"Audio Switching" in LiveCode

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

Hi Klaus,

thanks for the warm welcome and the deletion of the double-post. I started a thread in "research" while in transit and forgot to delete the original post :D

Also, thank you for the information concerning the "switching"-problem. I had the quiet hope that it might be possible, but I will try to find another solution.

Cheers,

Malte
