DirectSoundCaptureCreate8

The DirectSoundCaptureCreate8 function creates and initializes an object that supports the IDirectSoundCapture8 interface. Although the older DirectSoundCaptureCreate function can also be used to obtain the IDirectSoundCapture8 interface, the object created by that function cannot be used to create capture buffers that support the IDirectSoundCaptureBuffer8 interface.

HRESULT DirectSoundCaptureCreate8(
  LPCGUID lpcGUID,
  LPDIRECTSOUNDCAPTURE8 * lplpDSC,
  LPUNKNOWN pUnkOuter
);

Parameters

lpcGUID

Address of the GUID that identifies the sound capture device. The value of this parameter must be one of the GUIDs returned by DirectSoundCaptureEnumerate, or NULL for the default device, or one of the following values.

Value	Description
DSDEVID_DefaultCapture	System-wide default audio capture device.
DSDEVID_DefaultVoiceCapture	Default voice capture device.

lplpDSC

Address of a variable to receive an IDirectSoundCapture8 interface pointer.

pUnkOuter

Address of the controlling object's IUnknown interface for COM aggregation. Must be NULL, because aggregation is not supported.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, it returns DS_OK. If it fails, the return value may be one of the following values.

Remarks

On sound cards that do not support full duplex, this method will fail and return DSERR_ALLOCATED.

Requirements

Header: Declared in Dsound.h.

Import Library: Use Dsound.lib.
