API Summary

Controls the audio policy of a webOS system. Implements audio routing (sending audio streams to the proper destinations) and setting volumes in different scenarios.

Its functionality is categorized into the following modules:

  • Master: Controls the master volume of audio output devices.
  • UMI: Handles connections and manages volume for audio resources, when playing audio from applications like YouTube.
  • System: Controls audio policy for DTMF (touch tones), alarm, calendar, and effects.
  • Media: Controls audio policy for media playback.
  • Ringtone: Controls audio policy for ringtones.
  • Alert: Controls audio policy for alerts.

In addition, there is a soundSettings category, to manage sound settings such as setting the output device for the audio.

Note: [ Applicable for Master, UMI, and SoundSettings ] The audio service calls the audiooutput service to communicate with the audio hardware layer.
