Sounds stop playing when user locks screen on iOS with AIR 3.9 Beta

We built a simple application that should play sounds when in background and when the screen is locked.
Since we updated to the latest AIR 3.9 Beta SDK, all sounds stop playing when the user locks the screen on iOS.
The sounds resume when the screen is unlocked.
- it works on Android
- we use renderMode : cpu
- we use UIBackgroundModes : audio
- we use NativeApplication.nativeApplication.systemIdleMode=SystemIdleMode.KEEP_AWAKE;
- sounds play when the app is in background
- was working great with AIR 3.8 SDK
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for reproting the issue, we have an internal already logged bug for this, which is under investigation at the moment.

DriveReadySeekComplete errors are either:
- IDE controler failure
- Bad cables
- Bad harddisk
Out of these 3, the last one sounds the most reasonable with nowadays harddrives. And yes, your system will hang when all your important processes are hanging while trying to do disk I/O.
What windows does is switching back to PIO mode and never report anything, until you hit the nice BSOD telling you to replace the floppydisk in drive C...

Sound pausing shortly when user locks iOS device?

Hi,
The bug causing a background sound to stop, when a user locks the screen on iOS device, has been lately fixed in AIR 4.0 beta.
However, now with beta 4.0.0.1390, when the device is locked or goes into sleep mode, the sound stops for 2 seconds (sometimes a bit more, it depends on the device power), then the sound continues playing. It happens on various devices (iPhone 3GS, iPod 4 and iPhone 4S) and multiple OS (5.1.1, 6.0.1, and 7).
My code is very simple, and uses the standard Sound.play() function. Of course it is better than the previous behaviour, since at least now the sounds continues after a while, but this cut can get annoying. Before I submit a bug, do you guys encounter the same issue?
Thank you!
Frédéric

Hi Nimit,
Thank you for validating this issue. I created a bug report here: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3692617
Since I am creating an audio app, this one is critical for me.
Good luck!

IPod touch not able to be controlled from lock screen or my car buttons when on lock screen on iOS 6 help

So I updated my iPod touch to iOS 6 now it no longer plays automatically in my car when I start it like before if its locked. Neither can I control it from my stereo buttons if its locked either so I had to set it to never lock the screen. Trying to figure out if there's a way to fix this or do I have to restore it back to iOS 5? I think it's a problem with the lock screen cause I can't even start playing music from it anymore by double clicking the home button like before I just want my old iPod back :( oh btw my car is a ford escape with sync audiophile I love my stereo and just want my **** iPod to work right

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
Or it could be that the update broke the compatibility. That happens sometimes. I would contact the car system manufacturer.

Getting FLV to stop playing when user clicks on nav button

I have a portfolio_mc that is inside of a content_mc (stage->content_mc->portfolio_mc). There are 3 buttons that take the user to an appropriate frame designated by a frame label and this loads up an FLV. The problem is that when I click on any of the navigation buttons on the main timeline, the FLV that is currently playing, is still playing (I can hear the audio). So I need to figure out how to stop this.
Here is the code used for controlling the buttons in the motion_mc timeline:
stop();
var naviArr:Array = new Array(btn01, btn02, btn03);
btn01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);
btn02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);
btn03.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);
btn01.buttonMode = true;
btn02.buttonMode = true;
btn03.buttonMode = true;
function navigate(event:MouseEvent):void
switch(event.target){
   case btn01:trace("video01");
   gotoAndPlay("video01");
   handleBtn(btn01);
   break;
   case btn02:trace("video02");
   gotoAndPlay("video02");
   handleBtn(btn02);
   break;
   case btn03:trace("video03");
   gotoAndPlay("video03");
   handleBtn(btn03);
   break;
function handleBtn(btn:MovieClip):void
   for(var i:uint = 0; i<naviArr.length; i++){
      if(naviArr[i] == btn){
         naviArr[i].removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);
         naviArr[i].buttonMode = false;
      }else{
         naviArr[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);
         naviArr[i].buttonMode = true;

I really like your layout it is very cool looking.
You have it all set up just right. KGlad is right you don't even need to embed the flvplayback controls in another movieclip. I think the reason I had them in movieclips was another designer had them all set up that way and at the time I didn't want to mess with them. =P
At the beginning of your navigate function before you drop into the switch statement just put this in.....
function navigate(event:MouseEvent):void
    if(movie != null) //anytime there is something called movie on in scope when we navigate tell it to stop.
        movie.stop();
switch(event.target){
   case btn01:trace("video01");
   gotoAndPlay("video01");
   handleBtn(btn01);
   break;
   case btn02:trace("video02");
   gotoAndPlay("video02");
   handleBtn(btn02);
   break;
   case btn03:trace("video03");
   gotoAndPlay("video03");
   handleBtn(btn03);
   break;
That should do it for you.

Getting a video to stop playing when user clicks on another button to navigate

Hello,
I am trying to create a little website in flash.. I have some video that plays automatically once the user goes to that section (I am using frame labels to navigate from section to section of the site).
But, when the user clicks another button to go to a different page, the video is still playing because I hear it..How can I stop the video from playing once another button gets clicked?
thanks
babs

All's you should need, if the video starts playing on its own, is...
function clickSection(evtObj:MouseEvent) {
     if (this.currentLabel == "about") {
          about_mc.vid_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
     gotoAndStop(evtObj.target.name);
If the video needs to be kick started because it was sent back to stop at frame 1 due to a previous navigation, then place that kick start in the about frame itself... about_mc.vid_mc.play();
If that's not working, be sure to check that your instance names are assigned. Also, I have been assuming that the video is embedded into the timeline of the movieclip, so if that's not the case, then some other solution may be needed.

When I play my Ipod shuffle 3rd gen there's a moment when I start hearing interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down.

My Ipod shuffle 3rd gen starts playing songs with some kind of interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down. First I thought it was the earphones, but I exchanged them for newer ones and so far its the same

You may want to do a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. If it's a software or data corruption glitch, the Restore should fix it. After the Restore, reload or resync your songs, and try it again. As a test, you may want to initially select a small number of songs to put back on the shuffle.

Spotify stops playing when iPhone screen goes into standby/powersave (i.e. after one minute!)

I usually use it in the car or when runnign and it has been fine up until today!Now, when I play something Spotify stops playing when iPhone screen goes blank - ie power saving - which it NEVER did before. I can't play tunes from the screensaver (ie locked phone) screen either. Can't find anything on the forums that looks similar. Please help!!ThanksLucy

Hi,

What do you mean by this sentence exactly.....top off?
Any ideas?
I would post in the MacBook Pro late 2008, 2009 usage forum. Might be hardware related and they know your Mac best.
If you have one earlier then that, post in the Original MacBook Pro usage forum.In the meantime try a SMC reset again as it controls sleep, wake, shutdown and more.

HT3576 how to assigne a unique sound to a single incoming e mail address and have it aleart when in lock screen 4s Iphone 6.13

how to assign a unique sound to a single incoming e mail address and have it alert when in lock screen on 4s Iphone 6.1.3
I receive emergency requests for service thru e mails. my old BB let you assign separate sounds for incoming e mail addresses. can I duplicate that with Iphone or MUST I be woken with each and every incoming e mail?

I have email messages alert sounds turned off except for VIP addresses (of which I have only one). That means I only get alerted for that one address.
To add a Contacts entry to VIP senders in iPhone Mail:
Open your list of mailboxes in iPhone Mail.
Tap the > button next to VIP.
Select Add VIP… at the list's end.
Tap the desired entry from your contacts.
Then, in Notifications>Mail, turn off the souds for your email account but enable them for VIP.
Note that all VIP emails will have the same tone. It's more like the Priority feature on a BB than custom text tones.
Best of luck.

TS3700 music stops playing when the screen goes dark, but the earbud jack is flush with the iPod. The Jack is hard to push in now. what is the problem?

Music stops playing when the screen goes dark; the earbud jack is flush with the iPod. The Jack is hard to push in. what is the problem? How do I Fix it?

And you are positive the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?
Have you tried another set of headphones to see if the problem persisted? If so, it's likely that the headphone jack needs replacing.

