No, they should be real RAW 16bit PCM values. If you aren't getting values that make sense at just 16 bit shorts, then you have something else wrong in your code. Make sure you are not casting weird or anything like that. -niko On Jul 7, 12:53 pm, jdarladimas wrote: > Hello Developers, > > In an

Welcome to android's audio stack. It has a latency of at least 90-100ms no matter what. The lower the quality of sound, and having it be mono and not stereo, will shorten the latency. But it is never going to approach iPhone latency levels at this time. -nik On May 17, 5:43 am, neha wrote: > Hii
