===Computer applications and other applications=== Sound is widely used in a variety of [[human–computer interface]]s, in [[computer game]]s and [[video game]]s.<ref>{{cite conference | first1 = Viviane | last1 = Gal | first2 = Cécile | last2 = Le Prado | first3 = J.

For example, most computational resources are usually devoted to graphics. Audio production should account for computational limits for sound playback with audio compression or voice allocating systems. Sound design for [[video games]] requires proficient knowledge of audio recording and editing using a [[digital audio workstation]], and an understanding of game audio integration using audio engine software, audio authoring tools, or middleware to integrate audio into the game engine. Audio middleware is a third-party toolset that sits between the game engine and the audio hardware. <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.yannisbrown.com/about-audio-middleware/|title=About Audio Middleware|date=9 March 2016 |access-date=January 6, 2022|archive-date=May 30, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210530213513/https://www.yannisbrown.com/about-audio-middleware/|url-status=live}}</ref> Interactivity with computer sound can involve using a variety of playback systems or logic, using tools that allow the production of interactive sound (e.g. Max/MSP, Wwise). Implementation might require software or electrical engineering of the systems that modify sound or process user input. In interactive applications, a sound designer often collaborates with an engineer (e.g. a sound programmer) who's concerned with designing the playback systems and their efficiency.
