Sound partly working

Hi there,

 

I have been working on an issue for hours, and I really need help on this one. I use Construct 2 platform to make a Tizen game for Gear2. I made the main menu with a music starting with the layout, it worked perfectly. Now I am making the introduction scene of the game and I want to add a step sound for my character. It works on construct 2 when I test it with Chrome (it's an HTML5 game that just export from construct2.

On the device, it won't work whatever I do : change it to another sound, take the music from the main menu, change the event that will trigger the sound... it's just not logical and it makes me crazy!

I am sure that Construct 2 is not the problem because it works so well in Chrome when I test it, and the menu music even works on the device... is there anything weird I should know about sounds in gear 2 ? :-/

Update: I think I might understand what is happening. I think the Gear 2 is not powerful enough to run both the graphics of the game and the sounds at the right moment. That happened to me with the graphics too, i'll explain.

 

My character has a gun and shoots on a rope holding a box. When the bullet enters in collision with the rope, it is supposed to break it and let the box fall which works perfectly on Chrome when I test it. But on the gear, the FPS is not as good as on the computer and it happens that the bullet just passes the rope without eliciting the rope break (collision seems not to be processed).

 

I think the same think occurs with the sounds of the steps: the watch already has all the graphics to process and when I set the rule "when the chracter is walking and that frame is playing, play that sound" the watch gets overwhelmed and does not play the sound.

 

That theory all stems from the fact that I managed to get the sound working this morning , but it's just like the rope think, it sometimes works, sometimes not. And the FPS indicator is very low which supports my theory that it's too much for the watch. Any thoughts?
