how to control the output device of soundsc?

When I use soundsc to play an audio signal, the audio is played through the speakers, even when the headphones are connected.

Other MATLAB sounds (such as errors) are played through the headphones.

How can I get soundsc to use the headphones?

(I recently moved from windows to mac. In windows it was no problem as soundsc used the output device defined by the operating system)

Thanks!

Tom - what happens if you use the audio player? I'm pretty sure that I was able to use headphones (on my Mac) with this player.

It's the same when I use audio player.

I should add that this problem does not always happen, sometimes I can get sound out of my headphones.

I am pretty sure this issue is related to the one described in this post.

This can happen when you plug in headphones after Matlab has been launched.

Running the following command worked for me:

audiodevreset

You can see the list of devices that matlab sees by running:

info = audiodevinfo

and then viewing the struct returned to info variable.

Hi there, this worked for me, thanks!
