# Audio Panel #
|
||||
|
||||
The audio panel controls the audio that is played from the decoding channels to
|
||||
either your computer speakers or headphones. Audio from each decoding channel
|
||||
is automatically routed to the Audio Manager and the audio manager automatically
|
||||
routes the highest priority audio to the speakers.
|
||||
|
||||
Each audio playback channel is automatically started and stopped depending on
|
||||
audio availability. Playback channels use an internal buffer to store a
|
||||
small number of audio frames before automatically starting playback. Therefore,
|
||||
you may experience a slight delay between seeing a call start in the decoder
|
||||
window and audio playback starting. Likewise, you may hear audio playing for a
|
||||
short period after the decoding channel display indicates that the call has
|
||||
ended.
|
||||
|
||||
Audio priority can be specified for each alias that you create. If you want
|
||||
certain talkgroups or identifiers to have a higher priority for listening, you
|
||||
can create the alias, assign the talkgroup(s) or identifier(s) and specify a
|
||||
priority.
|
||||
|
||||
If a call is in playback over the speakers and a higher priority call comes in,
|
||||
the higher priority call will be routed and the existing call audio will be
|
||||
stopped.
|
||||
|
||||
You can override all call priorities defined in the system when you select an
|
||||
individual decoding channel. Any audio produced from a selected channel is
|
||||
routed with the highest priority for playback.
|
||||
|
||||
## Audio Playback Device ##
|
||||
|
||||
The default audio playback device with mono audio is selected by default. You
|
||||
can change the audio playback device and choose the number of playback channels
|
||||
by right-clicking on the audio panel and use the AUDIO OUTPUT menu to select a
|
||||
different audio device.
|
||||
|
||||
## Mono Audio Playback ##
|
||||
You can select mono audio playback to have any playback audio routed to both
|
||||
speakers.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Stereo Audio Playback ##
|
||||
You can select stereo audio playback so that you have independent LEFT and RIGHT
|
||||
audio playback over a stereo audio output. Each audio channel will be managed
|
||||
by the Audio Manager and all audio produced by all decoding channels will be
|
||||
routed to these two channels on a priority basis.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Mute Button ##
|
||||
The green speaker icon on the audio panel is the master mute control. Click the
|
||||
icon to mute the audio and the icon will turn red. Click again, and the audio
|
||||
will unmute and the icon will turn green again.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Channel Menu ##
|
||||
Right-click on either the MONO channel, or the LEFT or RIGHT channel to access
|
||||
the context menu for the channel. You can independently mute or change the
|
||||
audio volume of each channel via this context menu.
|
||||
|
||||
## Channel Mute ##
|
||||
Each channel will show a RED M in the panel when the audio is muted either via
|
||||
the master mute button, or by the channel mute context menu.

|

Select the **View** menu at the top of the application window and click on the

## Streaming Configurations
|
||||
|
||||
### All Server Configurations
|
||||
* **Delay** - this delays streaming of queued audio calls by the specified minutes (0-60 minutes). Calls will remain in the queue and will not be streamed until the call start time plus the delay minutes has elapsed.
|
||||
* **Age Limit** - time limit for retaining audio recordings in the broadcast queue (1-60 minutes). If a call remains in the queue too long, it is automatically deleted once the call start time plus delay plus age limit has elapsed. This feature ensures that your streaming queue doesn't grow to the point that streaming will never catch up. It also ensures that what you're streaming is relatively recent audio. Note: if you see that a large number of your calls are being aged off (deleted prior to broadcast), consider changing/reducing the number of aliases that you have designated for that stream, or increase the age limit value to allow for temporary increases in activity.
|
||||
* **Enabled** - enables or disables a stream. Use this check box to turn streaming on or off.
|
||||
* **Save** - saves any changes you have made to the configuration. If a stream is running when you make changes, the stream will be disconnected and then recreated with the new settings.
|
||||
* **Reset** - resets the editor window to the saved configuration values after you have made changes to the editor.
|
||||
* **Delay** - this delays streaming of queued audio calls by the specified
