Audio Device

class AudioDevice(playback_device, record_device, playback_channels=None, record_channels=None, sampling_rate=48000, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: PhysicalDevice, Serializable

HermesPy binding to an arbitrary audio device. Let’s rock!

Parameters:

  • playback_device (int) – Device over which audio streams are to be transmitted.

  • record_device (int) – Device over which audio streams are to be received.

  • playback_channels (Union[np.ndarray, Iterable], optional) – List of audio channels for signal transmission. By default, the first channel is selected.

  • record_channels (Union[np.ndarray, Iterable], optional) – List of audio channels for signal reception. By default, the first channel is selected.

  • sampling_rate (float, optional) – Configured sampling rate. 48 kHz by default.

trigger()[source]

property sampling_rate: float

Sampling rate at which the device’s analog-to-digital converters operate.

Returns:

Sampling rate in Hz.

Return type:

sampling_rate (float)

Raises:

ValueError – If the sampling rate is not greater than zero.
