SimpleAudioEngine bug on Samsung Galaxy S wifi

cocos2d-x C++
#1

Hello everyone,

I have got a first version of my cocos2d game up and running on android and so far it works on the emulator and an HTC Desire but when I test it on a Samsung Galaxy S wifi (normally the same hardware as a Samsung Galaxy S without the phone capabilities) the game has issues with the SimpleAudioEngine.

Sometime some sounds do not play but the biggest problem is that it freezes on "SimpleAudioEngine::sharedEngine()>preloadEffect" or SimpleAudioEngine::sharedEngine>playBackgroundMusic .
Here is what happens when the game freezes on preloadEffect
I have a scene A where I preload 2 sounds in the init and start some music
I replace that scene by another one, scene B
In scene A onExit I unload the sounds
From scene B I go back to scene A and the game freezes on the “preloadEffect” in the init with scene B still visible and the music still running

if it can be of any use here is the log:

Has anyone had similar issues on android devices or any ideas how to solve them?

#2

Which version of cocos2dx did you test?
Could you paste a demo to reproduce the bug?

#3

Sorry I forgot to say that I updated cocos2d-X to the latest version (0.11.0) to see if that would resolve the issue.
I am currently trying to reproduce the bug with the minimum amount of code starting from the project template but so far no success.
Afterwards if still no bug, I shall try the opposite, start from my project and work down to the code that can reproduce the bug.

#4

I have managed to get my test project to not play sound any more (but not freeze) but only after it stops working in my original project.
I had to restart the device to get the sound back.

Here is the Error log :

Same issue here ! My program works perfectly on Samsung Galaxy tablet 10.1 (running Android 3.1) but get the bug “W/SoundPool(4349): sample 14 not READY” when running on Samsung S2 (running Android 2.3.3). Bug occurs with SDK 0.10.0 and 0.11.0 ; NDK r6b and r7b (didn’t try other SDK/NDK combinations).

Did you find a solution to fix this bug ?

Thanks !

#6

Sorry I have not got round to finding a solution yet and am currently concentrating my efforts on the iOS version right now.
When I get back round to it and if I find a solution or anything I will give you an update.

#7

I faced with this bug.
It starts with log messages
Sample 257 not ready
and continues with log messages like
Unable to load sample: (null)

It occurs on one of test devices - LG P500 (low end android 2.3.3)

I fixed it by calling Cocos2dxSound.end() while level loading - it itakes some time, but it fixes the problem.
