MK808 bootsound/bootanimation

[screwgauge]

Hello,

I wanted to enable bootsounds along with bootanimation on my MK808. I modified the bootanimation sources to play an mp3 using OpenSLES. Unfortunately, there is no audio produced while the boot animation shows up on the screen. When I re-run the bootanimation binary after the system has finished booting (i.e. it is at the launcher screen), the audio plays fine. Even if I do stop/start after the system is booted, the audio plays fine.

I also tried using stagefright -a -o audio_file.ogg in my init.rc, but it has the same problem. No audio is produced till the system boot up completes.

Does anyone know what could be wrong? Is there a ROM with boot sounds?

Thanks

On Rockchip devices, audio hardware is not initialized early in boot like other devices. Thus you cant get a boot sound.

Thanks Bob. That is what I suspected. Is it easy to move that initializing to early boot? What would it involve? If you could provide some hints, I can try and hack it.

Thanks

I have never tried to do that so I have no idea. It would have to be early in init.rc

By the way, you did try to put a file bootsound.oog in /media/sounds or /media?
Also I think it has to be a proper oog and not a MP3.
