Use the Sound Files VIs to create and retrieve PC wave files (.wav).
(Windows) You must have DirectX 8.0 or later to use the Sound File VIs.
(Linux) You must have the Open Sound System (OSS) driver to use this VI. LabVIEW searches for input and output devices by looking for files named /dev/dsp or /dev/dspX, where X is an integer between 0 and 16. LabVIEW attempts to open each input and output device. If LabVIEW cannot detect the sound card, check that a device file named /dev/dsp or /dev/dspX exists on the local system and that you have permission to read from and write to the device. If you moved this device to a location other than the default, LabVIEW can work with a symbolic link.
