Sound.Category Not Working On IOS 14

[Hartistic]

On IOS 14 (maybe earlier versions as well) changing the AVAudioSession's category utilizing Sound.category doesn't seem to work as intended.

If you would like to disable playing simultaneous audio tracks and want to switch to only playing one at a time, you should be able to set the category to .playback or .soloAmbient to disable "mixing". When changing the category however, audio still mixes.

By the way, loving this library thus far as it has saved me a lot of time, thank you!

Hi, I'm running into an issue that may be iOS 14 related as well. (I am very green so please bear with me if this is operator error).

What I'm finding is that creating an instance doesn't work (no sound).

This works:

                    let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: Bundle.main.path(forResource: "bell.mp3", ofType:nil)!)
                    Sound.play(url: url)

But this doesn't:

                    let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: Bundle.main.path(forResource: "bell.mp3", ofType:nil)!)
                    let alarmSound = Sound(url: url)!
                    alarmSound.play()

Since the first one works I'm assuming it isn't related to the URL or the sound file.

Any thoughts?

Same for me

The Sound instance is probably going out of scope immediately, terminating the underlying AVAudioPlayer instance. You probably want to keep a strong reference to each instance.
