-----------------------------
Summary: sound playback problems with media plugin on Android
KitKat (4.4)
Key: CB-5474
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5474
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Android, Plugin Media
Affects Versions: 3.1.0, 3.2.0
Environment: Android 4.4 on Nexus 5
Reporter: Frank Cox
I've developed a cross platform child's game with Cordova using the Media
plugin for sounds. The same code works on iOS (in the Apple app store as
"Hiding Hippos") and on Android in all tested versions including 2.6 on Galaxy
Player and 4.3 on Nexus 7 and 10. I does not work on Android 4.4 on Nexus 5.
I have multiple sound clips in single sound files and play each section with
code like this:
function seekPlay (from, to) {
clearTimeout(t);
s.seekTo(from);
s.play();
t = setTimeout(function () {
s.pause();
}, to);
}
There can be up to three sounds playing at the same time using separate sound
files and copies of the above code.
On Android 4.4 KitKat with Cordova 3.1.0 or 3.2.0 there are several, erratic
sound issues. Some sounds may not play at all, cut off early or play too long.
After calling the seekPlay() function once or twice, sound settles down and
works correctly. However, there may be glitches again later in the game.
As I said, the sound works correctly on all other tested Android and all recent
iOS versons.
