Play an audio file using Swift for MacOS

1.4k views Asked by At

I'm trying to simply play a file (in the main bundle or on the disk) using AVAudioFile, AVAudioEngine and AVAudioPlayerNode.

Here is what I'm doing:

import Foundation
import AppKit
import AudioToolbox
import AVFoundation

struct readFile {
    static var arrayFloatValues:[Float] = []
    static var points:[CGFloat] = []
}

class AudioAnalisys : NSObject {

class func open_audiofile() {
    let audioEngine: AVAudioEngine = AVAudioEngine()
    let audioPlayer: AVAudioPlayerNode = AVAudioPlayerNode()

    //get where the file is
    let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "TeamPlaylist", withExtension: "mp3")
    //put it in an AVAudioFile
    let audioFile = try! AVAudioFile(forReading: url!)
    //Get the audio file format
    //let format = AVAudioFormat(commonFormat: .pcmFormatFloat32, sampleRate: file.fileFormat.sampleRate, channels: file.fileFormat.channelCount, interleaved: false)
    let audioFormat = audioFile.processingFormat
    let audioFrameCount = UInt32(audioFile.length)
    //how many channels?
    print(audioFile.fileFormat.channelCount)
    print(audioFrameCount)
    //Setup the buffer for audio data
    let audioFileBuffer = AVAudioPCMBuffer(pcmFormat: audioFormat, frameCapacity: UInt32(audioFile.length))
    //put audio data in the buffer
    try! audioFile.read(into: audioFileBuffer!)
    //readFile.arrayFloatValues = Array(UnsafeBufferPointer(start: audioFileBuffer!.floatChannelData?[0], count:Int(audioFileBuffer!.frameLength)))

    //Init engine and player
    let mainMixer = audioEngine.mainMixerNode
    audioEngine.attach(audioPlayer)
    audioEngine.connect(audioPlayer, to:mainMixer, format: audioFileBuffer!.format)
    audioPlayer.scheduleBuffer(audioFileBuffer!, completionHandler: nil)
    audioEngine.prepare()
    do {
        try audioEngine.start()
        print("engine started")
    } catch let error {
        print(error.localizedDescription)
    }
    audioPlayer.play()

    }
}

I can see the channel count, the FrameCount. I can't hear anything. What am I doing wrong? Here is what I get in the console:

here is the answer: Can't play file from documents in AVAudioPlayer

which leads to:

 import Foundation
 import AppKit
 import AudioToolbox
 import AVFoundation

 struct readFile {
    static var arrayFloatValues:[Float] = []
    static var points:[CGFloat] = []
 }

let audioEngine: AVAudioEngine = AVAudioEngine()
let audioPlayer: AVAudioPlayerNode = AVAudioPlayerNode()

class AudioAnalisys : NSObject {

class func open_audiofile() {
    //get where the file is
    let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "TeamPlaylist", withExtension: "mp3")
    //put it in an AVAudioFile
    let audioFile = try! AVAudioFile(forReading: url!)
    //Get the audio file format
    //let format = AVAudioFormat(commonFormat: .pcmFormatFloat32, sampleRate: file.fileFormat.sampleRate, channels: file.fileFormat.channelCount, interleaved: false)
    let audioFormat = audioFile.processingFormat
    let audioFrameCount = UInt32(audioFile.length)
    //how many channels?
    print(audioFile.fileFormat.channelCount)
    print(audioFrameCount)
    //Setup the buffer for audio data
    let audioFileBuffer = AVAudioPCMBuffer(pcmFormat: audioFormat, frameCapacity: UInt32(audioFile.length))
    //put audio data in the buffer
    try! audioFile.read(into: audioFileBuffer!)
    //readFile.arrayFloatValues = Array(UnsafeBufferPointer(start: audioFileBuffer!.floatChannelData?[0], count:Int(audioFileBuffer!.frameLength)))

    //Init engine and player
    let mainMixer = audioEngine.mainMixerNode
    audioEngine.attach(audioPlayer)
    audioEngine.connect(audioPlayer, to:mainMixer, format: audioFileBuffer!.format)
    audioPlayer.scheduleBuffer(audioFileBuffer!, completionHandler: nil)
    audioEngine.prepare()
    do {
        try audioEngine.start()
        print("engine started")
    } catch let error {
        print(error.localizedDescription)
    }
    audioPlayer.play()

   }
}
