sound - Convert vector into sound
Syntax
sound(y,Fs)
sound(y)
sound(y,Fs,bits)
Description
sound(y,Fs) sends the signal
in vector y (with sample frequency Fs,
in hertz) to the speaker on Microsoft Windows and most UNIX platforms.
Values in y are assumed to be in the range –1.0 ≤ y ≤ 1.0. Values outside that range are clipped. Stereo sound
is played on platforms that support it when y is
an n-by-2 matrix. The values in column 1 are assigned
to the left channel, and those in column 2 to the right.
Note
The playback duration that results from setting Fs depends
on the sound card you have installed. Most sound cards support sample
frequencies in the range of approximately 5 kHz to 44.1 kHz. Sample
frequencies outside this range can produce unexpected results. |
sound(y) plays the
sound at the default sample rate or 8192 Hz.
sound(y,Fs,bits) plays
the sound using bits number of bits/sample, if
possible. Most platforms support bits = 8 or bits
= 16.
Remarks
MATLAB software supports all sound devices compatible with Windows operating
systems. Additional sound acquisition and generation capability is
available in Data
Acquisition Toolbox software. The toolbox functionality includes
the ability to buffer the acquisition so that you can analyze the
data as it is being acquired. See the examples on MATLAB sound
acquisition and sound
generation.
