             Summary: HTML5 video playback in iOS is muted by ringer switch
                 Key: CB-7708
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7708
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.5.0
         Environment: iOS 7, iOS 8
            Reporter: Sterling Nelson
            Priority: Minor


We've got a Cordova based iOS app (targeted for iOS7 and 8) that plays back
a fair amount of media content as HTML5 video.  We've been having issues
with video not playing sound for some users.  I suspect some of the issues
are related to device ringers being set to mute (which does not seem to affect 
video playback in Safari), and would like to cross these cases out.  From my 
perspective it'd be nice if behavior of the HTML5 video element in iOS WebViews 
matched its Safari behavior.  

I managed to get the behavior I would like by fiddling with the Cordova
default view controller, but I would rather not modify Cordova's controllers in 
place (in part because it seems wrong, but mostly because we'd like to be able 
to re-build our Cordova app without having to worry
about modifying library files.)

Is there currently something I should configure to have Cordova just do this 
for me? I see that the Media plugin does something similar to this, but 
couldn't find anything like it documented for video.  If this is not currently 
set-able, are there particular plans to implement (or never do so)?

We're using Cordova 3.5.0-0.2.7.  I'm happy to provide more info about the
fiddling I've done thus far.

Thanks!
