<div class="descr">
<h2 id="details">Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The <a href="qaudiooutput.html">QAudioOutput</a> class provides an interface for sending audio data to an audio output device.</p>
<p>You can construct an audio output with the system's <a href="qaudiodeviceinfo.html#defaultOutputDevice">default audio output device</a>. It is also possible to create <a href="qaudiooutput.html">QAudioOutput</a> with a specific <a href="qaudiodeviceinfo.html">QAudioDeviceInfo</a>. When you create the audio output, you should also send in the <a href="qaudioformat.html">QAudioFormat</a> to be used for the playback (see the <a href="qaudioformat.html">QAudioFormat</a> class description for details).</p>
<p>To play a file:</p>
<p>Starting to play an audio stream is simply a matter of calling <a href="qaudiooutput.html#start-1">start</a>() with a <a href="../qtcore/qiodevice.html">QIODevice</a>. <a href="qaudiooutput.html">QAudioOutput</a> will then fetch the data it needs from the io device. So playing back an audio file is as simple as:</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  <span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qfile.html">QFile</a></span> sourceFile;   <span class="comment">// class member.</span>

          <span class="keyword">return</span>;
      }

      audio <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="keyword">new</span> <span class="type"><a href="qaudiooutput.html#QAudioOutput">QAudioOutput</a></span>(format<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="keyword">this</span>);

      audio<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>start(<span class="operator">&amp;</span>sourceFile);
  }

</pre>
<p>The file will start playing assuming that the audio system and output device support it. If you run out of luck, check what's up with the <a href="qaudiooutput.html#error">error</a>() function.</p>
<p>After the file has finished playing, we need to stop the device:</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  <span class="type">void</span> AudioOutputExample<span class="operator">::</span>handleStateChanged(<span class="type"><a href="qaudio.html">QAudio</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>State newState)

              <span class="keyword">break</span>;
      }
  }

</pre>
<p>At any given time, the <a href="qaudiooutput.html">QAudioOutput</a> will be in one of four states: active, suspended, stopped, or idle. These states are described by the <a href="qaudio.html#State-enum">QAudio::State</a> enum. State changes are reported through the <a href="qaudiooutput.html#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>() signal. You can use this signal to, for instance, update the GUI of the application; the mundane example here being changing the state of a <code>play/pause</code> button. You request a state change directly with <a href="qaudiooutput.html#suspend">suspend</a>(), <a href="qaudiooutput.html#stop">stop</a>(), <a href="qaudiooutput.html#reset">reset</a>(), <a href="qaudiooutput.html#resume">resume</a>(), and <a href="qaudiooutput.html#start-1">start</a>().</p>
<p>While the stream is playing, you can set a notify interval in milliseconds with <a href="qaudiooutput.html#setNotifyInterval">setNotifyInterval</a>(). This interval specifies the time between two emissions of the <a href="qaudiooutput.html#notify">notify</a>() signal. This is relative to the position in the stream, i.e&#x2e;, if the <a href="qaudiooutput.html">QAudioOutput</a> is in the SuspendedState or the IdleState, the <a href="qaudiooutput.html#notify">notify</a>() signal is not emitted. A typical use-case would be to update a <a href="../qtwidgets/qslider.html">slider</a> that allows seeking in the stream. If you want the time since playback started regardless of which states the audio output has been in, <a href="qaudiooutput.html#elapsedUSecs">elapsedUSecs</a>() is the function for you.</p>
<p>If an error occurs, you can fetch the <a href="qaudio.html#Error-enum">error type</a> with the <a href="qaudiooutput.html#error">error</a>() function. Please see the <a href="qaudio.html#Error-enum">QAudio::Error</a> enum for a description of the possible errors that are reported. When an error is encountered, the state changes to <a href="qaudio.html#State-enum">QAudio::StoppedState</a>. You can check for errors by connecting to the <a href="qaudiooutput.html#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>() signal:</p>
<pre class="cpp">

<p>Sets the audio buffer size to <i>value</i> in bytes.</p>
<p><b>Note: </b>This function can be called anytime before <a href="qaudiooutput.html#start-1">start</a>(). Calls to this are ignored after <a href="qaudiooutput.html#start-1">start</a>(). It should not be assumed that the buffer size set is the actual buffer size used - call <a href="qaudiooutput.html#bufferSize">bufferSize</a>() anytime after <a href="qaudiooutput.html#start-1">start</a>() to return the actual buffer size being used.</p><p><b>See also </b><a href="qaudiooutput.html#bufferSize">bufferSize</a>().</p>

<!-- $$$setCategory[overload1]$$$setCategoryconstQString& -->
<h3 class="fn" id="setCategory"><a name="setCategory"></a><span class="type">void</span> QAudioOutput::<span class="name">setCategory</span>(const <span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qstring.html">QString</a></span> &amp;<i>category</i>)</h3>
<p>Sets the audio category of this audio stream to <i>category</i>.</p>
<p>Some platforms can group audio streams into categories and manage their volumes independently, or display them in a system mixer control. You can set this property to allow the platform to distinguish the purpose of your streams.</p>
<p>Not all platforms support audio stream categorization. In this case, the function call will be ignored.</p>
<p>Changing an audio output stream's category while it is opened will not take effect until it is reopened.</p>

<!-- $$$setNotifyInterval[overload1]$$$setNotifyIntervalint -->
<h3 class="fn" id="setNotifyInterval"><a name="setNotifyInterval"></a><span class="type">void</span> QAudioOutput::<span class="name">setNotifyInterval</span>(<span class="type">int</span> <i>ms</i>)</h3>
<p>Sets the interval for <a href="qaudiooutput.html#notify">notify</a>() signal to be emitted. This is based on the <i>ms</i> of audio data processed, not on wall clock time. The minimum resolution of the timer is platform specific and values should be checked with <a href="qaudiooutput.html#notifyInterval">notifyInterval</a>() to confirm the actual value being used.</p>
<p><b>See also </b><a href="qaudiooutput.html#notifyInterval">notifyInterval</a>().</p>
<!-- @@@setNotifyInterval -->
<!-- $$$setVolume[overload1]$$$setVolumeqreal -->
<h3 class="fn" id="setVolume"><a name="setVolume"></a><span class="type">void</span> QAudioOutput::<span class="name">setVolume</span>(<span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qtglobal.html#qreal-typedef">qreal</a></span> <i>volume</i>)</h3>
<p>Sets the output volume to <i>volume</i>.</p>
<p>The volume is scaled linearly from <code>0.0</code> (silence) to <code>1.0</code> (full volume). Values outside this range will be clamped.</p>
<p>The default volume is <code>1.0</code>.</p>
<p>Note: Adjustments to the volume will change the volume of this audio stream, not the global volume.</p>
<p>UI volume controls should usually be scaled nonlinearly. For example, using a logarithmic scale will produce linear changes in perceived loudness, which is what a user would normally expect from a volume control. See <a href="qaudio.html#convertVolume">QAudio::convertVolume</a>() for more details.</p>

<p>If a problem occurs during this process, <a href="qaudiooutput.html#error">error</a>() returns <a href="qaudio.html#Error-enum">QAudio::OpenError</a>, <a href="qaudiooutput.html#state">state</a>() returns <a href="qaudio.html#State-enum">QAudio::StoppedState</a> and the <a href="qaudiooutput.html#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>() signal is emitted.</p>
