# AudioChannels

The number of channels that Media Server should request from your License Server for audio analysis.

For more information about allocating channels, see Channels Configuration Parameters.

This parameter affects the maximum number of `process` actions (that include audio analysis) that can run simultaneously. For example, if you set `AudioChannels=3`, Media Server can run up to three `process` actions that include audio analysis at the same time. If a `process` action requests audio analysis and a channel is not available, the `process` action will fail. To ensure that `process` actions do not fail as a result of insufficient audio channels being available, set this parameter to the number of `process` actions that your Media Server is configured to run simultaneously.

Type: | Integer
Default: | Media Server can request channels as required, up to the maximum available in your license. This default value is suitable for a single Media Server, but if you are running multiple instances of Media Server, OpenText recommends that you set this parameter in each Media Server configuration file and choose the number of channels to use. Otherwise, a single Media Server could consume all of the available channels.
Required: | Required to analyze audio
