Streaming Audio broken in Series 80 2.0 beta2 emulator?

[mgroeber9110]

I am trying to use audio streaming (e.g. CMdaAudioOutputStream) in the Series 80 2.0 SDK beta2 - however, in the WINS emulator I get a null-pointer exception in RAWHWDEVICE whenever I try to Open() the stream.

The same happens with the AUDIO example and the Music Player application that comes with the emulator.

Is this just a fluke in my installation, or is there a bug in the S80 2.0 beta2 emulator that prevents audio playback?

Thanks for any pointers...

The same here. I've code which plays on all version of Symbian 6.1, 7.0 and 8.0, but in Series80 emulator it's crash in rawhwdevice.dll.

I use WinXP SP2.

What's going on???

Actually, I am running under XP SP2 as well - could this be the common factor?

I would find it surprising that such a bug could slip through Nokia's testing if it happened on all plaforms... :-)

Can anyone confirm that it works for them on another OS version?

Believe or not, I've found a cure.

Download Series60 SDK for Symbian 7.0, and copy the file
'epoc32\release\wins\udeb\mediaclientaudiostream.dll'
to same folder in Series80 SDK (replace it).

Now sound plays just fine!
