My game engine is using fmod library for sound functions. After testing the project on different android phone, i found that fmod is working correctly for android 2.2 and above but not on android 2.1. I observed that example project's manifest file mention minimum sdk version 8 (android 2.2). My client want game to able to play from android 2.1 and above. And one more strange observations, when i install and run game on android 2.1 phone, my app terminate automatically but when i run my game on android 2.1 emulator, my game work correctly, except that sound is muted, i.e. , inaudible. This is error message i got when run on android 2.1 hardware :
FMOD error! (48) Tried to use a feature that requires hardware support. (ie trying to play a GCADPCM compressed sound in software on Wii).
Please help me by answering these questions :
1> Is it true fmod can't work on android 2.1? if not, can you suggest how to run it.
2> Any alternate solution for sound to work on android 2.1 and above?
Thanks in advance.
Its seems fmod support all android versions. The message :
FMOD error! (48) Tried to use a feature that requires hardware support. (ie trying to play a GCADPCM compressed sound in software on Wii).
is caused due to hardware not supported for floating point calculations. Here is the details.
