iOS Simulator does not play sound

Question

On XCode 6, everything works well on device, but on simulator, sound is not played.

There is my swift code :

var url =  NSURL(string: \"http://my.ur         


        

Answer 1

I had this problem. Just quit and start again to Simulator.

Answer 2

I was having this problem, the comment from @Matti Jokipii, helped me a lot.

You need to have a sound input enabled, so your Mac doesn't give you the null exception.
Go To System Preferences > Sound. And Check you have some input connected. If not, you will have to add a microfone, and re-rerun the app.

Answer 3

The error occurs because you are trying to get device's sample rate from simulator, which is not possible.

Because simulator is not a hardware. Its a software.

So some hardware functionality will not able to simulated with it.

It can not do the following:

1. Open Camera
2. Play sounds
3. Gyrometer
4. Accelerometer
5. Shake effect
6. Receive push notifications

And many more which required device hardware acceleration.

You need to test this in real device.
