Playing sounds simultaneously Android

Question

I am creating a game on Android and I have kind of put this problem off for a while, and am now just coming back to it. In my game I have a background beat, gun sounds, expl

Answer 1

Well I did end up figuring this out in case anyone else wants to know. The problem wasn't that it couldn't play more than one sound at a time it was that it was only able to play 4 sounds at a time which gave me the impression that sounds were stopping and starting. In the constructor this line

mSoundPool = new SoundPool(4, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0);

needed to be changed to allow more streams to play at the same time. So by changing the first argument from a 4 to say, a 20, you could then play 20 sounds at the same time. The game sounds much better now haha. Hope this helps someone.
