04 · Cartwall SFX → network audio device
Fire cartwall SFX from the Bits page to a network audio device — AES67, ST2110, Sonos, garden speaker, console/Q-SYS, and more — even from a headless or Pi-class box. This is a solid place to pause the tour.
Capture

Cartwall — Operator Mode · Bits 4×4 — fire from Action Deck or Stream Deck into your chosen network audio device
Before you start
- Step 03 works: House / Bits open, and at least one Bits tile fires your uploaded audio file — or you continued when fire said no local audio device.
- Fresh Community 1.0.190 has no preloaded stings — bring-your-own via Control → Audio → Library → Upload in 03 before Play an audio file. Optional CDN samples: sample-sting-a.wav / sample-sting-b.wav.
- Production story is a network audio device (AES67 / ST2110 / Sonos / garden speaker / console·Q-SYS as available), not a local sound-card ritual. Local Pulse is demo-box validation only.
- Reference: I/O, System.
Steps
- On a headless or Pi-class box (or the same host if you are validating sinks), open I/O / System and confirm network audio devices are listed (
/api/v1/audio/sinks— AES67 / ST2110 / Sonos / garden speaker / console·Q-SYS as available). - Choose your network audio device. Note it on Overview’s I/O strip when online.
- Route the Bits cartwall (and House if you want walk-in beds) into that chosen network sink — same show graph as the browser UI.
- From Action Deck (or Stream Deck), open Bits and fire the tile that plays the file you uploaded in 03.
- Verify the take reaches your network audio device over the network path — not only Local Pulse on the demo box.
- Optional: fire a House cue the same way so walk-in / applause share the sink story.
Drop a Pi on the network, fire House / Bits into a network audio device — same show graph as the browser UI.
