Play audio from video when phone is on silent mode

I am building an application that plays certain video files. However, when the phone is on vibrate the audio still plays. Apps like youtube still play the audio form their videos when the phone is on vibrate. How can I do this? I am using avplayer to play the video. Below is my code for playing the video

_player = [[AVPlayer alloc]initWithPlayerItem:pi];
AVPlayerViewController *playerController = [[AVPlayerViewController alloc]init];
playerController.player = _player;
[self presentViewController:playerController animated:YES completion:nil];
playerController.view.frame = self.view.frame;
[_player setMuted:false];
[self addChildViewController:playerController];

Found the solution. Adding this code allows whatever video is playing to produce audio even on silent mode.

[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance]
 setCategory: AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback
 error: nil];
