I have a problem with my genymotion emulator on Mac OX Yosemite. I have tried several devices, but every time, the voice and sounds are very deep. I was wondering whether anyone who has used virtual box or genymotion knows how to fix this problem.

I recently downloaded the latest Genymotion version,2.7.2 (I had a previous version before, I don't remember which exactly) however whenever I try to launch an emulator, the device pops up for about a minute but before loading completely it freezes. Not only that, but when this happens the entire Desktop freezes. I'm able to move the cursor, but nothing else responds (even the clock stops working). No clicks or keys do anything and I'm forced to restart my Desktop via the power button on my machine. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.
I've tried 3 separate times with 3 separate emulated devices and the same thing happens every time. Until I get this fixed I can't do my job, so I would really like some advice.
Had same problem,
I changed video card driver from Software & Updates -> Additional Drivers
rebooted and no freeze again
Had the same error on 16.04, fixed it by uninstalling virtualbox, then reinstalling from the deb image from the official page here https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
then running
sudo dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-dkms
also switched to nvidia proprietary drivers
Some of these VMs from Genymotion are using more memory than you know. When creating a Virtual Device in Genymotion, I used the down-arrow to ensure I had enough system memory to run. Look at the attached screenshots.
I have a 6GB system and I didn't realize a Samsung Galaxy S8 was using 4GB RAM. Switching to the Google Nexus 9, which is running 2GB RAM, I was able to launch without the sluggishness.
1Genymotion seems to run with VirtualBox. Therefore, launching VirtualBox will show you the created VMs from Geny. From there, you can use the Settings in VirtualBox to change the RAM size.
I hope this helps someone because it drove me crazy.

I'm trying to run the Android SDK AVD Emulator on my Windows 10 Machine with an i7-6700K and a Geforce GTX 970. I activated Host GPU and Intel HAXM is operational as well. Performance looks generally good, but for a reason that eludes me the emulator hangs every 3-4 Seconds for about a second, then continues normally. As the effect is hard to describe accurately, I made a short video to illustrate the effect:
https://youtu.be/Dl1pxTRIu_c
As I tried to show in the video, even the virtual keyboard below the actual phone emulation is affected by this "hanging". I already tried deactivating my virus scanner (Avira Free), with no effect. There is also nothing running in the background using too much CPU resources (or, any at all, according to the Windows Taskmanager, the system is jumping between about 6% and 15%). Neither using another SDK image nor another device or resolution seemed to help either.
Any help in improving this is greatly appreciated, thank you!
Install Intel HAXM from android sdk it speed ups android emulator

Why is the Android emulator so slow? How can we speed up the Android emulator?
I am creating a camera application that detects claps, however the sound detection does not work in genymotion but only works in the regular emulator. I am not sure why.
There is a bug in the windows version of Genymotion that prevent the input sound from working.
It works well on Linux and Mac but not on Windows.
There is no way to work around it at this time.
Hi I'm trying to compile a Titanium Android app directly on my Nexus 7 (2013, SDK 4.3) device but I can't see any 'Titanium on Android Device' option in the Run Configurations.
My device is in Developer mode, connected to the USB, detected by Android File Transfer (Mac OS X 10.9, Titanium 3.1.4), detected by adb...
I tried to restart adb, restart Titanium, plug and unplug the device, but I still cannot see the option.
I also tested all this with Titanium 3.1.3, with no success.
I have no clue of what's happening :/ any help would be appreciated. thanks
It may sound stupid, but my friend had similar problems with his Nexus and he changed the USB slot to which he plugged his device and it worked.
Try using a different cable. Most cables are only able to load the device, somehow. Not every micro-USB-cable is capable of sending data, correctly.
Again a reason why I don´t like to work in the android environment. No one checks whether software and hardware is working the way it´s supposed to. That´s why I love Apples restrictive "closed" system. No 1000 viruses and other crap.
Well, that was a bit confusing but I finally found such option inside a Project Explorer menu...
Trying to run the Android Emulator on Windows XP SP3 the Emulator will start, it will get to the point where I can see the "ANDROID" text on the screen on the emulator, then a series of 3 windows command prompt windows will open, the final of which will say "Error Reading Properties" which is similar to the problem here Android-AVD :error loading preferences
However after this dialog shows, XP crashes.
This was consistent across revision 10 and 13 of the emulator (I upgraded trying to get past the problem)
Has anybody had this problem? I haven't been able to reproduce it on any other machine than this one, I've done all the arbitrary updating of drivers etc. grasping at straws trying to make the emulator work...I can't think of what else to do
Forgot to add:
I've run the emulator with the -trace option, but all the files generated are empty.
It turned out to be a problem with my Audio driver. I had seen other people on forums reporting problems using LG headsets etc. and when they unplugged their microphones the emulator worked, but they were having different issues i.e. their system didn't reboot. I had also tried simply unplugging all my audio devices with no success. In the end I started in Windows Safe Mode, the Android emulator complained about no sound available, but didn't crash. So back in plain old Windows I just disabled my audio driver and it worked perfectly.
