AudioZero: program stops after playing about 5 to 8 .WAV files

[selligv]

Hello...

I have been toiling with an Arduino Zero device for some time now and I believe I have managed to isolate a problem to the AudioZero libraries.

I have quite a number of .WAV files on an SD card. As I try to play them, I can only play a small number of them and the processor halts. I can access the SD card from file to file without playing them repeatedly very successfully. But if I actually have the files played thru AudioZero module calls, 8 is probably the maximum number of files that will run. The same result applies if I run the same file approximately the same number of times.

Are you calling the begin method before each play?

I've assumed you should not need to use the begin each time. It just didn't seem logical to me. What is your view or reasoning ? It's not a big deal to start each time that way. I'll be trying it.

No it’s not. When something works once but stops after several repetitions, it is likely related to memory issues. The Arduino has limited memory, and the begin function, for example, allocates memory that is never freed. Are you closing the file before opening it again for playing?
