Hi there. I am currently designing a soundboard and I am using soundPool to play the sounds. It is working pretty well but my sounds are played as ringtone. But I want them to be played as media? How do I do that, I didn't find anything on the subject. but maybe I was just too clumsy.

I hope you can help me, Bernd

Try using AudioAttributes.USAGE_GAME.

    protected void createSoundPool() {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
        createNewSoundPool();
    } else {
        createOldSoundPool();
    }
}

@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
protected void createNewSoundPool() {
    AudioAttributes attributes = new AudioAttributes.Builder()
            .setUsage(AudioAttributes.USAGE_GAME)
            .setContentType(AudioAttributes.CONTENT_TYPE_SONIFICATION)
            .build();
    soundPool = new SoundPool.Builder()
            .setAudioAttributes(attributes)
            .setMaxStreams(MAX_STREAMS)
            .build();
}

protected void createOldSoundPool() {
    soundPool = new SoundPool(MAX_STREAMS, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, SRC_QUALITY);
}
