I am playing a list of audios in an html into UIWebView of IOS with the AudioContext object of the Javascript
eg :
var ctx = new AudioContext();
var node= ctx.createBufferSource();
node.buffer = AudioBufferFromAjaxCall;
node.connect(gainNodeObjCreatedEarlier);
node.start();
and the problem is node.stop(); isnt working , the audio started continuesly playing and not stopping
It would be helpful to know the version of safari that your UIWebView is using and whether or not you can reproduce it in the desktop version. Also, do you get any kind of log or error in the console?
In any case, have you tried passing a parameter to the stop method? something like
node.stop(0);
This argument specifies after how many seconds the node should stop. Sending 0 may help.

I am working on a Chromecast custom receiver app, built on top of the sample app provided by Google (sampleplayer.CastPlayer)
The app manages a playlist, I would like the player to move on to the next item in the list after a video fails to play for whatever reason.
I am running into a situation where, after a video fails to load because of a network error, the player becomes unresponsive: in the 'onError_()' handler, my custom code will do this
var queueLoadRequest = ...
var mediaManager = ...
setTimeout (function(){mediaManager.queueLoad(queueLoadRequest)}), 5000
...the player does receive the LOAD event according to the receiver logs, but nothing happens on the screen, the player's status remains IDLEand the mediaManager.getMediaQueue().getItems() remains undefined. Same result trying to use the client controller to try to load a different video.
I have tried to recover with mediaManager.resetMediaElement() and player.reset() in the onError_ handler, but no luck.
For reference, here is a screenshot of the logs (filtered for errors only) leading up to the player becoming unresponsive. Note that I am not interested in fixing the original error, what I need to figure out is how to recover from it:
My custom code is most likely responsible for the issue, however after spending many hours + stripping the custom code to a bare minimum in an effort to isolate the responsible bit of code, I have not made any progress. I am not looking for a fix but rather for some guidance in troubleshooting the root cause: what could possibly cause the Player to become unresponsive? or alternatively how can one recover from an unresponsive Player?
I receive over network PCM audio data stream and this part works fine so I am ending up with
DataReader incomming = args.GetDataReader();
byte[] RcvBuffer = new byte[incomming.UnconsumedBufferLength];
incomming.ReadBytes(RcvBuffer);
I have all audio data in buffer.
How I can play this through telephone Speaker ? Can you point me in some direction ?
Thanks
There're many ways to do that.
You can prepend the WAVE header to your data, and use MediaElement for playback, see the documentation for SetSource method.
If however by “telephone speaker” you mean the earphone, then it is only possible if you are creating a VoIP app.
It took a while but I sorted it, maybe someone else will need help in the future.
First Problem - since I just started app development for Windows Phone I have chosen Blank App (Windows Phone) instead Blank App (Windows Phone Silverlight) and I did not have access to many features that are available in Silverlight projects, so my suggestions for beginners: understand what each project is for.
Like Soonts said there are many ways to do this, this is one that I used.
I simplified this code and retyped this so there can be some typos.
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio;
using System.IO;
1) Create Stream to load your incoming data:
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
2) Load data from buffer to stream:
stream.Write(RcvBuffer, 0, RcvBuffer.Length);
3) I am using SoundEfect to play this through Loud-Speaker. Sample rate that I use is 8 kHz
SoundEffect sound;
sound = new SoundEffect(stream.toArray(), 8000, AudioChannels.Mono)
sound.Play();
I just developed an App by using adobe air. It contains some animations with background music in mp3 format. The problem is that the music is very jerky when the animation is playing...
FYI, this is the way how I play audio in flash:new Sound(new URLRequest("m3.mp3")).play()
Have I done anything wrong?
BTW, the funny thing is that if you hit the HOME button, and then come back to the app again, everything plays beautifully...
Without knowing more about the code, it seems like the sound is not fully loaded. The file plays as far as it can, then waits for more data to show up, then continues . . . very jerky. You may have to wait for the sound to load completely before playing it:
var s = new air.Sound();
s.addEventListener(air.Event.COMPLETE, onSoundLoaded);
var req = new air.URLRequest("bigSound.mp3");
s.load(req);
function onSoundLoaded(event)
{
var localSound = event.target;
localSound.play();
}
This code is from Adobe's Sound docs.
