android-discuss, some audio problems

 dear all,

I've been writing a game and need to play an audio effect with some
event trigged,
and i use MediaPlayer class and mp3 source files to implement it.

i first create the MediaPlayer instance in the constructor and invoke
play() when the event is trigged.

but it happened again oftentimes to show the warning message in the
DDMS

obtainBuffer timed out (is CPU pegged?) user=00000101, server=00000001
write blocked for XX msecs

these two message,  the sound would still played, but delayed, so the
sound and visual  effect won't synchronized.

please give some commons to help, thanks!

 It's likely that the CPU is saturated and can't keep up with audio. If
you have a choice, I suggest using OGG files because there is less
overhead involved in playing them.



--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~

 For games use small, low bitrate OGGs with SoundPool.

 SoundPool is not recommended in 1.0. There are deadlock issues that
can cause your app thread to lock up.

 thanks a lot, I'll keep trying with that stuff!
