Very basic question regarding signal generation and sound output

[jmcoreymv]

I just started trying to learn how to use Labview and I wanted to do something very basic so I hooked a the Express Signal Generator up the Express Sound Output.  I can hear the tone correctly, but instead of it being a continuous tone like it is in the example programs, it is like pulsed, and I can make the pulses longer by increasing the number of samples in the Signal Generator, but making it longer than 5 seconds worth generates warnings.    How can I make it continuous?

Also I tried running the output of the signal generator through a low-pass equiripple filter, and then running the output of the filter to the speaker, and I am getting a 4803 error.  Any ideas?

Have a look at some of the shipping examples, for example "Generate Sound.vi".

That's the example I was looking at but they don't use the express functions in it.  I do have it set to continuous generation mode which I thought would make it work though.

jmcoreymv,

According to the help for the express vi, the sound task is started and stop upon each execution. That's why you hear the stuttering effect. In order to get continuous sound, you're going to have to use the primitive vis as demonstrated in Example Finder.
