java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot initialize effect engine for type: 0bed4300-ffffd6-11db-8f34-0002a5d5c51b Error: -3

Question

I am getting the following error in my equalizer app on Android MarshMellow, OnePlus.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com         


        

Answer 1

The global audio session 0 is deprecated and can cause problems if you pass it to the Equalizer. See details in the doc https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/audiofx/Equalizer

To get rid the above-mentioned error just use a specific audio session id. Quick example:

Equalizer equalizer = new Equalizer(0, new MediaPlayer().getAudioSessionId());

Answer 2

It seems that the reason is EFFECT_TYPE_EQUALIZER. Read this Util, I think it will be useful for you:
