WhiskerServer_AudioDeviceSummaryView

 

Lists every audio output device in use by the server. (These may be configured via Configure hardware Audio devices).

 

Device#. The device number. Devices are numbered from 0.
L/R/stereo. If this shows 'stereo', the whole audio device is being treated as a unit. If this says 'L' or 'R', then the audio device represents a stereophonic sound card that has been split into two separate channels (left and right), to double the number of available (monophonic) sound devices. Note that some poor-quality sound cards exhibit 'bleed', such that sounds intended to come only from the left channel are audible (albeit quietly) on the right channel; these sound cards are probably unsuitable for splitting.
Physical device number. The physical device number, as reported by Windows. (If you have split a sound card, two devices will have the same physical device number.)
Description. The device description provided by Windows.
Module. The sound module supporting the device, as reported by Windows.
Owner #. The number of the client that owns the device at present.
Owner name. The name of the client that owns the device at present.
Number of buffers loaded. The number of sound buffers currently attached to this device.
Server device group. The device group, as defined in the server's device definition file.
Server device name. The device name, as defined in the server's device definition file.

 

When an audio device is selected in the list, you can test it individually (see Audio Menu).
