Unfortunately you can't - like the name suggests, it's designed for playing sounds to be used for system alerts, where you don't need to have control over them. You can stop a sound played through AudioServicesPlaySystemSound()
by calling AudioServicesDisposeSystemSoundID()
, but this is a hacky and best avoided.
The best option for straightforward, simple control of audio playback is to use AVPlayer
, part of AVFoundation
- documentation here.
