No Sound coming from Android Emulator

Question

I ran my application and I can't get the sound working on the Android Emulator. I checked and enabled the audio playback boolean in the Eclipse AVD Manager. I also went into the sound options in the Android Emulator and put them up (no sound while putting them up). I checked the box that says all selections will make a noise(still no sound).

My application uses the MediaPlayer class and I am running win7 x64 if that has anything to do with it.

Help is appreciated.

Really dumb but for some reason focusing on the Android Virtual Devices window worked for me (and nearly gave me a heart attack) — Ryker, Apr 27 '22 at 21:47

For OS X the Android Emulator uses the settings for "Sound Effects" so this is what I had to do to fix my issue:

Click the Apple icon in the top left, then click on System Preferences
Click on Sound
Click on "Sound Effects"
Set "Play sound effects through" to "Selected sound output device"
Set the Alert volume almost at max.

Somehow this had changed to use my monitors instead.

Do this settings *before* you start your avd. – einsA Nov 30 '16 at 15:47
Where is System Preferences? Is that in the emulator or somewhere Android Studio? – The Unknown Dev Mar 11 '17 at 03:29
It is located under the Apple menu in the top left. I updated my answer to clarify. – Torre Lasley Mar 16 '17 at 05:24

All my sound settings were already at max (even the ones described in this answer) for months, even restarting my mac and the emulator (even using new ones) and restarting android studio, the media sound in the emulator is still mute or almost inaudible... – Isan Campos Jan 20 '21 at 20:04

In Ubuntu 16.04, start the emulator and go to the Ubuntu → System Settings → Sound → Applications. Uncheck the mute checkbox and set the cursor at the middle position.

I am on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and I didn't have qemu-system-x86_64 at all. The cause appeared to be in Android Studio - the one installed from Snap was having this problem. When I downloaded it and ran the downloaded version - only then I had qemu... in pulseaudio GUI and had sound from emulator. – pesho hristov Feb 11 '21 at 18:38

The solution on Ubuntu 16.04 consists in going to the System Settings → Sound → Application tab.

Then, unmute the Qemu-system … and increase the volume

Where is this screen in Ubuntu 20? I don't see Qemu system anywhere in the System/Settings/Sound screen. – A.W. Oct 28 '20 at 18:39

For those who are lost, try to run emulator from cmd, like -> ./emulator -avd my_emulator_name. This Qemu System will show in sound settings. – lubrum Jun 22 '21 at 17:52
In my case, everything in Application was unmuted already. I solved it by selecting the correct output in the tab "Output" instead. – ph_0 Apr 15 '23 at 10:05

What happens if qemu-system.* doesn't show up in your Sound-->Applications settings? – DevOpsSauce Dec 13 '20 at 16:46
I don´t know what operative system are you currently using. I thing qemu-system should send the sound to some audio driver. – moralejaSinCuentoNiProverbio Dec 14 '20 at 17:13

Sadly I did not. Just testing on a real device for sounds for now. – DevOpsSauce Dec 18 '20 at 16:17
Try to run emulator from command line, like: -> ./emulator -avd emulator_name. It worked in Ubuntu 20.04. – lubrum Jun 22 '21 at 17:53

I had the same problem : in a terminal, type pavucontrol (when emulator is running) and another application using sound, that works, is running too (on pause).

Check if quemu-system and the other application use the same soundcard... In my case, this was the problem :quemu system was using a non working internal soundcard.

Try pressing F6. I had a hard time to figuring this out.

You should at least explain what this is intended to do. – The Unknown Dev Mar 11 '17 at 03:49
This is the only one that worked though – Red Sun Nov 08 '22 at 11:34
