__init__() → None

Initializes the SoundDevice with settings.

Methods

__init__()	Initializes the SoundDevice with settings.
create_sound_vec(left, right)	Interleaves left and right channels into a stereo array.
get_sound_from_wav(file)
load(left, right)	Loads sound data into the playback queue.
play()	Triggers playback of the loaded sound.
shutdown()	Shuts down the audio thread and stream.
stop()	Stops playback.

load(left: Any, right: Any) → None

Loads sound data into the playback queue.

Parameters:

• left (Any) – Left channel data (array-like).

• right (Any) – Right channel data (array-like).

Raises:

ValueError – If inputs are invalid or lengths differ.

get_sound_from_wav(file: str) → tuple[numpy.ndarray, numpy.ndarray]

play() → None

Triggers playback of the loaded sound.

stop() → None

Stops playback.

shutdown() → None

Shuts down the audio thread and stream.

static create_sound_vec(left: numpy.ndarray, right: numpy.ndarray) → numpy.ndarray.numpy.float32

Interleaves left and right channels into a stereo array.

Parameters:

• left (np.ndarray) – Left channel data.

• right (np.ndarray) – Right channel data.

Returns:

Interleaved stereo data.

Return type:

np.ndarray[np.float32]
