Why does the sound for the Emulator does not work?

Hello Olavo

Welcome to the community!

@Olavo_Ito

My emulator is the last version at the site (march 15 2923).

........ you are centuries ahead of us, I would have thought the emulator would be a lot more impressive in 2923

Joking aside, it sounds as though that is a limitation of the current Emulator. It's good that you can use the Companion as that gives a much better idea if how the App will work and you can make some changes on-the-fly.

If you really need an Emulator, try a 3rd Party Emulator such as Blue Stacks, Memu or Genymotion.

If your PC is running Linux try Androidx86 with Virtual Box:

Use Androidx86 with VirtualBox as an emulator for AI2

Update (2023-10-31): there is currently an issue loading a project that contains assets, or when trying to add an asset to an asset-less project running in companion. Will advise if it gets resolved. This guide aims to show you how you can use Androidx86 as an emulator for AppInventor AI2. Androidx86 is currently running Android 9, but they are working on stable versions of Android 10+) I will not go into the full details of setting up VirtualBox or how to install Androidx86 from an iso to a vi…
