Sound playing via Receiver instead of phone speaker in IOS

[Frosty92]

I have no problems with playing/manipulating the sound file in IOS, but the sound is coming from the receiver so it's not practical. I am using the latest version of this module, testing on Iphone 5s.

I'm experiencing the same thing, the sound does not play from the speaker. Also have 5s.

I'm having the same issue. I'm using react-native-audio and it only happens after I've recorded audio.

[wootwoot1234]

@zmxv any idea why this is happening?

[wootwoot1234]

For other people having this issue. Calling .setCategory("Playback"); right before .play(); fixed my issue.

No, this doesn't work in my case.

This sounds like a conflict between react-native-audio and this library.

EDIT: Yeah, it's setting the category to AVAudioSessionCategoryMultiRoute.
See https://github.com/jsierles/react-native-audio/blob/master/ios/AudioRecorderManager.m

Should be fixable by calling .setCategory('Playback') after react-native-audio has finished recording.

I'm closing this issue for now. If this comes up again, let me know and I'll reopen.

It didn't work after setting up setCategory('Playback'). Audio continuously comes from the microphone, not from the speaker. And I want to record audio and play that audio at the same time, not after react-native-audio has finished recording. Please help me if you have any solution.

Please give me suggestions if you have any. I have facing issues with iOS 16 particularly. So, it would be great if you share any suggestions asap @benvium .
