Test Audio Capabilities

[Joseph Roberts]

I am trying to test the audio abilities of icenium/cordova, but I can't get the simulator to play any sound.  I have read that mp3 is not allowed due to codecs and licensing, but I have read that ogg should be possible as it's bungled with the simulator.  Is it possible to get sound to work?  I am trying to used the example application, but have used an ogg file and still I get no sound.  

Thanks,
Joe

Hello Joe,

The audio sample we ship is using the Cordova API, which is not supported in the simulator out of the box and currently we have not made the required changes for it to work in the simulators.

As HTML5 defines a new element which specifies a standard way to embed an audio file on a web page, the <audio> element, we suggest giving it a try. Ogg files in this case should work in our simulators.

Kind regards,

Ok, I put an <audio> tag with on source...

<audio>
            <source id="audio-success" src="audio/success.ogg" type="audio/ogg;codecs='vorbis'"/>
        </audio>

When I try to reference the Audio javascript class I get "Audio is not defined" in the console.  I'm not sure how I can play this file if the HTML5 audio components don't seem to be there.  Maybe I just don't know what I'm doing, but it seems simple to me.  

Thanks,
Joe

Ok, I just noticed that audio is not supported under Graphite, but it is under Mist.  I will try again there. 

Thanks,
Joe
