Documentation

Initialization

AudioSessionManager is a singleton which can be initialized with a single statement:

// Initialize the audio session...
[[AudioSessionManager sharedInstance] startAndPostNotifications:YES];

Notifications

Two notifications are posted by this library if enabled:

• kAudioSessionManagerDevicesAvailableChangedNotification - the list of devices (returned by the availableAudioDevices property) has changed
• kAudioSessionManagerAudioDeviceChangedNotification - the current audio device (returned by the audioDevice property) has changed

Checking the current audio route

NSLog(@"audioRoute is %@", [AudioSessionManager sharedInstance].audioRoute);

Configuring the audio session

Configuring the device for input:

if (![[AudioSessionManager sharedInstance] changeMode:kAudioSessionManagerMode_Record]) {
    // .... handle error ...
}

and output:

if (![[AudioSessionManager sharedInstance] changeMode:kAudioSessionManagerMode_Playback]) {
    // .... handle error ...
}
