README for PortAudio Loopback Test
Copyright (c) 1999-2010 Phil Burk and Ross Bencina
See complete license at end of file.
This folder contains code for a single executable that does a standalone test of PortAudio.
It does not require a human to listen to the result. Instead it listens to itself using
a loopback cable connected between the audio output and the audio input. Special pop detectors
and phase analysers can detect errors in the audio stream.
This test can be run from a script as part of a nightly build and test.
--- How to Build the Loopback Test ---
The loopback test is not normally built by the makefile.
To build the loopback test, enter:
./configure && make loopback
This will build the "bin/paloopback" executable.
--- How To Run Test ---
Connect stereo cables from one or more output audio devices to audio input devices.
The test will scan all the ports and find the cables.
Adjust the volume levels of the hardware so you get a decent signal that will not clip.
Run the test from the command line with the following options:
-i# Input device ID. Will scan for loopback if not specified.
-o# Output device ID. Will scan for loopback if not specified.
-r# Sample Rate in Hz. Will use multiple common rates if not specified.
-s# Size of callback buffer in frames, framesPerBuffer.
-w Save bad recordings in a WAV file.
-dDir Path for Directory for WAV files. Default is current directory.
-m Just test the DSP Math code and not the audio devices.
If the -w option is set then any tests that fail will save the recording of the broken
channel in a WAV file. The files will be numbered and shown in the report.
--- ToDo ---
* Add check for harmonic and enharmonic distortion.
* Measure min/max peak values.
* Detect DC bias.
* Test against matrix of devices/APIs and settings.
* Detect mono vs stereo loopback.
* More command line options
--quick
--latency
--duration
* Automated build and test script with cron job.
* Test on Windows.
