Hi. Just downloaded the Xamarin tooling for Visual Studio by checking the relevant box in the VS Installer.
I have installed v26.1.1 of the Android SDK Tools (they were installed with the tooling).
I've created 2 emulators (one based on a Nexus and the other a Pixel).
Neither of them work with a basic, Xamarin (Android) project.
For the Pixel, the error message is :
dsound: Reason: No sound driver is available for use, or the given GUID is not a valid DirectSound device ID
1>------ Build started: Project: EmulatorTest, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
dsound: Attempt to initialize voice without DirectSoundCapture object
dsound: Attempt to initialize voice without DirectSoundCapture object
audio: Failed to create voice goldfish_audio_in' C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\emulator\qemu\windows-x86_64\qemu-system-x86_64.exe: warning: opening audio input failed dsound: Attempt to initialize voice without DirectSoundCapture object dsound: Attempt to initialize voice without DirectSoundCapture object audio: Failed to create voice adc'
dsound: Attempt to initialize voice without DirectSoundCapture object
dsound: Attempt to initialize voice without DirectSoundCapture object
audio: Failed to create voice `adc'
For the nexus, the emulator spun up, but the debugger had exited.
I noticed the following message:
Couldn't connect debugger. You can see more details in Xamarin Diagnostic output and the full exception on logs.
Not sure what logs that is referring to.
Any idea why this doesn't "just work"?
