Firstly can you check all your API calls return FMOD\_OK?
Secondly, can you share more of your code so we can see what else you are doing?
Also, have you checked our examples? Particularly the load\_bank example?
It might show you what’s wrong with your usage.

I get the error in android, but not necessarily, then it will crash!!

Incorrect alignment will not cause a crash, it will return an error. Alignment is only required if you are using FMOD\_STUDIO\_LOAD\_MEMORY\_POINT. If you are using that flag, ensure you aren’t freeing the memory you pass to FMOD until after you unload the bank (that will cause a crash).
Could you link with the logging “L” version of FMOD to get more information in LogCat?
Also, could you confirm you are checking the FMOD\_RESULT from all API calls?
Finally, do you experience any crash when using the example code?

We haven’t run example code in android.
We link with the debug version，we’ll let you know if we have any results.
By the way，we call FMOD API in native thread
Thank you for your help.

hi mathew :
We link with the debug versio, we get a lot of message, but I am not sure it’s right:

I’m seeing a lot of sounds being released, which sounds like you are unloading banks? The “null” you highlight isn’t a concern, it just means the name of the sound was missing.
I feel like before all these release logs there might be an error causing the system to shutdown, unless you are unloading or shutting down yourself? Can you provide the full log? If it’s too long consider calling FMOD::Debug\_Initialize(FMOD\_DEBUG\_LEVEL\_WARNING) to limit output to warnings and errors.
Can you confirm you aren’t receiving any errors from API calls?

Yes,I unload banks at event instance be call back (FMOD\_STUDIO\_EVENT\_CALLBACK\_STOPPED)
load bank before create event instance.
sometimes，it will return FMOD\_ERR\_EVENT\_NOTFOUND

It’s best to avoid unloading banks from the EventInstance stopped callback, it looks like there is some potential for crash if doing that. Do you still have issue if you don’t do that?

I think I know what caused the crash. I unload the bank，then reload it at once. The state of bank is FMOD\_STUDIO\_LOADING\_STATE\_UNLOADING, rather than FMOD\_STUDIO\_LOADING\_STATE\_UNLOADED.
it could cause a crash. Let me test it again.
Thank you very much!
