Sound disappears after interstitial advert...

In one of my apps, after an interstitial advert displays (Google AdMob), when the advert is over or cancelled, when I return to the game the sounds in the game no longer play.

Anybody else have a similar issue?

I believe it's a bug in Google's ad library. I'm following it up with them at the moment.

So am I right in thinking that everyone who uses interstitials has the sound crap out of their app during use, or is it just specific apps? Is it iPhone-specific or on Android too?

I’ve also noticed that once sound has dropped out, if you leave the app (not close it) and go to the home screen then go back into the app, the sound returns. This is similar to a bug I’ve posted in the bug thread where the Game Center object doesn’t run twice until you’ve gone back to the home screen and then back into the app.

Is it iPhone-specific or on Android too?

I noticed this bug in my Android game.

So I’m guessing all apps across both stores that have Google Ads installed have their sound drop out after an interstitial shows. Poor show on Google’s part.

Have you tried the latest release? We made a bug fix to work around possible audio issues when switching away from the app which might help. It was aimed at ads on iOS which was the specific issue being reported (including in this thread), but the workaround is actually active on all platforms.

Yeah, to my knowledge I'm running the Latest release. What’s the current version number?

The website tells you. Currently it's r202.
