Sound track plays in simulator but not on my device ??

App Development
1

Hello,

was hoping for some help for a small app I’m practising with ?

I have searched and searched and watched numerous “play sound youtubes” dont seem to be able to crack it ?

The App segues to another view controller and plays the sound track straight after the segue.

This works fine and plays sound in my simulator, but as soon as i try it on my device it segues to the View Controller but no sound plays ? Its as if the volume setting on the device is set to zero although I have checked all i can ? ?

Would love some help please if any suggesions ?

let index = sender.tag

            player.play()
            
            //TODO: - On completion of playing audio track on player go back to locationViewController ?
            
        }
        catch {
            print("Something went wrong")
        }
    }
