Audio Stops Playing when iPhone 6 Goes to Sleep #783

Closed ayjee closed 4 years ago

ayjee commented 7 years ago

On an iPhone 6 using howlerjs in the chrome browser, when audio is playing and the phone is locked or goes to sleep, the audio stops. Is there a way to keep the audio playing while the phone sleeps or is locked with howlerjs?

I know it is possible, although maybe not with howler because it works from this site http://www1.play.it/audio/the-sports-junkies/. Click the play button and it will work.

sound = data.howl = new Howl({ src: [data.file], html5: true, format: "mp3", ......

add html5:true, may solve this.

html5: true worked for me.

I am using an audio recording plugin in my app, and I suspect that it is doing some kind of context switching which was making howler lose its audio.
