Play more sound at the same time in J2ME

[hat0203]

Hello everyone!
I'm devenloping a game in J2ME for S40 5th edition. In my game, i want to play a music in the background and sound effect when i press a key so this's a class called Sound made to play.

public class Sound extends Thread implements PlayerListener{
private Player player;
private Thread t;
public Sound(String file){

try{
InputStream is= this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(file);
String ctype=gettype(file);
player= Manager.createPlayer(is ,ctype);
player.realize();
player.prefetch();


player.addPlayerListener(this);

} catch (IOException ioe) {
} catch (MediaException me) { }
}
public void run(){
try {

player.start();
} catch (MediaException me) {}
}
public void PlayLoop(){
try {
player.setLoopCount(-1);
player.start();
} catch (MediaException me) {}
}
public void Stop(){
try {
player.stop();
} catch(MediaException me) { }
}
public void Close(){
player.close();
}
private static String gettype(String url){
String type=null;
try
{
// some simple test for the content type
if (url.endsWith("wav")) {
type = "audio/x-wav";
} else if (url.endsWith("jts")) {
type = "audio/x-tone-seq";
} else if (url.endsWith("mid")) {
type = "audio/midi";
} else {
throw new Exception("Cannot guess content type from URL: " + url);
}

}
catch(Exception e){}
return type;
}
public void playerUpdate(Player player, String string, Object o) {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet.");
}
}

I define : sound=new Sound("/backGround.wav"); and call sound.PlayLoop(); to play music in the background, it's running so well. In keypress event, i create a new thread: new Sound("/click.wav").start(); in order to play a effect music but the result isn't good. It has a silent moment bettwen two sounds. It seems the player can't play two sounds at the same time. How can i do in this situation? Please help me. Thanks for all.

Hi hat0203, Welcome to Nokia Developer Discussion Boards !!

Can you please try in the device the System Property "supports.mixing " A query for whether audio mixing is supported. The string returned is either "true" or "false". If mixing is supported, the following conditions are true:
At least two tones can be played with Manager.playTone simultaneously.
Manager.playTone can be used at the same time when at least one Player is playing back audio.
At least two Players can be used to play back audio simultaneously.

Thanks to balagopalks!
I used "System.getProperty("supports.mixing")" and got the answer is true. So what kind of this situation? The sound effect just plays several times and after that it doesn't play .

Since you got 'true' for 'supports.mixing', as I mentioned above At least two tones can be played with Manager.playTone simultaneously. Manager.playTone can be used at the same time when at least one Player is playing back audio. At least two Players can be used to play back audio simultaneously.

Is the player already in PREFETCHED state ? If the player is already in PREFETCHED state, it could help to avoid any delay to start the player.

Also make sure that you are creating the two instances for the two sounds files. Sharing the code snippets for this can be recommended.
