The Audio Driver manages the execution of alarm audio files through the sound system connected to the computer. Each alarm message can be preceded by a differentiated call sound based on the alarm priority.

The alarm notifications intended for sending to the sound broadcast are queued by the alarm remoting system in the driver queue. The driver then proceeds to the decoding and for each alarm extracted from the queue proceeds, in order, to the execution of the following operations:


    1. Execution of the recall sound associated with the alarm priority (defined in the driver configuration window)
    2. Execution of the alarm notification message (defined in the alarm configuration window)


Note: Audio Driver manages the sound file format Audio Wave (*. wav)
