IDirectSound3DBuffer8::GetMode

The GetMode method retrieves the operation mode for 3D sound processing.

HRESULT GetMode(
  LPDWORD pdwMode
);

Parameters

pdwMode

Address of a variable that receives the mode setting. This value will be one of those in the following table.

Value	Description
DS3DMODE_DISABLE	Processing of 3D sound is disabled. The sound seems to originate from the center of the listener's head.
DS3DMODE_HEADRELATIVE	Sound parameters (position, velocity, and orientation) are relative to the listener's parameters. In this mode, the absolute parameters of the sound are updated automatically as the listener's parameters change, so that the relative parameters remain constant.
DS3DMODE_NORMAL	Normal processing. This is the default mode.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, the return value is DS_OK. If the method fails, the return value may be DSERR_INVALIDPARAM.
