Getting KErrDied for CMdaAudioOutputStream

this problem is worst currently with 6680. the problem is basically that the keypad sound are interrupting the audio playing. One solution is to increase the priority on your player object, to be bigger than with the audio player used with key tones. Others would be trying to shut down the key sounds for the application, I remember seeing some posts in forum nokia discussion board about this topic , so you could look into there.

I also remember seeing some disable key clicks (or similar) function within the windows header files, which propably also would fix this problem.

Hi

I've recently done bug fixing for an application that plays streaming AMR voice through CMdaAudioOutputStream. I too had problems with interrupted sound reporting KErrDied through MaoscPlayComplete().

To prevent keytones interrupting the sound, set the sound priority to 80.  This is a good value since it means that your audio has higher priority than keytones, and so will not be interrupted, but is low enough so that more important sounds (the phone's ringer, system messages etc.) can still override.

If your audio is interrupted by higher priority sound (the battery charging dialog is a rather annoying one), then KErrDied will be reported.  There is nothing you can do except restart the audio.  I would recommend deletion of the stream and creating a completely new stream before opening and playing again.  Once the stream has died with KErrDied, it normally doesn't restart using the same stream object.

Hope that helps.

I play amr using CMdaAudioPlayerUtility. It works on emulator and E50.  But on defferent  E61 phones, some work well; some get KErrDied when pausing and playing several times.
  Is it some issues with different OS version or hardware for E61?

  Or any other suggestion?
