Disable silent mode on iPhone?

Question

How do you disable the user from turning the phone on silent? (switching the switch on the top left of the phone?)

I want my app to always play sound no matter what the state of that switch is. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance...

iphone, how to play sound even in silent or mute mode?

Be careful about overriding the silent mode switch and playing audio. Apple may not like you doing this, depending on the context; if they don't like it, you will fail app review. Is there a good reason to play audio when in silent mode in the context of your app?

Here’s what I have done that works great!

Set all your contacts Emergency By Pass OFF! Then decide who should break through by turning the Emergency By Pass ON to those important calls you simply can’t miss; Family members like Mom and Dad.

Now your all set to use he Silent switch.
