What format of your BG sound file is?
Does this sound file get played on E66, N73 without camera recording operation?

Have you really checked the profile of these handsets not to set as silent?
(Just to be confirmed as Sometimes the silent profile turns out into a joke with multimedia))



Thanks,

my sound files are of .wav format. and they get played on E66, N73 without camera recording operation. and i checked the profile of these handsets and i know that keeping in silent mode creates problem in MMAPI. while testing my mobiles were not on silent mode.

Hard to say at this point about what exactly is happening with that wav file playing while video recording operation. I believe some sort of exception would be generated in playing the wav file with recording operation. Please try to trace it out. Also, for these handsets, try to perform these two operation in separate threads and try to use another format of sound also like amr, mp3 etc. I can only suggest you the ways as I never faced this problem.





Thanks,

following is the function which i am using

public void startController()
{
//code for waiting a few seconds

recording = new RecordCamera(); // this is a thread which records video
recording.start(); // starts recorder thread

// code for waiting a few seconds
playSound(); // play sound file
}

i start another thread which call this function as follows


new Thread()
{
public void run()
{
try
{
startController();
}
catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}.start();


is this ok?

i got some details about the problem. if i start two separate thread, one for video recording and one for audio playing, then the audio is played as early as i stop the recording. during the vidoe recording it is not played. but whenever the video recording is completed, then the audio sound is played. does this information rings any bell? i want help on this topic. someone please help me.

From the description, it seems that on these devices only one Multimedia operation can be performed either video recording or playing audio. I am not sure, but it might be the device issue.
