Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask if there is any way to control the volume of the system sound effect. When I press the volume control toggle (up and down) in the game, the system sound effects does not get affected. I also read that this should be affected by the ringer volume. But the weird thing is that when I press the volume up and down, I do not see the little ringer text on top of the speaker icon. I only see the speaker icon without ringer on top when I press the volume control. Does anyone know why?

Thanks.

A: 

If audio is playing on your device using audioQueue, iPod or some other form other than system sounds, the volume adjusted by the side buttons will be the device volume. If the device is otherwise silent, adjusting the side buttons will adjust the ringer volume.

Hi thanks for that answer. I am actually using the core audio to play a music in the game and the AudioServicesPlaySystemSound to play short sound effects. Any idea how I can sort that out ?
record your sound effects at a lower volume

Thanks. I will try that.
Is it ok if i use the coreaudio instead of the systemsound effect to play short sound effects?
yes, but it will cause the status bar "Play" icon to show everytime a sound is played on iOS 4

Ah ok. thanks. I better stick with systemsound effect then.