I made a streaming music player and it works fine in the foreground.
But in the background iOS4, it doesn't play the next song automatically. ( remote control works )
The reason is AudioQueueStart return -12985.
I already check the audio session. it just fine. I use AudioQueueStart when it start to play the music.
How can you remove AudioQueueStart?
- (void)play
{
[self setupAudioQueueBuffers]; // calcluate the size to use for each audio queue buffer, and calculate the // number of packets to read into each buffer
OSStatus status = AudioQueueStart(self.queueObject, NULL);
}
I read the answer in the web about the AudioQueueStart fail subject.
One thing to check is that the AudioSession is active first.
In my case, I had previously set the session to inactive between song changes before starting a new song:AudioSessionSetActive(false);
Once I removed this AudioQueueStart works just fine from the background.
In my experience, the -12985 message occurs because another app already has an audio session active when you try to start playback in your app. Options are to 1) instruct the user to close the other app, or 2) set mix mode (see kAudioSessionProperty_OverrideCategoryMixWithOthers).
The disadvantage of mix mode is if you depend on lock screen art or remote controls, they won't work with mix mode set.
I also faced with such problem week ago. I've spent two days to find solution and I found it. May be this link will help (it is official answer): http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#qa/qa1668/_index.html
Make sure that you activate session from applicationDidEnterBackground task handler. Now my application can play sound in background.
See this.
You probably need to include the following:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginReceivingRemoteControlEvents];
Towards the bottom there is a reiteration of the how important that line is. As it is not mentioned in any of the three main audio audio guides (AVFoundation, AudioSession, or AudioQueue) it can easily be missed.
I have the same problem.
I registry the AudioSessionInterruptionListener, pause the audio when phone call, resume it after the call end. but get -12985 error code when call AudioQueueStart to resume.
My solution is that I try to call AudioQueueStart after 0.02s.
I don't know the reason.
On iOS7, AudioQueueStart was returning '!int' ('tni!'), though i'm sure no one would be surprised to find that it's not documented in the docs or headers. It was the same issue, though, and the same fix (setting the audio session to active in the background task handler) worked for me.
I would like to create a simple add-on that would play a different MP3 recording every time the user double clicks a word in a webpage he is visiting and selects a special option from the context menu.
The MP3 files are located on a remote server. Normally I would use JavaScript+Flash to play the MP3 file. In a Firefox add-on, however, I'm unable to load external scripts for some reason (playing the sound works fine if it's the webpage itself that loads the scripts, but of course I need it to work with every website and not just the ones that include the script).
So what's the easiest way to play a remote MP3 file in a Firefox add-on using JavaScript?
This may not entirely solve your question, as I don't BELIEVE it plays MP3s, but I'm not certain.
Firefox has nsISound, which I KNOW can play remote WAV files, as I've tested and proved it.
You may want to test it for yourself and see if it leads you a little closer!
var ios = Components.classes['#mozilla.org/network/io-service;1'].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIIOService);
var sound = ios.newURI("http://www.yoursite.com/snds/haha.wav", null, null);
var player = Components.classes["#mozilla.org/sound;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsISound);
player.play(sound);
Good luck, I hope this at least gets you close!
I know this is an old question, but if someone needs a way to do it:
let player = document.createElement("audio");
player.src = browser.runtime.getURL(SOUND_URL);
player.play();
There is one caveat: the user must have allowed autoplay on the website.
Here is a working code....
var sound = Components.classes["#mozilla.org/sound;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsISound);
var soundUri = Components.classes['#mozilla.org/network/standard-url;1'].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIURI);
soundUri.spec = "chrome://secchat/content/RING.WAV";
sound.play(soundUri);
var window = require('sdk/window/utils').getMostRecentBrowserWindow();
var audio = ('http://example.com/audio.mp3');
audio.play();
