Hello Guys, please see this thread : http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=6F7700F599243000572089A&command=isSearching&currentPage=1&topicTitle=silent%20mode&createdBy=&repliedBy=&minViews=-1&maxViews=-1&minReplies=-1&maxReplies=-1&forumCategory= I still dont know how to solve my problem, I keep on getting bad reviews on my apps because people dont understand that when silent mode is on, even though you change change the volume, there will be no audio until the silent mode is switch off. This is not considered as a bug as it is the default behavior of buzztouch, however it is suprising to most people and they think it's a bug because it is not the default behavior of other apps playing videos. So David suggested in the above thread that I copy and paste some code to change that, but I'm bad at coding and need more simple explanations of where EXACTLY should I copy that code. Tks so much if someone can help. Serge

Hi photoserge, so it is definitely confirmed that toggling silent mode fixes the problem in all cases? I have an app that has some complaints about no sound and users are saying that toggling silent mode makes no difference so maybe something else is funky....I am going to look into placing the code David suggested and will post back with findings...keep u posted :)

Hi, this should fix your problem, in your Xcode Project find your BT_Config folder, in this folder you will find yourAppName_appDelegate.m file....scroll down pretty far in this file to around line 880 just after the array list of .mp3 sound effects you will see this code //setup audio session for background sounds. Allow iPod to continue if it's already playing. [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory: AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient error: nil]; [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setActive: YES error: nil]; NOW just after that code paste the code below...you should now have audio and video playing regardless of mute switch on side of device...i tested and worked for me. // prevent mute switch from switching off audio from movie player NSError *_error = nil; [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory: AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error: &_error];

Hey tks you so much Ianjamespiano !!! You are the king, a life saver, I have been trying on various forums to get an answer to this with no success and it works !!! I suggest anybody doing videos on their buzztouch apps to implement this, they will get better reviews and less mail to support ! Tks again. Serge

Glad to help, this definitely fixed the problem..I had users that were complaining test the new code and it worked great..all happy :)

thanks for the tip here, i just noticed this on an app i'm working on. i'll add that code as well. i'm surprised how much useful hacking in done in that youapp_appDelegate.m file.

I just ran into this problem... added the code mentioned and got it working in my first app... no real questions here... just a big THANK YOU to this forum!
