I wonder if anyone can help. I use
Android 4.0.x Developer Kit
Win 7 64-bit platform
using the code specified at http://www.droidnova.com/creating-sound-effects-in-android-part-1,570.html
testing the SoundPool examples presented on the web page and my own testing using SoundPool
I am using Eclipse Version: Indigo Service Release 1 Build ID: 20110916-0149
This is problem
Upon call
SoundPool.play (int soundID, float leftVolume, float rightVolume, int priority, int loop, float rate)
when the 'int loop' is 0 (zero), then everything will be fine and the sound will play perfectly once.
However, any other value for the int loop and you get this error
Sound.Test.namespace AudioFlinger could not create a track, status: -12
Sound.Test.namespace Error creating soundtrack
This happens in the emulator as well as on my Samsung galaxy Nexus phone
I play a small sound clip, it is in the ogg file format, 140K long
I used all types of file formats, wav, mp3 and just like in any file format I use, so this is not an audio file. I need to loop a small audio file indefinitely, setting the int loop to -1 (or any other value) causes a crash.
It drives me crazy because I spent a day and a half on it.
Does anyone know what is going on?
thank you very much,
