Is it possible to Record and play at the same time?

[LunarMoon]

Hi guys,

I am trying to use SpeakHere code to detect the audio input level at the mic. So, technically I am "recording" audio, despite the fact that I am not creating any file.

I need then to play some audio while I am "recording". But iPhone won't let me.

It seems that SpeakHere code locks the audio hardware and will not let it play unless I finish recording.

Is there any way to solve that?

any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello all, I'm looking for the same help. I've placed this code in my viewDidLoad: method

NSError *err;
buzzSoundPlayer = [[ AVAudioPlayeralloc] initWithContentsOfURL: 
            [NSURL fileURLWithPath: [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource : @"buzz"  ofType: @"caf"inDirectory: @"/"]] error: &err];

buzzSoundPlayer.numberOfLoops = 3;
[buzzSoundPlayer prepareToPlay];

I've also added this as a variable in my ViewController.m file:

AVAudioPlayer     *buzzSoundPlayer;

and synthesized the setters and getters.

Now, once I have hit the record button in the application, any call like this:

[self.buzzSoundPlayer play];

plays the sound fine in the simulator, but is totally silent on the device. There are no error messages, it just doesn't play. Is there any way to get this working? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

When you begin recording with AVAudioRecorder, the AVAudioSession category is set to AVAudioSessionCategoryRecord. To play sounds simultaneously you must manually set the category afterwards:

[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord error:nil];
