Lags while playing 2 sounds on the same time in timer

问题

I have a small app that basically sets up a timer and plays sets of 2 sounds one after another.

I've tried 2 timers, because I wanted both sounds to start exactly at the same time each time. I gave the app 500ms for setting both timers before they start

    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    Date start = new Date(cal.getTime().getTime() + 500);

    timerTask1 = new TimerTask() { //1st timer
      @Override
      public void run() {
          soundManager.playSound(1);
      }
    };
    timer1 = new Timer();
    timer1.schedule(timerTask1, start, 550);


    timerTask2 = new TimerTask() { //2nd timer
      @Override
      public void run() {
          soundManager.playSound(2);
      }
    };
    timer2 = new Timer();
    timer2.schedule(timerTask2, start, 550);
}

soundManager is a SoundManager object which is based on this tutorial. Thew only change I've made was decreasing number of avalible streams from 20 to 2 since I play only 2 sounds at the same time.

Now the problem. It's not playing at the equal rate neither on my Motorola RAZR or the emulator. The app slows sometimes, making a longer brake than desired. I can't let that happen. What could be wrong here?

I'm using very short sounds in OGG format

EDIT: I've made some research. Used 2 aproaches. I was measuring milisecond distances between sound was fired. Refresh rate was 500 ms.

1st aproach was TimerTask - it is a big fail. It started at 300ms, then was constantly growing, and after some time (2 mins) stabilized at 497ms which would be just fine if it started as that.
2nd aproach was while loop on AsyncTask - it was giving me outputs from 475 to 500ms which is better than TimerTask but still inaccurate

At the end none of aproach was playing smoothly. There were always lags

I know it may be a little too much, but you could try a different implementation of SoundPool:

public class Sound {
    SoundPool soundPool;
    int soundID;

    public Sound(SoundPool soundPool, int soundID) {
        this.soundPool = soundPool;
        this.soundID = soundID;
    }

    public void play(float volume) {
        soundPool.play(soundID, volume, volume, 0, 0, 1);
    }

    public void dispose() {
        soundPool.unload(soundID);
    }
}

To use it you can do something like this:

SoundPool soundPool = new SoundPool(20, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0);
AssetFileDescriptor assetFileDescriptor = activity.getAssets().openFd(fileName);
int soundID = soundPool.load(assetFileDescriptor, 0);

Sound sound = new Sound(soundPool, soundID);

And then play:

sound.play(volume);

P.S. If the problem persists even with this code, post a comment and I'll get back to you.

回答2:

Are you using SoundPool? It is quicker than MediaPlayer. The best chance of getting the two sounds together is when playing them on the same thread.
