Question

I am having two android emulators. Let’s say emulator1 and emulator2. Both these emulators are of Google API 2.1 updated. Emulator1 is always launched after wiping the previous user data. But emulator2 is launched from snapshot (i have taken the snapshot when i have first created emulator2 and using the same snapshot always).
The problem is that i am running an application which can play audio in both emulators. In both emulators audio is playing (i can see it from progress bar), but the sound is only coming from emulator1. In emulator2, progress bar is moving but no sound is coming.
I have created many emulators like emulator2 (which launches from snapshots) but in none sound is coming. But when i use a fresh emulator like emulator1 sound is always coming.

I am using snapshot of emulator for launching the emulator in a fast way.Suggest me a solution for this.

Answer 1

An important sentence on the snapshot introduction site:

This isn’t as fully tested as we’d like, but is working usefully for us so we thought it reliable enough to share.

This might be a bug in the snapshot feature.

Why do you use the snapshot anyway? Just for faster booting? As you don’t need to restart the emulator to install a new version of your app, I can’t see a real benefit of using snapshots. Especially when the feature is not fully tested.
