AVD hangs need option

[PoulDK]

Hi,
I have persistently been troubled by not being able to stop the virtual device started through AVD (or called by B4A to the AVD).
Anyway... the situation is very simple: everything works and I can do all I want with coding and testing, until... I am done and want to close the virtual device...
That never closes: it just simply "hangs" and is being unresponsive.
anything else still works and I can do all I want but that VD simply stays hanging to the point when I want to shutdown my PC: which it never does, while that VD windows is still hung!
Btw: I am using XP-SP3
Now the question: I found on several forums that there is a known bug with AVD that has the above effect and can be solved by adding -noaudio to the command line when starting the virtual device.
Is there a place in B4A where a can add/insert that option?
Cheers,
Poul DK.

I found that all my virtual devices hang for a wee while when trying to close. Usually only a few minutes max though. I have no fix for that unfortunately.

As for the -noaudio I'd imagine it's the same as setting the Audio playback support to No in the AVD manager. Possibly the audio recording as well.

Hi admac, thanks for the suggestion.
It seems indeed to resolve the "hang bug" but does need both parameters set:
->Audio playback support = no
->Audio recording support = no
if only one is set it still hangs!
As for the long pause before closing that is annoying me too, but feel it is related to the
use of snapshot: it takes a long time to close when that option is set.
I also get some inconsistent behaviour when snapshot is enabled, thus...
am opting to prefer a longer load time and have a consistent emulator,
over a quick initial load and having to deal with inconsistent behaviour and long close.
Thanks for guiding the way.
Cheers,
Poul DK.
