Details

Associates a given display device with a given audio device, so that audio, if chosen, can be played from video files.

Not all audio devices will support this: in particular, the device must be (a) real, not fake (to get round this in a development environment, and to force audio off, do so by configuring the server in Server / Video configuration); (b) a DirectX device (thereby excluding the "Primary Sound Driver" - choose its DirectX equivalent) ; (c) not a left/right-"split" device.

Revision history

Implemented in WhiskerServer version 4.0.
