Problem with CAudioEqualizerUtility::NewL

[pls125]

Hello everybody!
I stick to a real problem with CAudioEqualizerUtility::NewL(*iMdaAudioPlayerUtility). [I use Symbian Belle N8 device with the latest firmware and latest QT SDK]

Actually I have a really simple code like this:

iAudioOutputStream = NULL;
iMdaAudioPlayerUtility = NULL;
iMdaAudioPlayerUtility = CMdaAudioPlayerUtility::NewL(myCallBack); //this woks fine - i've got a true handler to the object

//the next line crashes completely!! - app just got crashed... I tryied everything, but nothing helps...
if (iMdaAudioPlayerUtility) iAudioEqualizerUtility = CAudioEqualizerUtility::NewL(*iMdaAudioPlayerUtility);

if I use
TRAPD(err,
iAudioEqualizerUtility = CAudioEqualizerUtility::NewL(*iMdaAudioPlayerUtility);
);
if (err == KErrNoMemory) User::Exit(KErrNoMemory);

the err returns KErrNotFound. What does it means? And what can I do to solve the issue? Thank you very much!!
I'll really appreciate you help!!

Not sure if it can help but you may try replacing CMdaAudioPlayerUtility::NewL() with CMdaAudioPlayerUtility::NewFilePlayerL()

[pls125]

well, actually I've tryied, but result is the same. I've also tryied it with MdaOutputStream and NewL goest Ok for CAudioEqualizerUtility, but crashes when I try to create new Equalizer...
So it seems like a general problem with memory, but I don't have any idea where to go.. Actually I made a simple project with only this "5 lines" and still have the problem. Probably something wrong with the device??

you may also try testing it on some lower version of Symbian OS device then Belle to see if its a OS version issue or else.

An example app is also here in wiki, you may try running it to see if the problem persists in it as well : http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...B_audio_player

unfortunatelly i don't have another device currently... (
will try to get one...

Two things you may find useful:
- here is how you can enable the error messages on the device: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...ded_panic_code
- you can actually test your code on a large number of devices, via RDA (Remote device access in "Devices" panel above, direct link: http://rda.cellulardata.com/)

KErrNotFound already mentioned in #1.

EDIT: that is not a crash code...

Yes, I know. Just based on that "if (err == KErrNoMemory) User::Exit(KErrNoMemory);", pls125 might have chosen some tedious way for checking the error code. Keeping the messages enabled may simplify such TRAP-s and checks.

Well, I'm completely confused and it seems that I'm a totally misunderstand something... but I can't solve the issue still. Actually I've tryied other phones and got the same results.
So I've made absolutely simple code as following and it crushes at CAudioEqualizerUtility::NewL step:

mainwindow.h

#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H

#include <QMainWindow>

#include <AudioEqualizerUtility.h>
#include <AudioEqualizerBase.h>
#include <mdaaudiosampleplayer.h>

class FMMdaAudioPlayerCallback: public MMdaAudioPlayerCallback
{
public:
void MapcInitComplete ( TInt aError,
const TTimeIntervalMicroSeconds & aDuration
) {}
void MapcPlayComplete ( TInt aError )
{}
}
;


namespace Ui {
class MainWindow;
}

class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
~MainWindow();

private:
Ui::MainWindow *ui;


FMMdaAudioPlayerCallback myCallBack;
CMdaAudioPlayerUtility* iMdaAudioPlayerUtility;
CAudioEqualizerUtility* iAudioEqualizerUtility;
};

#endif // MAINWINDOW_H

mainwindow.cpp

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);

iMdaAudioPlayerUtility = NULL;
iMdaAudioPlayerUtility = CMdaAudioPlayerUtility::NewL(myCallBack);
iAudioEqualizerUtility = NULL;
if (!iAudioEqualizerUtility)
iAudioEqualizerUtility = CAudioEqualizerUtility::NewL(*iMdaAudioPlayerUtility);
//the program exit at this point
CAudioEqualizer *iAudioEqualizer;
iAudioEqualizer = iAudioEqualizerUtility->Equalizer().NewL(*iMdaAudioPlayerUtility);
int NumberOfBands = iAudioEqualizer->NumberOfBands();
if (NumberOfBands>0) {
if (NumberOfBands>0) {
..............
}
}
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
delete ui;
}

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include "mainwindow.h"

main.cpp

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow w;
#if defined(Q_WS_S60)
w.showMaximized();
#else
w.show();
#endif

return a.exec();
}

Where is the problem could be?
Thank you in advance! I really appreciate your help!

Just a guess ...

you're using the CMdaAudioPlayerUtility::NewL which doesn't specify a file to be played/used. It may be that the CAudioEqualizerUtility does some check on the existence of the file to be played which would be consistent with the KErrNotFound ( This is effectively what Vineet is suggesting)

You might want to compare your code to this: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...B_audio_player

Thank for the input. Sure, I've studied this article many times ). Actually if I use NewFilePlayerL the AudioEqualizerUtility initiates without any issues, BUT AudioEqualizerUtility->Presets().Count() returns zero. Is that Ok? I can see some default presets in the embedded Audio Player...
Futhermore I try to create a new preset using AudioEqualizer = AudioEqualizerUtility->Equalizer().NewL and it works Ok. But whe I try to get frequency by AudioEqualizer->CenterFrequency(...) - it crushes again... (

[hamishwillee]

This is not an API I've ever used, so the "general answer" is
1. So given that NewFilePlayerL works you could try the New version but set the file to play to verify the cause of your previous crash.
2. If I were you I'd be trying the existing example code - extending it where necessary. So for example if AudioEqualizerUtility->Presets().Count() returns zero on the example that is probably "OK". Does AudioEqualizer->CenterFrequency(...) work on the example code (and if not, search on this)

Implementations involving the output stream could be useful:
// TRAPD(err, iAudioEffect = CAudioEqualizer::NewL(*iOutputStream))
