Audio plays well in iPhone simulator but not in iPhone

Hi all, I have an app that is nearly finished but encountered an annoying problem. In the app, I want to play a sound when I tap on some object, then the object disappears. This is the piece of code I used: In Object.h #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> #import <AudioToolbox/AudioServices.h> @interface Object: UIView { UIImageView *image; ...

Combine Video and Audio Streams (Qt, OpenCV, PortAudio,libsnd?)

DSP - Filter sweep effect

I'm implementing a 'filter sweep' effect (I don't know if it's called like that). What I do is basically create a low-pass filter and make it 'move' along a certain frequency range. To calculate the filter cut-off frequency at a given moment I use a user-provided linear function, which yields values between 0 and 1. My first attempt wa...

Audio Streaming API's: Wifi vs what?

I've noticed certain radio apps, that some stations required wifi and others did not. What were those other stations possibly using? Are there other methods of streaming audio on iOS? Apparently, I was not clear in my question before. I'm asking in terms of API's. Is there an API to interact directly with say, FM radio, on iOS? Is wif...

Audio Playback Rate in Android

So, I know that this has been done with a few Android apps before, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how, since it's not currently possible through the API. How does one adjust the playback rate of a sound played through MediaPlayer; either with or without adjusting the pitch is fine for now, though the latter is definitely pre...

How to extract frequency information from samples from PortAudio using FFTW in C

Hi all, I want to make a program that would record audio data using PortAudio (I have this part done) and then display the frequency information of that recorded audio (for now, I'd like to display the average frequency of each of the group of samples as they come in). From some research I've done, I know that I need to do an FFT. So I...

PlaySystemSound with mute switch on

I know, I have to set the AudioSession to the 'playback' category, which allows audio even when the mute switch is on. This is what I do, but sound still gets muted when switch is on.

<audio> elements not working on WordPress

Hello all, I have a small WordPress site. I do a lot of audio work and I'm trying to post HTML5 audio clips in blog entries on WordPress. For some reason it isn't working. It might have something to do with the style I'm using on my WordPress site but I haven't been able to nail it down. I know my audio tags are valid, as they work else...

Video and Audio Drift

Hey everyone, I was wondering, how much does recorded audio and video drift from their actual recording time usually? (So like, perhaps a frame is dropped or something) I'm recording both separately (into unsigned 8 bit PCM (44100 Hz) and raw image data files) and I was wondering how much I can expect each to drift. Thanks in advance!...

It seems like when it gets to the last second of the audio (and it's always the last second, regardless if the sound is two seconds or 10), it doesn't update it's position until it finishes. Example output: Playback Progress: 0/3.99 - ...
