Monogame 3.3 SoundEffect play Freezes

Android
1

After using Monogame 3.3 with Xamarin Android, SoundEffect.Play method freezes the game. I try to convert wav files 8bit mono, 16bit mono no changes. This error on Samsung T101 android 4.0.3 but SoundEffects works with another android device which has 4.2.2.

I don’t have this problem with Monogame 3.2. Any suggestion?

Thank you!

There has been a previous discussion in this issue on GitHub related to “Failed to get buffer bits”. It’s quite a long thread and I haven’t re-read the whole thing. It would seem to be something that is perhaps device-specific, but it’s difficult to nail down what might cause it.

This is not good news. I don’t encountered this problem previous versions of MonoGame.

The problem on ASUS TF101 tablet and 4.0.3 android version. Songs playing but soundeffects crashes the game.
