i'm trying to play audio file with AVAudioPlayer with this code:

    let urlString = "http://192.168.1.19:8080/download/2"
    let url = URL(string: urlString)!
    print("the url = \(url)")

    do {
        let data = try Data.init(contentsOf: url)
        self.audioPlayer = try AVAudioPlayer.init(data: data)
        self.audioPlayer.prepareToPlay()

        self.audioPlayer.play()
    } catch {
        print("couldn't load file")
    }

audio format is Ogg Vorbis (.ogg) and it always failed to load. Any solution to play this .ogg file ?

that answer is deprecated, link can't be open and it has been 5 years, even before Swift release date – calvin sugianto
All the links work for me, though you'll likely not want to use the precompiled frameworks behind the "Precompiled Ogg Vorbis Libraries for iOS" link, as those are old. The final link to the GitHub project contains updated versions, however. Note that it is supported to bridge Objective-C code into Swift – Michael Hulet
I wasnt able to reproduce a .ogg file (maybe it is not supported) so I had to convert it to mp3 (ffmpeg pretty good tool to deal with media files). – rgkobashi

Try This:

import AVFoundation
var player: AVAudioPlayer!



func playSound(){
    let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "what_is_the_name_of_the_file", withExtension: "what_is_the_format_of_your_file")
        player = try! AVAudioPlayer(contentsOf: url!)
        player.play()
    }

And then call this function where needed
