AudioFlinger could not create track, status: -12 | when looping a sound effect

cocos2d-x C++
#1

This happens when I try to loop a sound effect, only on Android though. I’m using the latest stable version, (2.0-2.0.2 or something…just released yesterday).

I’m playing OGG files, I’ve tried variable length encoding and constant encoding, neither work. I can’t seem to find anything about this, and I know it worked before (with the beta version)…

How do I fix it?

EDIT:
Strangely enough, it works exactly half of the time. I go into the scene, the sound plays/loops fine. I go to a new scene and back to the first one and it doesn’t work. If I go to another scene and back again, it works.

Also, the sound plays fine without looping. It’s only looping that doesn’t work.

Could you attach the audio file to help us to reproduce it?

我也遇到这个问题了，我英文比较菜，就直接用中文给你描述一下。

场景是飞机在画面上飞，播放飞行的音效。
因为要循环播放这个音效，所以设置loop为true

void AudioManager::playFly(){
m_flyId = SimpleAudioEngine::sharedEngine()->playEffect(SOUND_FLY, true);
}

飞机停止时，关闭这个音效

void AudioManager::stopFly(){
//SimpleAudioEngine::sharedEngine()->stopAllEffects();
SimpleAudioEngine::sharedEngine()~~>stopEffect;
}
到目前为止都ok
这时飞机再起飞，第二次执行playFly。在其他平台都ok，在android上就没声，程序不会崩，但是后台打印error

09-04 22:26:12.451: E/SoundPool(7215): Error creating AudioTrack

应该跟音乐文件的格式是无关，换了ogg一样现象。

如果最初播放不设置loop，就ok

So the issue is that:

  1. play an effect with loop mode
  2. stop the effect
  3. play the effect again
    Then can not play the effect.

Right?

#6

Yes. I think it’s an issue with the actual sound file, because when I reencoded from the source (wav -> ogg) it worked fine, no trimming or anything needed.

I attached the OGG that was causing problems.

#7

yes，the issue only in android

@Sam Borenstein
What’s your meaning?
Did you mean you resolve it only change the file format to ogg?
But you attach an ogg file.

#9

No, the format was ogg before. I’m not sure how I fixed it exactly, but I opened it in audacity, and reexported it and it started working. I don’t know why.

I attached the ogg in reply to:

the final solution was to open the mp3 in an audio editor and re-edit it with slightly lesser quality so that the file is now smaller, and doesn’t seem to take up quite as many resources in the system. from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11964623/audioflinger-could-not-create-track-status-12?answertab=votes#tab-top.
简单地说,就是压缩音效文件
