"Audio Switching" in LiveCode
Posted: Mon Sep 07, 2015 4:00 pm
Dear fellow LiveCoders,
I have a question regarding the control of multichannel sound output with LiveCode. To provide a little background: I would like to present two (different) sounds simultaneously from two (out of four) speakers. However, the specific speakers should vary from trial to trial. I previously had a hardware solution for the issue: Specific channels were defined in LiveCode (as numbers) and transmitted to a (custom made) audio switch device via the COM-port. The audio switch device translated the numbers into actual speakers and send the output signal to the two speakers. I wonder if it is possible to circumvent the audio switch device (which is no longer available) and directly specify sound channels (in any way on a sound card or an audio interface) with LiveCode.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Cheers,
Malte
