iOS Player - sounds works on iPad but not iPhone [SOLVED]

  We had a few issues with WAVs at some sample rates. We had to release our last game using standard 44khz Wavs on iOS. Using lower sample rates wouldn't work. I can't remember exactly, but I think they might have worked on my Air 2 but not on the iPhone 4. Either that or neither.
  
  I'd suggest trying normal CD quality 16 bit 44 khz WAVs.

  I think Gideros upscales sound files before they are played - not too sure though.

  @NatWobble thanks for the suggestion. The wav files in my game were 32 bit @ 44khz. I just tried converting them to 16 bit @ 44khz but that didn't help. They still work on my iPad but not on my iPhone 5s.

  @hotbuttered I'm not sure to be honest. Maybe you could try experimenting with some different software to convert the wavs. I also had an issue with M4As when using Construct 2 in the past and doing a new batch conversion fixed the issue. I'm not sure - In theory wavs should be a bit simpler as they aren't compressed. But maybe converting them through Audacity or one of the many free audio converters might work. Other than that I'm not sure.

  Can you post links to the sound files here so someone else can test them for you?

  @SinisterSoft, sure, that would be great! The game source is at https://github.com/hotbuttered/GiBricks and the wav files are under https://github.com/hotbuttered/GiBricks/tree/master/sounds

  Gideros does this for HTML5 to overcome a Safari limitation, but I don't think it does for other platforms.

  There was a problem with Android sound and Atilim did something to fix it 8k to 11k I think?

  Update: it turns out that the Gideros iOS Player does play sounds in my game on my iPhone 5s, but only through the headphone jack. If no headphones are plugged in, there is no audio from the built in speaker.
  
  I double checked and the speaker works fine from other apps, e.g. Apple Music, Podcasts, etc. Any ideas?
  
  EDIT: The speaker works if I turn the ringer switch on Apparently the switch is behaving as Apple intends, since they want it to mute some but not all sounds: http://artoftheiphone.com/2012/02/10/basics-what-does-the-iphone-ringer-switch-mute-and-not-mute/
  
  So it's user error and not a Gideros issue. Thanks everyone
