## Detailed Description

Sound can be accessed through QtAudioEngine::AudioEngine::sounds with its unique name and must be defined inside AudioEngine or be added to it using AudioEngine.addSound() if Sound is created dynamically.

      Rectangle {
          color:"white"
          width: 300
          height: 500

          AudioEngine {
              id:audioengine

## Property Documentation

attenuationModel : string

This property specifies which attenuation model this sound will apply.

category : string

This property specifies which AudioCategory this sound belongs to.

name : string

This property holds the name of Sound, must be unique among all sounds and only defined once.

playType : enumeration

This property holds the playType. It can be one of:

- Random - randomly picks up a play variation when playback is triggered
- Sequential - plays each variation in sequence when playback is triggered

The default value is Random.

## Method Documentation

addPlayVariation(PlayVariation playVariation)

Adds the given playVariation to sound. This can be used when the PlayVariation is created dynamically:

      import QtAudioEngine 1.1

      AudioEngine {
          id: engine

          Component.onCompleted: {
              var playVariation = Qt.createQmlObject('import QtAudioEngine 1.1; PlayVariation {}', engine);
              playVariation.sample = "sample";
              playVariation.minPitch = 0.8
              playVariation.maxPitch = 1.1

              var sound = Qt.createQmlObject('import QtAudioEngine 1.1; Sound {}', engine);
              sound.name = "example";
              sound.addPlayVariation(playVariation);
              engine.addSound(sound);
          }
      }

QtAudioEngine::SoundInstance newInstance()

Returns a new SoundInstance.

play(position, velocity, direction, gain, pitch)

Creates a new SoundInstance and starts playing with specified position, velocity, direction, adjusted gain and pitch.

play(position, velocity, gain, pitch)

Creates a new SoundInstance and starts playing with specified position, velocity, adjusted gain and pitch. Direction is set to `"0,0,0"`.

play(position, gain, pitch)

Creates a new SoundInstance and starts playing with specified position, adjusted gain and pitch. Direction and velocity are all set to `"0,0,0"`.

play(position, velocity, direction, gain)

Creates a new SoundInstance and starts playing with specified position, velocity, direction and adjusted gain.

play(position, velocity, gain)

Creates a new SoundInstance and starts playing with specified position, velocity and adjusted gain. Direction is set to `"0,0,0"`.

play(position, gain)

Creates a new SoundInstance and starts playing with specified position and adjusted gain. Direction and velocity are all set to `"0,0,0"`.

play(position, velocity, direction)

Creates a new SoundInstance and starts playing with specified position, velocity and direction.

play(position, velocity)

Creates a new SoundInstance and starts playing with specified position and velocity. Direction is set to `"0,0,0"`.

play(position)

Creates a new SoundInstance and starts playing with specified position. Direction and velocity are all set to `"0,0,0"`.

play(gain, pitch)

Creates a new SoundInstance and starts playing with the adjusted gain and pitch. Position, direction and velocity are all set to `"0,0,0"`.

play(gain)

Creates a new SoundInstance and starts playing with the adjusted gain. Position, direction and velocity are all set to `"0,0,0"`.

play()

Creates a new SoundInstance and starts playing. Position, direction and velocity are all set to `"0,0,0"`.
