2010-02-15 >> DEVELOPERS CORNER - FRUSTRATION!

Mobile 1UP has been tackling a weird audio bug that seems to only be specific to certain iPhone devices running OS 3.1.2 where the games would no longer play audio after they have been used once. The issue comes down to the use of AudioQueueEnqueueBuffer.

It was evident that none of the implemntation provided by Apple was not reporting any errors, however audio would not function on certain devices. Replacing AudioQueueEnqueueBuffer with an AudioUnit implementation resolved the issue. Mobile 1UP will be posting updates to all its games to rectify this issue.

Thanks to all users who reported the issue!