Why does my music stop playing when I sleep my screen?

Why do songs stop playing when I sleep my screen? If my screen automatically sleeps after two minutes or I sleep it with the button or iPad smart cover the music stops playing. It only started doing this after upgrading to 5.0.1. Is this just a bug with the new software?

Thanks Rachel, I have done that and it seemed to have taken care of the problem, though my music videos in "Video" stop playing when my iPad sleeps automatically after two minutes... I am trying to find out how to contact apple about these issues directly...

TS3700 why does my music stop playing when i press the sleep/wake buttom? it says the screen turns off but the music should be playing

why does my music stop playing when i press the sleep wake button? it says that the screen should turn off bu the music should still keep playing

This is usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged all the way in. Make sure the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano and no silver from the plug can still be seen.
If you are 100% positive that the earbuds are all the way in, double check to make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris and/or damage.

Sound stop playing during video playing on ipad 1 with ios 5.1.1

after updating my ipad 1 to ios 5.11 the sound on my ipad sometimes stops suddenly. it happens during video playback, music listening or just text typing on keyboard.
i ve tried all the advices seen on communities and no one worked for me (restore the system, change the lock screen button configuration, clean the headphone input, test with apple headphones...)
please help me to find a solution and thank you for your help.
another information : when sound stop playing, sometimes when i lock the ipad, a strange noise comes from the speakers like a larsen.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

AUDIGY 2 ZS: Sound stops working when loading ga

Hello, I recently upgraded my CPU/mobo and reformatted. Ever since then I've been having a few problems with my sound. I'm using the Audigy 2 ZS. I have the latest drivers off the website. Yes, I have disabled the onboard audio in the BIOS and there are no drivers for it installed in Windows. And yes, I have the latest version of DirectX and SP2 and everything else from Windows Update.
- I'll play Mp3's in Winamp - using both the DirectSound and waveOut output methods - and the music will play fine. Windows system sounds and AIM sounds play find with this too. When I launch any game however, the sound shuts off.
For example, I'll load World of Warcraft, and the music will stop playing, when I exit the game the music resumes. Even stranger I noticed that when I WoW is running, the speaker configuration randomly gets changed from headphones to stereo speakers. Changing it back via Creative Audio Console caused the audio console to hang. Trying to change speaker configuration via Windows did nothing. and yes, I checked to ensure my soundcard was selected as the proper playback device, the volume was up, not muted, etc...
When I run Neverwinter Nights 2, the sound will shut off for the into logo screens and the intro scene. My Mp3 music from Winamp WILL resume playing at the main menu, however, the volume becomes noticeably less. Exitting the game restores the proper volume level.
Even stranger - if I run NW2 followed by Warcraft, my music will play during WoW, but at a lowered volume similar to Neverwinter nights 2. If I then quit WoW and restart WoW, I am back to no music. Strangely it seems just to get the low-volume music to play during WoW, I have to have previously run Neverwinter Nights 2.
To summarize:
- Music and Windows sounds stop altogether while running World of Warcraft
- Music and Windows sounds play at much lesser volume during neveriwnter nights 2, and not at all during intro
- sound works in warcraft, but at a lower volume, ONLY if I'd run neverwinter just before runnign warcraft
- similar buggy low volume / no music at all problems in Medieval 2 Total War
- one time I had my music become all distored and start skipping/ slowing down when I was trying to reset the speaker configuration back to Headphones when it was magically changed to stereo speakers.
I highly doubt it's a problem with the games - I've been playing these games and using Winamp and my Audigy 2 ZS for quite a while now, and never had a problem with any of my games screwing around with my WIndows sound levels or cutting it off altogether. I'll keep updating as I install more softwareMessage Edited by xagent on 0-09-20070:9 AM

Could it have anything to do with the fact that the drivers I downlaoded were off the Creative website?
I'm currently on WInter break for a couple more weeks, and left my Audigy 2 ZS CDs back at college. But I don't see why the latest Audigy 2 drivers from the Creative website should be faulty.
oh, and I'm running Win XP Pro
