No sound on latest xCode and unity [RESOLVED]

hi im not getting any sound playback from my latest app using latest unity release and latest xCode.

no errors being thrown nd the project plays sound from within unity itself..

Am i missing something somewhere or is it a bug?

Thanks

 

Anyone got a clue i have tried different audio settings but nothing plays.. any thoughts anyone..

 

It was previously working but not in latest unit with xCode 9.1

 

unmute switch on the device

 

good call buttered on iPad retina and iPhone 6s,, no joy with either..

Going to try a fresh project to see if it works..

thanks

any other suggestions welcome

 

Ok tried new project and still no sound. will play in the editor but not once compiled through xCode.
Must be a bug.

 

does the standalone (desktop) build work ?
do other audio files play ?
it might be a bug under specific circumstances such as slightly non standard audio format or possibly corrupted file
if not then definitely report it

 

Hi,
Well i just rolled back to earlier version of unity and the problem still exists,
Its across all audio files. It does play in the unity editor no worries, I did a build on my pc for android and worked perfectly, no issues with the sound at all.
So i can only think it is the latest version of xCode causing it..

Dont suppose you know how to roll back on xCode to an earlier version..

Thanks

 

is something in the Xcode console when you run it on the device ? ( cmd+shift+y in Xcode )
as for the downgrading - that might be tricky, possibly not without OS reinstall, never did it myself

 

I tried downgrading but apple stated its own software was malware lmao.. stupid.. anyhow just installing beta version to see if that works..

 

hmm still not working with latest beta xCode....
bummer... aarrgh dont want to have to do complete reinstall.

Anyone running latest xCode /unity to confirm the issue?

Thanks

 

Oh it plays just fine on mac desktop no worries its specific to iOS apps.. sucks

 

X code auto updated on 13th Nov to. 7.1.1 which does not work with latest unity release. I then tried the beta version 7.2. Still not working.

Cheers

 

I made a bug report with a clean project.
Thanks

 

For sure, the case number is : 744975
cheers

 

Hi,

thanks, I have reinstalled latest unity as stated and still same problem on iPad build, and combined build.

I am running on iPad retina just over 1 year old.

I wil be able to try a iPhone this evening.

However i am going to do a complete reinstall to see if this fixes it.

Thanks

 

Hi I was running latest elcapitano os. Ipad is model A1566.
Os on ipad 9.1 fully upto date.

Thanks

Everything seem like its ok..

suggestions welcome ..

Thanks


Edit: the odd thing is it was working fine 3 weeks ago, even publish a version of the app then..

 

Have you tried any other sound-related apps on that device, or another device? Maybe the device suddenly started having sound problems.

 

All apps work perfectly.. sound is not a problem with the device it's self just won't work with x code compiled unity projects..
Cheers

 

Ok good progress it works on iPhone 6s but not on the iPad. However all other apps work on the iPad.
So it looks like its device specific.

Cheers

 

Ok really odd thing i downloaded the last release that was published several weeks ago and the sound now will not play on the iPad.. so something is up with latest device update and unity published apps i am guessing..

All other apps like youtube and so on work fine.

hope this helps getting to the bottom of this

cheers

 

Any update on the iPad issue? is it being looked into?

Thanks

 

Hi _Paulius,

I have had contact with users of the app and they are also experiencing sound issues on ipads. I you go to the app store and download 'Calm Mind' Mindfulness counting app. I currently get no sound from this published app aswell on the ipad.

iTunes link to app:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/calm-mind/id1019084166?ls=1&mt=8

I will try your suggestion above.

The device doesn't have a mute button on the ipad they removed it in the latest models.

As I sadi above other apps have sound with no issue.. just unity projects.

I have tested on iPhone 6s with no issues.. I do have another ipad.. which come to think of it should of tested.. ill do that now and come back to you.

I have attached screen shots of the app for reference.

 

I can confirm that the sound does work on my older iPad. see images below, but not on the latest iPad.

I will try your other suggestion as to a movie file and come back to you shortly

cheers

 

Ok i am not too familiar with the movie snipet but this is what i tried. I added it to a empty gameobject , The thing is when compiled it didn't seem to run so not sure whether it is correct.

code:
Start(){
Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie("movie.mp4", Color.black, FullScreenMovieControlMode.Full, FullScreenMovieScalingMode.AspectFill);
}
the mp4 is located in the assets folder and i am assuming this is the default path.

If this is correct, then i am not sure why it is not playing on the iPad.

If its not right please correct me so i can crack on..

Thanks

Daniel

 

"The device doesn't have a mute button on the ipad they removed it in the latest models."
they might have removed physical switch, but mute state is configurable still - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204171

 

Ok hand on the table.. It was the fecking mute button only accessible through the pull up menu when playing the damn app. Fk so sorry guys this has been stressing the heck outta me days..jesus what a joke..

they have even moved the option from the darn general settings menu..

Thanks for your time on educating a muppet.

Cheers

 

Jesus christ, for me it was an even lamer thing; I'm putting my pride aside and mentioning my fail for the good of the community:

For all you Android / Windows Phone users, apparently iPhones (4s, 5s at least) have a little "mute" switch, which doesn't affect all apps (I could reproduce sound in iPhone's recording app for example) but it didn't allow any of my game's sound to go through!! Scared the S*** out of me

 

Thanks! I am new to iphones and have only used Androids my whole life.

When I built my game to my iphone I couldn't for the life of me figure out why my sound was not playing.

I didn't know iphone's had a mute switch hahahaha. Crazy!

 

Glad to help a fellow iChallenged person

 

I also had troubles with the switch and I put this code into my native iOS plugin and now I don't care about it's position - the music plays all the time.

NSError *error;
[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback withOptions:AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionAllowBluetooth | AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionAllowAirPlay | AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionAllowBluetoothA2DP error:nil];
[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setActive:YES error:&error];

Hope this will help.

 

Had the same problem here guys. Dizãzz what a button joke. I was entering in a collapse because of that damn.

Thank you guys!

 

Thanks for all the hints everyone! As with posts above I was convinced my sound on the device was turned on (volume up, no mute button on the ipad, app store apps played sound as normal).

If it helps anyone the switch is a red bell button. Swipe from top right of device for menu. See image below.


Can't believe it took me so long
