Subject: Trasients when playing silence with Matlab From: "Lopez-Poveda, Enrique A." <ealopezpoveda@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2008 17:00:56 +0100 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Dear friends, Here is a technical question on a problem that is driving us crazy. We want to play sounds from Matlab through an RME Fireface 400 sound card. The problem is that when we play a "silence" interval (array of zeros) we can hear (and even record) a clear transient at the onset of the _silence_ signal. We would very much like to get rid of that onset transient. Any cues as to how to get rid of it? Thank you so much in advance. - Enrique Enrique A.
