AudioFlinger could not create track, status: -12; Error creating AudioTrack

Question

I am having a problem With SoundPool as it refuses to work with my .ogg files. I am getting this error:

AudioFlinger could not create track, status: -12
 Erro         


        

Answer 1

For me status -12 was caused by specifying too many channels when I instantiate SoundPool. So it was probably just running out of memory trying to keep too many channels around.
