I bought one of these devices to test on. I should note that sound worked fine with Android 8 (oreo) and stopped working with the phone updated to Android 9.1 (Pie). Here’s the log output at the call to Studio’s Initialize: > I/fmod: System::create : Header version = 1.08.14. Current version = 1.08.14. > I/fmod: FMOD::supportsLowLatency : Low latency = false, Pro Audio = false, Acceptable Block Size = true (960) > I/fmod: SystemI::init : FMOD Studio Version: 00010814 (80900) > I/fmod: SystemI::init : maxchannels = 512, flags = 00030004, extradriverdata = 0x0 > I/fmod: SystemI::close : > I/fmod: SystemI::close : Stop all sounds > I/fmod: SystemI::close : done. > E/fmod: FMOD\_OS\_Init : Could not detect floating point hardware, cannot continue. > I/fmod: LiveUpdate::release : > I/fmod: LiveUpdate::reset : Reset connection (reason Disconnected) > E/FMOD: soun\_fmod.cpp(106): FMOD error 41 - Tried to use a feature that requires hardware support. I also found this thread which seems to be the same issue though I’m not sure what “flags and checks” you were referring to then.
