AVAudioSession Speaker Fix

STRITZ — Fri, 11 May 2012 23:45:16 +0000

Below is a code snipped that quickly solved what could have been a huge problem. In the development of the Affirmation Labs iOS App, I set a session up so my affirmation audio can loop and continue in the background regardless of home-button push and device lock. After this behemoth task and trickery was completed, I realized that during my AVAudioSession with Category set to AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord, I had a huge issue with volume decreasing when the session was enabled. Once I created the fix for directing audio forcefully to the iOS speaker to retain my max volume level, I ran into another bug that certainly stumped me. When I would plug in headphones and unplug them during the audio session, the audio would revert off of the speaker and I would hear a huge decrease in iPhone audio. Much love to Jonas on StackOverflow for figuring this out and sharing it with the community. I’ve re-posted the code as a kickoff to my “Code” category on my blog as it certainly saved me a tone of time and investigation and is quite simple and elegant.


NSError *setCategoryErr = nil;
NSError *activationErr  = nil;
//Set the general audio session category
[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord error:&setCategoryErr];
//Make the default sound route for the session be to use the speaker
//Jonas' Code Begins ---------------
UInt32 doChangeDefaultRoute = 1;
AudioSessionSetProperty (kAudioSessionProperty_OverrideCategoryDefaultToSpeaker, sizeof (doChangeDefaultRoute), &doChangeDefaultRoute);
//Jonas' Code Ends ----------------
//Activate the customized audio session
[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setActive: YES error: &activationErr];

Today Im taking Flavors.Me for a test-run. In doing so, I built out my new and personal Jonathan Strietzel or Strietzel Flavors.Me page which has a pretty easy to use interface and a straight forward design approach. Adding social media and networks was simple and easy.
