AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().outputVolume Not Returning Correct Volume Consistently


With the following code, I get the output volume, but it is really inconsistent - sometime it gives the same values, sometimes it is a volume change behind, despite the system volume actually changing correctly.

Any way to get this to output correct values every time?

func viewDidLoad() {
...

        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(volumeDidChange), name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "AVSystemController_SystemVolumeDidChangeNotification"), object: nil)
...

}


func volumeDidChange() {
   print("VOLUME CHANGING", AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().outputVolume)

// output while changing the volume with hardware buttons

Solution

  • Try

    import AVFoundation
    import MediaPlayer
    
    //MARK: Did Load
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
    
        /// Volume View
        let volumeView = MPVolumeView(frame: CGRect(x: 100, y: 100, width: 100, height: 100))
        volumeView.isHidden = false
        volumeView.alpha = 0.01
        view.addSubview(volumeView)
    
        /// Notification Observer
         NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.volumeDidChange(notification:)), name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "AVSystemController_SystemVolumeDidChangeNotification"), object: nil)
    }
    
    @objc func volumeDidChange(notification: NSNotification) {
        //print("VOLUME CHANGING", AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().outputVolume)
    
        let volume = notification.userInfo!["AVSystemController_AudioVolumeNotificationParameter"] as! Float
        print("Device Volume:\(volume)")
    }
    

    Your current output - Same Values getting Repeated
