Weird Performance problems with sounds

Hello guys,

I have a really weird Problem, when I run my game on Samsung Galaxys for example. The game runs very Smooth without any lag.


But when I try on my own Phone (Huawei P30 Lite) The game laggs extreme, when I encounter Monsters . . . .

#############
than I later found out, it are the Sounds . . .

I removed all the Sounds from the Beheivors, frames etc. and see it works now without any lagg.

I think its becouse I use .Wav sounds ????

I thought about convert all the sounds to .OGG , what do you think about this ?

I"m really confused right now . ..

I thank you all for the amazing Support!

best regards

This sounds vaguely familiar too me like I had the same problem once. Don't remember though the "solution" but converting too .Ogg could be it. Or perhaps checking some build settings if there is some options in how it handles sounds.

Can you tell us how long those sounds are and how many of them are in total?

I changed the .wav sounds in Fusion to OGG ( VIEW --> Dataelements )

but on my Huawei it still laggs when I hit Enemys for example (hit sounds)

I nearly tried everything and I"m rly exhausted ....

On samsungs it works very smooth I rly dont get it!

In my project their are like 70 sounds, but they are all very short, 5-17kb sounds

every sound couses a tiny short lagg on my Huawei, when 2-3 enemys shooting for examples it become nearly unplayable.......

Are these preload sounds? We have detected that some device are really slow to decode and play sounds in preload mode, (not related to our code but the OS itself)

1.- do you have another device to test there, if so can you test also in this device?

2.- can you provide me with a small apk for me to test

Also provide me with Huawei models and specs

Thank you for replying,
-----------------------------------
I figured out that it lagg happens when too many samples are simultaneously playing. yes these are preload sounds in .OGG format
I created a newer version where I deleted unecessary sounds. ----> THIS HELPED ALOT ON HUAWEI BUT NOT PERFECT YET.

1. I Tested it on 3 Samsung devices some of them are older but it worked 100% perfect without any lagg.

I use Huawei P30 Lite

i Figured out there are channels for the sounds?

would this fix it when I use different channel for the sounds?

I never used this feature before . .

yes sound is the talion of Achilles for android, some device do better than others, normally Chinese have some problem. I will test your apk with a xiaomi and let you know.

using channels is the better way to go. Them allow you as developer to have more control of the playing sounds, but if there a lot of sounds preloaded the improvement is not much since this involve memory.

so what can I do, to fix this problem for chinese devices ?

reduce the amount or preload sounds and make them less than 1 MB in WAV nottice that some of your sounds are quite big when the soundpool decode them adn convert to wav before use.

also no more that quality 3 in sound OGG.

I am making some changes in sound play form disk to see if they can be prepared without affecting fps or affecting smaller the fps as possible.
