Apps Android Emulator - No sound

[QuintonHeckroth]

Hey guys,

I'm brand new to Android and this forum and was hoping someone could please help

I've been trying out some of the basic tutorials and taking snippets of code from here and there until I tried using audio, in particular

Audio and Video | Android Developers

Using the Local file method, the code compiles fine however there is no sound, at first I thought it was a problem solely with my application but it was apparent that even the emulator volume controls should be making a sound.

I tried opening the Emulator through the command prompt and noticed the 3 lines:

emulator: using winaudio audio input backend
emulator: using winaudio audio output backend
emulator: Trace file name is not set

I understand that winaudio relates to Windows Wave but is there a problem with the Trace line?

I'm running Windows 7 32-bit, if that's any use.

Any help would be massively appreciated,

Quinton

Did you ever get an answer? I have the same issue, but on Windows XP Pro.
Thanks,

A year later and still noone has posted a solution.

I am running windows 7 64 bit with latest eclipse and andoid sdk.

I have not been able to figure out how to get the emulator to make sounds.

The issue was not with the emulator not making sound ( as verified by
the fact it would not work on my device either ), but a unaccounted
problem with the SoundPool class.

I looked in the logcat and found references like "sample 1 not ready". Researching this I finally found a obscure thread in which it was mentioned that it takes some time before sound pool is ready to be used ( and therefore all sounds should be loaded well before they are used ).


I modified my playSound method to monitor the return value of the
soundPool.play(...) method call. It returns the id of the running
sound stream, or 0 if it failed ( i.e. "sample 1 not ready" ).
What I did was to put it into a loop, and when the return value of the
soundPool.play(...) method call was 0, I had the thread sleep for 1
millisecond, then try again. With this method in place, I now always
get a sound.

I have also been having this problem. The funny thing is, it USED to work.

But a few weeks ago, it stopped working.

I am just using the simplified

mMediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.Create(context, resource) followed
by the mMediaPlayer.start().

I also tried using the code for the SoundPool which was mentioned in a
previous reply. Even though I don't get any errors, and the logic works
fine, I still do not get any sound.
