Hi Subzaku,

What device are you using to play the sounds? Audio mixing (At least two players can be used to play back audio simultaneously) is supported starting from Series 40 5th edition and Series 60 3th edition devices.

You can check if your phone supports audio mixing with

System.getProperty("supports.mixing")

Hi subzaku,

Below a small code snippet how to create multiple players.

private Hashtable players = new Hashtable();	

public void addPlayer(String fileName,String type)
{
	try
	{
		InputStream is = Manager.class.getResourceAsStream(fileName);
		Player player = Manager.createPlayer(is, type);

		if(player !=null){
			player.realize();
			player.prefetch();

			players.put(fileName, player);
		}
	}
	catch (Exception ex){}
}

public void playSound(String fileName) 
{
	try 
	{
		Player player = (Player)players.get(fileName);

		if(player !=null){
			player.start();
		}
	}
	catch (Exception e) {} 
}

addPlayer("/test.wav", "audio/x-wav");
addPlayer("/test2.wav", "audio/x-wav");

playSound("/test.wav");
playSound("/test2.wav");
