When the Audio inside Selected Channel by link order is selected, the user will hear the audio with link order 1 the first time the action is fired, the audio with link order 2 on the second firing, etc. until all audio signals have been heard. On the next firing, the audio monitoring will be muted.

When the Specific Audio is selected, the audio source has to be specified. Choose between Streaming, Embedded and Audio Card, and then fill the fields as done for an Audio Meter Component (see Audio Meter).

When selected for monitoring, the Audio Meter will display an orange border.
