As I have mentioned before, the behavior of the Csound app for Android
regarding files on devices has been changed by Android for security
reasons. It was not changed by me or any other Csound developer.

I was not before aware of an issue with raw samples. I would think the
Android behavior would be no different from the regular desktop
Csound, but I will debug it and let you know.

Did you try specifying the complete filepath for the raw sample flle?

Best,
Mike

The two older Android Csounds I compared with the present one based on 6.13/4, are: CsdPlayer (CsoundApp-5.19.apk, based on 5.19) and the CsoundApplication-release.apk based on 6.06/7.

All versions seem not to recognize this format (duly accompanied by a -1 flag in the format field of a GEN01 function). So, this is a longstanding issue. (FWIW, the same sample converted to WAV format shows no difficulties whatever - and conversion is my current "solution" to the issue). I presume this means that no one has yet been able to use Csound's RAW sample inventory directly in Android?

Currently "soundin" either can't locate them, or decipher its non-existent header, even with my specifying -1 for format when reading the sample into a function table with GEN01.

And currently I am obliged to convert Csound's .raw samples into .wav format for them to work with the latest Android Csound.
