Syntax
void end(void);

Parameters
NA

Returns
NA

“AudioCodec.h” must be included to use the class function.

AudioCodec::getBufferPageSize

Description
Get byte size per page, and default value is 1024 bytes.

uint32_t getBufferPageSize(void);

Parameters
NA

Returns
This function returns the size per page, in number of bytes (default: 1024).

Example Code

Notes and Warnings
Notes and Warnings
The AudioCodec class includes a Tx and Rx buffer for storing audio sample data while it is being transferred to and from the DAC output and ADC input. The buffer is divided into fixed-size pages, allowing audio data to be read and written one page at a time. A buffer page may contain a different number of audio samples depending on the bit depth (bits per audio sample) and channel count set.
“AudioCodec.h” must be included to use the class function.

AudioCodec::setSampleRate

Description
Set the sample rate for transmitting and receiving.

Syntax
void setSampleRate(uint32_t sampleRate);

Parameters
sampleRate: Audio Codec’s sampling rate in Hz. (Default: 48000 Hz). Supported values: 8000, 16000, 32000, 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000 (in Hz).

Returns
NA

Example Code
Example: BasicInputOutput
(https://github.com/ambiot/ambd_arduino/blob/dev/Arduino_package/hardware/libraries/AudioCodec/examples/BasicInputOutput/BasicInputOutput.ino)

Notes and Warnings
Higher sample rates beyond 48000Hz will require more frequent buffer read and write operations to keep up with the large amount of data input and output. If there is insufficient processing time dedicated to this task, audio quality will be degraded.
“AudioCodec.h” must be included to use the class function.
