android - Playing two sounds Simutaneosly

Question

I am trying to play two sounds simutaneosly in android.I have created two MediaPlayers and am using the code below.They are currently playing one after another.Or not exactly one after another but kinda delayed into eachother.

private void playSound(){
       if (mp1 != null) {
           mp1.release(); 
        }
       if (mp2 != null) {
            mp2.release(); 
         }


        mp1 = MediaPlayer.create(this, soundArray[0]); 
        mp2 = MediaPlayer.create(this, soundArray[3]);
        mp1.start();
        mp2.start();

      }

Thanks

Answer 1

Playing two digital sounds simultaneously is as simple as summing them together (as in the real world), so you could do that yourself while filling the buffer (and have control over timing).

This could cause the amplitude to raise, so care should be taken to not surpass the numeric bounds of the array type if you don't want to cause clipping artifacts.
