I thought I can find anything on this great site but now I seem to face the issue with no answer :) Please help!
Thing is, I need to play up to 6 different wav files with 1 channel each into 6 channels supported by system mixer (left, right, surround left, etc).
Using 6 different SourceDataLines looks logical but from what I see, Mixer cannot do per-sample synchronisation for them, so I came up with interleaving them in separate thread and use only one SourceDataLine to play it. It works fine for two channels, left and right but for more channels I need to know precise channels layout (may be different on diff. system, and sound cards). I thought that one of system Mixers (I have two: "linear input" and "java sound system mixer") might have this metadata but I can't find it.
Does anybody know how to get this info?
Thanks.
My friend and I just figured out that java7 sound system supports 6 channels and all the variants of their using with different bits, etc.
Here is the code to list what your java can do:
Mixer.Info[] mi = AudioSystem.getMixerInfo();
for (Mixer.Info info : mi) {
System.out.println("info: " + info);
Mixer m = AudioSystem.getMixer(info);
System.out.println("mixer " + m);
Line.Info[] sl = m.getSourceLineInfo();
for (Line.Info info2 : sl) {
System.out.println(" info: " + info2);
Line line = AudioSystem.getLine(info2);
if (line instanceof SourceDataLine) {
SourceDataLine source = (SourceDataLine) line;
DataLine.Info i = (DataLine.Info) source.getLineInfo();
for (AudioFormat format : i.getFormats()) {
System.out.println(" format: " + format);
}
}
}
}
This is output from my macbook pro with usb connected external sound card:

Yes, its an old question but since i was searching to get all the channels, depths and so on i decided to write a small debug method which is usefull if you like to see more details and would like to use java 8 streams :-)
Enjoy:
//filter may be all if you want to include microphone
public void getDeviceInfos(String filter) {
Stream
.of(AudioSystem.getMixerInfo())
.forEach(info -> {
System.out.println("Mixer Name: " + info.getName());
System.out.println("Mixer Description: " + info.getDescription());
System.out.println("Mixer Vendor: " + info.getVendor());
Mixer m = AudioSystem.getMixer(info);
Stream
.of(Arrays.asList(m.getSourceLineInfo()), filter.equals("record") ? Arrays.asList(m.getTargetLineInfo()) : null)
.flatMap(List::stream)
.collect(Collectors.toList())
.forEach(lineInfo -> {
System.out.println(" info: " + lineInfo);
try {
Line line = AudioSystem.getLine(lineInfo);
if (line instanceof SourceDataLine || line instanceof TargetDataLine) {
Arrays.asList(((DataLine.Info) line.getLineInfo()).getFormats()).forEach(format -> {
System.out.println("Channels: " + format.getChannels());
System.out.println("Size in Bits: " + format.getSampleSizeInBits());
System.out.println("Frame Rate: " + format.getFrameRate());
System.out.println("Frame Size: " + format.getFrameSize());
System.out.println("Encoding: " + format.getEncoding());
System.out.println("Sample Rate: " + format.getSampleRate());
});
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
});
});
}
