Sound - Sound Cards

Here you can select several sound cards for the sound output.
For each sound card you can specify which sound lines should be used.

• Sound cards do not have a unique ID. Several sound cards of the same type cannot be distinguished from each other on the software side.
  As a rule, the sound cards are always loaded in the same order, provided they are connected.
  If you are running multiple sound cards of the same type, please check that the sound cards are set correctly before starting a show.
• Sound cards (especially sound cards of different types) can have different latencies, this leads to a slightly offset playback of the sound.
• Sound cards can take different times to start and thus also play the sound slightly offset or even produce slight dropouts when starting the sound.
  This problem was especially observed on an iMac (2013) when the built-in sound card was activated together with an external (USB) sound card.
  Solution: Enter a delay on all channels of the faster sound card - see below.
• USB sound cards and Bluetooth devices have inherently different latencies. If you don't want to output the same sound (e.g. a device only plays sound effects) then this is acceptable.
  Otherwise, the solution is to assign a delay to all channels of the faster sound card - see below.
  Only one Bluetooth speaker can be used under Windows, under Mac OS virtual sound cards (Audio Midi settings) can be created to which several Bluetooth speakers can be assigned.
  In this case you could possibly output the sound e.g. via a multi-channel USB sound card and transmit certain channels with one/more Bluetooth Transciever (apt X LL ???) to the Bluetotth speakers.
  Use the sound lines of the liveSHOWsoftware to set which sound should be played on which channel.
  

	Sound Lines: For each sound card you can specify which sound line is played on which channel of the sound card - see Sound Lines. Click on the symbol of the corresponding sound card. Internally, the liveSHOWsoftware uses 10 sound lines. For sound objects in the timeline or in the jingle window, you can define for each channel of the sound object to which sound lines it is assigned. For sound cards, it is possible to specify for each channel of the sound card which sound lines are played back via this channel. Delay: In addition, a delay can be specified for each channel on sound cards. This is useful if the sound cards used have a delay between each other or you use separate speakers for the rear part of the audience see - Sound Lines.
	Updated the list of sound card. Note: The list is updated automatically. However, the update may take up to one minute. This can not be changed, because the interplay of Java and the operating system at this point is somewhat hackneyed.
	Here you can save the current sound card configuration to a file.
	Here you can load a previously saved sound card configuration.

Sound cards under Windows and MAC
(the tiresome driver problem)

1.  Right click on the speaker icon
   
   
   and then click on 'Open sound settings' with the left mouse button
   
   
   OR
   search for 'Sound Settings' in the Windows search bar.
   
   
2. Click on 'Sound Control Panel' in the sound settings:
   
   
   
   
3. In the Sound System Control window, click on the desired sound card
   and then click on 'Configure'.
   
   
    The 'Speaker Setup' window opens
   
   
   
4. In the 'Speaker Setup' window, all supported channel modes (audio channels) are listed.
   Select the desired audio channels and then click 'Next'.
   
5. close all Windows configuration windows!
   Possibly the liveSHOWsoftware must be restarted, because the configuration needs an exclusive access to the soundcard!
