Sound Effects Issues on Nokia Asha phones playing java games

[King_Dave]

According to my research, it’s a firmware-level bug in the audio driver. Nokia actually shipped the 208/301 with that issue, and since Microsoft ended s40 support back in 2014, no patches ever came out.
The only solution I can say give, disable Sound Effects in the game settings (if possible) and leave only background music. This avoids triggering the bug. Or use “lightweight” versions of games (some Gameloft games for S.E. k800i have heavier and more sound tracks, the Lite ones like the Nokia 6280 version, often used fewer audio assets).
