SoundGenerator.StreamCreateMultiChannelEmpty method

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Creates and loads into the given player a new and empty multi-channel (up to 7.1) audio stream that may host the following kinds of sound generators on allocated channels:

 

- Pure wave tones through the SoundGenerator.StreamChannelAddTone method

- Sliding wave tones through the SoundGenerator.StreamChannelAddSlidingTone method

- Noises through the SoundGenerator.StreamChannelAddNoise method

- DTMF tones through the SoundGenerator.StreamChannelAddDtmfString method

- Text to speech through the SoundGenerator.StreamChannelAddSpeechFromString and SoundGenerator.StreamChannelAddSpeechFromFile methods.

 

Once created and filled with needed sound generators, the audio stream can be played through the PlaySound method, paused through the PauseSound method and stopped through the StopSound method. Once no more needed, the audio stream can be discarded from memory through the CloseSound method.

 

For further details about sound generation see the SoundGenerator object and the How to generate wave tones, noises, DTMF tones and text to speech tutorial.
