Audio Queue Tone generator channel direction

[WIsted]

Hi

I am trying to create an app that creates tones and then direct it to either left or right earphone. I am using AudioQueues.

I have followed many tutorials and examples off the internet and Have got all the basics setup however the code I have I believe creates a single sample and buffer.

What I want to do is have a left and right segment control and send the mono sample to the respective earphone.

I am currently creating the sample like this


double theta = viewController->theta;
double theta_increment = 2.0 * M_PI * viewController->frequency / viewController->sampleRate;

const int channel = 0;
Float32 *buffer = (Float32 *)ioData->mBuffers[channel].mData;

// Generate the samples
for (UInt32 frame = 0; frame < inNumberFrames; frame++)
{
buffer[frame] = sin(theta) * viewController->amplitude;

theta += theta_increment;
if (theta > 2.0 * M_PI)
{
theta -= 2.0 * M_PI;
}
}

and creating to tone by

AudioComponentDescription defaultOutputDescription;
defaultOutputDescription.componentType = kAudioUnitType_Output;
defaultOutputDescription.componentSubType = kAudioUnitSubType_RemoteIO;
defaultOutputDescription.componentManufacturer = kAudioUnitManufacturer_Apple;
defaultOutputDescription.componentFlags = 0;
defaultOutputDescription.componentFlagsMask = 0;

// Get the default playback output unit
AudioComponent defaultOutput = AudioComponentFindNext(NULL, &defaultOutputDescription);
NSAssert(defaultOutput, @"Can't find default output");

// Create a new unit based on this that we'll use for output
OSErr err = AudioComponentInstanceNew(defaultOutput, &toneUnit);
NSAssert1(toneUnit, @"Error creating unit: %ld", err);

// Set our tone rendering function on the unit
AURenderCallbackStruct input;
input.inputProc = RenderTone;
input.inputProcRefCon = self;
err = AudioUnitSetProperty(toneUnit,
kAudioUnitProperty_SetRenderCallback,
kAudioUnitScope_Input,
0,
&input,
sizeof(input));
NSAssert1(err == noErr, @"Error setting callback: %ld", err);

// Set the format to 32 bit, single channel, floating point, linear PCM
const int four_bytes_per_float = 4;
const int eight_bits_per_byte = 8;
AudioStreamBasicDescription streamFormat;
streamFormat.mSampleRate = sampleRate;
streamFormat.mFormatID = kAudioFormatLinearPCM;
streamFormat.mFormatFlags =
kAudioFormatFlagsNativeFloatPacked | kAudioFormatFlagIsNonInterleaved;
streamFormat.mBytesPerPacket = four_bytes_per_float;
streamFormat.mFramesPerPacket = 1;
streamFormat.mBytesPerFrame = four_bytes_per_float;
streamFormat.mChannelsPerFrame = 2;
streamFormat.mBitsPerChannel = four_bytes_per_float * eight_bits_per_byte;
err = AudioUnitSetProperty (toneUnit,
kAudioUnitProperty_StreamFormat,
kAudioUnitScope_Input,
0,
&streamFormat,
sizeof(AudioStreamBasicDescription));
NSAssert1(err == noErr, @"Error setting stream format: %ld", err);

any help would be appreciated.
