If you need multiple AVAudioPlayers playing at the same time, create a NSMutableDictionary. Set the key as the filename. Remove from Dictionary via Delegate Callback like so:

-(void)playSound:(NSString*)soundNum {


    NSString* path = [[NSBundle mainBundle]
                      pathForResource:soundNum ofType:@"m4a"];
    NSURL* url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];

    NSError *error = nil;
    AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer =[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:&error];

    audioPlayer.delegate = self;

    if (_dictPlayers == nil)
        _dictPlayers = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
    [_dictPlayers setObject:audioPlayer forKey:[[audioPlayer.url path] lastPathComponent]];
    [audioPlayer play];

}

-(void)audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying:(AVAudioPlayer *)player successfully:(BOOL)flag {        
   [_dictPlayers removeObjectForKey:[[player.url path] lastPathComponent]];
}
