media.playSound() and media.playEventSound() in Simulator
Posted on Sun, 2010-02-07 09:48
media.playEventSound() is not working for me in the Corona Simulator with any audio file or format. Does this require a build to work?
media.playSound() is not working for me in the Corona Simulator with the audio files provided in the demos but works with other audio files. I messed around with the demo audio files to get them to work. (see below)
GettingStarted/EventSound_tests & Tutorial/HelloWorld3
- beep.caf won't play back in Corona Simulator
- converting to .aif or .mp3 doesn't help
Fix: make the sound longer than .5 seconds (I added silence to the end of the sound in Sound Studio)
- after fixing the sound works in all formats (.caf, .aiff, .mp3)
Device/CaptureToFile
- CameraShutter.aiff will not play back in Corona Simulator
- tried a minor edit in Sound Studio and resaved as .aif but still didn't work
- other .aif or .aiff files play back fine
Fix: convert CameraShutter.aiff to mp3 in iTunes or Sound Studio
I'm having the opposite problem. I have my sound working fine in the simulator (mp3s 1 - 4 secs long) but they dont play on the iPhone... Any help?
pipID = media.newEventSound( "pip.mp3" )
function playPip()
media.playEventSound( pipID )
end
playPip()
