Reading System Audio Output

Hey everyone,
Is there any way to get unity to read the system's output volume data from coreaudio?
Possibly by modifying this AudioInput plugin?

Thanks a bunch in advance!

 

not possible then? i know unity is weak in the audio department, but it seems like if we can create an audioinput script, we could do audiooutput, or at least get unity interacting with some sort of spectrum analysis software

 

Sorry for the lack of a reply, and while it needs improvement I wouldn't call our audio support "weak", but maybe I'm just sensitive. Anyway, you can't read that audio data by default so you'll have to write your own plugin to do that (but a plugin can most certainly read that audio data and feed it back to your Unity content).

Note: plugins are not supported in the web player.

 

hey, thanks for the reply!

haha, i guess i mean "weak" in comparison to the brilliance of all of unity's other features. anyway, thats the impression i got from reading a number of different threads on this topic.

any advice on how to make the plugin work, using the audioinput plugin as a model?

 

Me? No, I've not done any C/C++ work myself so it's a bit outside of my skill-set, sorry. Perhaps someone else will chime in.

 

sorry to bump, but any pointers from anyone?
