iOS5 openAL mute switch and volume controls

Question

I am currently using openAL for audio playback in my app and having problems with the audio responding to the mute switch and audio volume controls in iOS 5.

I have set up an audio session category for ambient sound and it operates correctly pre-iOS 5.

Has anyone had any similar problems?

Hi yes. I'm having this issue too. I've seen some people talk about adding an observer to the AVSystemController_SystemVolumeDidChangeNotification. But there have been comments that this can fail your submission to Apple. Anyone have any ideas? – Evolutionary

I ended up fixing my problem. It was related to MPMoviePlayerController messing around with openAL (still have no idea what though). I simply reactivated the openAL context after a movie and everything worked ok – Bechuanaland

Please mark this question as solved in that case – Ague

If you watch what happens when you click that button, you can see that it initially makes a request to a redirect script on www.angrybirds.com:

From there you are redirected to a secure url of the form:
