Losing sound effects when iPad is set to sleep

cesar_m_romero

Something strange is happening... if during gameplay I turn the iPad to sleep (with the top button) and then just turn it back on the music will keep playing perfectly but all sound effects are gone, gone everywhere in the game... any ideas?

This is happening when I transfer the game from GameSalad to the device. I already rebooted the iPad and it happens every time.

Hail, Cesar!

I just tried it with the adhoc build of .Matrixx, and you're right, if you put it to sleep the sounds disappear when you get back to the game.

I also just tried it with the iPad version of Gravitrixx (another of my games but this one's actually published) and I couldn't replicate the issue.

I'll try it out on Friday with the published version of .Matrixx - if the issue's there, it'll mean something that GS has changed has caused this.

If it's not there, then we can chalk it down to 'one of those things while a game's in development and not something to worry about as it sorts itself out'

Cheers,

Hello;
This is happening with an iPad game that I just recently had approved on the App Store - Explore with Farmer Jon. Some of my testers noticed the sound fx would disappear, but they could not replicate it. I just tested my published version, and it does as described! The iPod/iPhone version does NOT suffer from this.

So, Unfortunately, this does not "sort itself out."

Thanks for discovering this. I am sure a solution will be discovered after enough of us submit bug reports.

Note: If the home button is pressed and the game is then returned to ( without a restart) - the sound returns. This pattern can be repeated.

Ok I posted this problem in the Tech Support section. Hope the good GameSalad guys take a look.

quantumsheep: I hope your game is bug free... you never know, good things do happen now and then

GreenHavenGames: Thanks for checking it out! The more people that report the same problem the merrier we'll be if it's fixed soon.
