   I've been working with the Denshion sound and it played fine on my iPhone but never worked in the simulator. This was acceptable.

   Then I moved some of the sound code around to streamline and organize my code a bit better and found that suddenly the sound worked on the simulator!

   but ... now it won't play on my iPhone.

   Does anyone know why this might happen?

   I found the problem!

   If you have the phone ring turned off Denshion doesn't play.
   I didn't know that.

   Man, if this is the cause of a problem some of my users have been having, I'm eternally grateful. (Some complete random users of various devices seem to have this issue.)

   Gonna ask a friend to check it up (don't have an iPhone myself).

   My friend confirms this is true. Is it really supposed to be like this? I'm not entirely sure this is THE problem my users have been having, but if it is... They claim other apps work just fine with sound, but not mine. Is this an old issue? Does upgrading denshion solve this problem? Why should having the ringer turned off affect the sound in the app?

   Its nothing to do with CocosDenshion it is an audio session issue. The behaviour with regard to the mute switch is entirely dependent on what audio session category you use as is well documented by Apple. For example if you set the audio manager mode of CDAudioManager to MediaPlayback then the device mute switch is ignored, this is why the iPod app plays even if the device is hardware muted.
