-- let's store the current volume for the linked sound into a variable
local soundVol = getSoundProperty(soundID, "volume")

-- let's store the current audio balance for the linked sound into a variable
local soundBal = getSoundProperty(soundID, "balance")

local soundOffset = getSoundProperty(soundID, "offset")

-- let's store the duration of the linked sound into a variable
local soundDur = getSoundProperty(soundID, "duration")

--let's check if the linked sound is playing & store the result into a variable
local soundPlaying = getSoundProperty(soundID, "playing")

--let's check if the linked sound is paused & store the result into a variable
local soundPaused = getSoundProperty(soundID, "paused")

--let's check if the linked sound is looping & store the result into a variable
local soundLoop = getSoundProperty(soundID, "loop")

-- let's print the sound properties to the log
print("volume=" .. soundVol .. ", balance=" .. soundBal .. ", offset=" .. soundOffset .. ", duration=" .. soundDur .. ", is playing=" .. soundPlaying .. ", is paused=" .. soundPaused .. ", is looping=" .. soundLoop)
