Can't listen audio with Android emulator

Question

When I'm developing with Eclipse and the emulator is launched, I can't listen any audio on my computer, only emulator's sounds. I have disabled the emulator's audio but it stills lock.

I'm using Windows 7. If I go to Windows notification's bar, I click on Audio's Manager, I disable emulator's icon but nothing happens.

I would like to listen my mp3 or Youtube videos meanwhile I'm developing.

Any idea? Thanks!

From emulator.exe -help-all

-no-audio                      disable audio support

========= help for option -no_audio:

use '-no-audio' to disable all audio support in the emulator. this may be unfortunately be necessary in some cases:

• at least two users have reported that their Windows machine rebooted instantly unless they used this option when starting the emulator. it is very likely that the problem comes from buggy audio drivers.

• on some Linux machines, the emulator might get stuck at startup with audio support enabled. this problem is hard to reproduce, but seems to be related too to flaky ALSA / audio driver support.

Try:

Open a command into android-sdk/tools folder

emulator.exe -no-audio -avd YourAVD
