Below are some simple examples that show how to play back a multichannel soundfile in HOA b-format and listen to it through headphones. The 3rd order field recordings have been made with the Eigenmike https://mhacoustics.com/products with the kind support ofthe Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology, housed at the Schulich School of Music at McGill University (CIRMMT) http://www.cirmmt.org/ a microphone array with 32 capsules.

In case you have not done so yet: let's start the sound server, which we configure first to get more audio buses and to have 36 output channels.

Start the oscilloscope showing all the channels for the selected order of the B-format.

Let's load some 16 channels 3rd order soundfiles, the filenames indicate the channel ordering as well as the normalization (ACN, N3D):

Let's make a node that can play back the 3rd order HOA sound file.

Let's make the decoder:

And then we connect them:
