# PHASESoundAsset

A sound resource stored in the asset registry.

## Declaration

```swift
class PHASESoundAsset
```

## Overview

Overview This class wraps source audio data that an app intends to play. The framework requires a mixer to play a sound asset, and sound event nodes like PHASESamplerNodeDefinition combine the asset with a mixer. To provide a sound asset to a sound-event node, refer to the asset by the identifier you pass into the registerSoundAsset(url:identifier:assetType:channelLayout:normalizationMode:) function.
