Audio loopback latency test plus#
Of your AD/DA converter plus your soundcard buffer. The loopback test tells you what your total latency is. Therefore k*sps/N is number of periods/second, or frequency.No, I don’t think so. If sps is number of samples/sec, then sps/N is number of buffers/second. What time interval corresponds to one buffer? That depends on sampling speed. In other words, the k-th basis vector has k periods per buffer. So how many such repetitions fit in a segment of length N? Exactly k. Cosine starts repeating after 2π, which corresponds to kt/N = 1 or t = N/k. Its real part is cos(2πkt/N) (cosine is symmetric, so sign of argument doesn't matter). What is the relation between k, the index of the Fourier component, and its frequency? The function describing the k-th basis vector is e-2πikt/N. The phase of a given component describes the phase shift of this component-at what angle it starts its oscillations. They have a modulus and a phase: The modulus of V, sqrt(V V), describes the intensity of the particular frequency corresponding to k (because of normalization, divide modulus by sqrt(N)) The components of the DFT are complex numbers. The reverse of the DFT is calculated simply by applying the Fourier transform again, and reversing the resulting buffer (to satisfy normalization, also divide resulting samples by N). A pure Fourier Transform is continuous DFTs were invented so Fourier Transforms could be used in the real world. Properties of the DFT DFT stands for ‘Discrete Fourier Transform’.

Loop Test - Test loopback function for PCM devices.

This could be handled by using a larger transform space and taking a little more time in processing. More than 7 tones can be used but peak discrimination of the convolved signal becomes more difficult. During that time up to 7 sinsusoidal tones are polyphonically played, captured, Fourier analyzed, a report given and an optional spectrogram created. This test is fast- usually running in 1/2 second per port combination tested. Any missing or unexpected tones are reported. The incoming sound is convolved through a Fourier Transform and the resulting energy peaks are filtered, sorted and compared to the known expected tones. USB/audio dongles can also be tested and the audio output present in a HDMI port can likewise be tested with an appropriate dongle while looping back to an incoming microphone port. The external Mic/Headphone jack can easily be tested but the built-in speakers and microphone can also be tested by placing the ChromeBook/Laptop in a box and arranging for the built-in speaker sound to bounce off a surface and be directed to the built-in microphone. It performs polyphonic tone synthesis while simultaneously capturing the incoming sound in some form of external audio loopback. This package intends to be a fast and powerful automated audio test tool.
