[android-developers] Re: Odp: SoundPool and DualCore (Samsung Galaxy S2) : Random Crashes ingame
Daniel, can you confirm the crashes are gone with your workaround (two months ago from your post)? Thanks!

Re: [android-developers] Re: Odp: SoundPool and DualCore (Samsung Galaxy S2) : Random Crashes ingame
can you provide the build fingerprint of the device you are testing and being able to reproduce ? Also code snippet will be helpful ... -Dan On Sat, Jul 16, 2011 at 9:53 PM, Daniel daniel.ge.sm...@gmail.com wrote: I have been getting reports of S2 crashes too... and based on this thread, and since i use SoundPool extensively, i'm pretty confident at this point that it is the cause. Has anyone been able to try native OpenSL ES audio, and seen better results? (Haven't got round to setting all that up yet since 2.3 adoption has been pretty slow). I guess it will depend on whether the problem is with SoundPool specifically or the lower level drivers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

* switching to mp3 96k PCM didn't help * reduce max Streams to 8 didn't help -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

You may try to set even lower max streams value (like 4). This is basically trial and error - I've tested several combination of codecs and streams count (eg. raw mono pcm worked fine in my case but they are huge). Make sure you test on orginal samsung galaxy with 2.3 firmware as it tend to have similar problems. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I set number of max stream to 5 and play wav files, the crash probability is very low. About it crashes about once in one hour.

By setting max streams to 4-5 there isn't really the point even use Soundpool anymore. Instead you can create 16 mediaplayers and play your soundfiles there. So up to know there is no real stable workaround for me. A SoundPool with 4 max Streams isn't a Soundpool anymore. In my game there are a lot more then 4 parallel sounds, so by limiting the max Streams to 4 I would lower the game quality significant. Maybe I have to write a MediaPlayer Pool as Workaround, we'll see. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
