In android, you must set the 'system - \> setOutput (FMOD\_OUTPUTTYPE\_OPENSL)'To the recording,But I need to save this recording so I want sytem - \> setOutput (FMOD\_OUTPUTTYPE\_WAVWRITER). How do you resolve the two conflicts

Hello,

In order to play and record at the same time, you will need to set your project to be using the FMOD\_OUTPUTTYPE\_OPENSL to get the playback from your game to the speakers, but then you will need a custom DSP in order to use FMOD\_OUTPUTTYPE\_WAVWRITER to capture your output.

Please see our documentation for creating custom DSPs:

I hope this helped.

Thanks,  
Richard
