SKAudioNode Crash: AVAudioPlayerNode.mm:333: Start: required condition is false: _engine->IsRunning()

Question

I've a simple SKAudioNode:

let backgroundSound = SKAudioNode(fileNamed: "backgroundSound.mp3")

I use to play backgroundSound.runAction(SKAction.play()) and backgroundSound.runAction(SKAction.stop()) to stop.

Everything works fine until the app did enter in background mode and I'll resume more than 3 minute. If I go in background mode and resume after 10 - 20 seconds, the Audio doesn't crash.

All crash log:

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

I use also this notification to pause all scene ad stop SKAudioNode action:

func applicationDidEnterBackground(application: UIApplication) {
        NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName(notificationPauseGame, object: nil)
    }

Do You Have Any Idea?

Thanks guys

You could try to load your file with:

var backgroundMusic: SKAudioNode!

if let musicURL = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("backgroundSound", withExtension: "mp3") {
    backgroundMusic = SKAudioNode(URL: musicURL)
    addChild(backgroundMusic)
}

This method give directly your audio resource without leave to fileNamed to search in main bundle , it's an alternative.
