NowSignage CMS is a powerful digital signage platform that enables users to manage and schedule content across multiple screens. However, when it comes to adding music or sound, it is important to note that NowSignage does not support audio playback within the CMS itself. Instead, sound capabilities are entirely dependent on the hardware (screen/media player) being used.
Understanding Audio Playback in Digital Signage
1. NowSignage CMS and Audio Support
- The NowSignage CMS allows you to upload and schedule media content such as videos and images, but it does not handle audio playback.
- Any sound associated with video content must be supported by the screen or media player itself.
- There are no built-in features within NowSignage to adjust, enable, or disable sound.
2. Screen/Media Player Dependency
Whether your screen can play sound depends on the hardware.
- Built-in Speakers: If your screen has built-in speakers, it may be able to play audio from video files uploaded to NowSignage.
- External Audio Outputs: Some digital signage players (e.g., Android or Windows-based devices) allow audio output via HDMI, AUX, or Bluetooth.
- Device-Specific Settings: Some media players may have volume controls or mute settings that need to be configured separately from NowSignage.
