No sound on the new Ipad

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

Hi all,

I have this issue . I searched the forum, but couldn’t find anyone with similar bug (so I guess it must be something I am doing incorrectly) .

My apps were built and tested successfully for Iphone and Ipad1,2 . Like everyone else, the apps had issues displaying on the new Ipad (1/4 display issue), so I rebuilt them using CoronaSDK 2011.704 (2012.03.19) . The display issue is fixed, but all the apps have no sound . The same app, if downloaded and installed on Ipad 2, will have sound. Is this a bug in the SDK ? If not, any suggestions on how to can troubleshoot my apps ?

There is an Apple bug with iOS 5.0 and 5.1 that causes openAL audio to not play if there is more than one app loaded in the background running openAL. You will only run into this problem if you load and run multiple programs using openAL audio (not just Corona built apps). If you restart the app, the problem goes away. This issue is related to iOS 5.0/5.1 and not specific to a device type. This doesn’t sound like the problem you’re seeing since you say the sound doesn’t work when firsts loaded.

What audio APIs are you using: media.playSound/Event or audio.play?

Is the iPad 2 running iOS 5.0/5/1?

You could try loading some of the Corona sample apps that use audio and see if they work: Eggbreaker and SimplePoolPlus. The AudioPlayer uses the older audio APIs so you could try that too.

I haven’t heard of any audio problems specific to the new iPad Retina. [import]uid: 7559 topic_id: 24370 reply_id: 98542[/import]
