QAudioOutput to speaker on iOS

[dbutter]

Hi,

I am developing an app using qt for ios and I want to be able to play audio to the speaker on the iphone. I am using QAudioOutput, and while it works I only hear audio from the ear-piece. When I use QAudioDeviceInfo::availableDevices(QAudio::AudioOutput) I only get the 'default' device, nothing else.

Is there some additional step I need to take to select the speaker on iOS? Does Qt support any such controls?

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Something is not clear, do you mean you can only hear the sound when you plug your headphones ?

Hi,

Thanks for responding.

The Apple iPhone 6+ has an earpiece and a speaker. The speaker is at the bottom and used by apps when they want to play audio to user without headphones (like watching video, etc.).

It seems I only have the ability to play audio out of the earpiece using Qt. Is this a known issue?

To clarify further, the "earpiece" is the small quiet speaker in the top of the phone that you press against your ear while talking on a phone call. The "speaker" is used for speaker-phone, playing music and video, etc. It is loud enough for these applications. The iphone's "earpiece" is only loud enough for phone-to-ear listening.

Qt seems to not be able to access the speaker.

Which version of iOS is it ?

Hi,

I am testing with version iOS 10.3.2.

Thanks, Devin

I might be wrong, but from a quick look at the iOS Audio Programming Guide, I don't think you can select the output to which the sound should go programmatically.
