Repeat sound after delay

[KoryF]

Hello. I have a problem with a music application I am working on enhancing by giving it the ability to adjust the timing of sounds which are repeated when a loop BOOL is true. I have implemented an NSTimer, which it is recognizing, but I am having trouble with the selector. After the given time, it just crashes instead of replaying the sound. My code looks something like this:

-(IBAction) playSound: (id) sender
{

	NSString *pathsoundFile;
	float nVolume;
	
	switch ([sender tag])
	{
		case 1:
			pathsoundFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"soundA" ofType:@"wav"];
			break;
			
		case 2:
			pathsoundFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"soundB" ofType:@"wav"];
			break;
if (bDoRecord)	
	{	
		//only allow up to 64 background sounds
		
		if([loopedSounds count]<=64)
		{
			
			[loopedSounds addObject:[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:pathsoundFile] error:NULL]];
			((AVAudioPlayer *)loopedSounds.lastObject).delegate=self;						
			((AVAudioPlayer *)loopedSounds.lastObject).volume = nVolume;
			((AVAudioPlayer *)loopedSounds.lastObject).numberOfLoops = 0;
			[((AVAudioPlayer *)loopedSounds.lastObject) prepareToPlay];
			pauseTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1.0 target:self selector:@selector(playSound:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
			[((AVAudioPlayer *)loopedSounds.lastObject) play];
	
		}
		
	}
	else
	{
		sound = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:pathsoundFile] error:NULL];
		sound.delegate = self;
		sound.volume =nVolume;
		[sound play];
		
	}
	
	NSError *setCategoryError = nil;
	[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance]
	 setCategory: AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback
	 error: &setCategoryError];
	
	if (setCategoryError) 
	{
		nil;
	}

}

I originally had the sound loop indefinitely and the .wav file is 6 seconds long. Thus, a six second loop. .. always... [yawn].
The problem is that I am not really a programmer. What am I missing? The app in its current state is called freesong and if you look at it you will notice the need to control the loop length! Help!

First of all, you have some memory management issues, which make me want to cry. You should check out some articles on iOS memory management and perhaps properties.

Regarding your app crash, can you give more details about the crash. Specifically the error message that is printed in the debug console when the crash occurs.
