Answer 1

The problem is in your second block of code:

The - (void) viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated method has the following line in it:

[self playSound:@"taiko_1"];

This makes it play the sound, every time that the view is shown, including being shown a second time after dismissing a different view controller.

If you only want it to play once, then you need to move it somewhere else like viewDidLoad:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [self playSound:@"taiko_1"];
}
