IDirectSound3DListener8

The IDirectSound3DListener8 interface is used to retrieve and set parameters that describe a listener's position, orientation, and listening environment in 3D space.

The interface can be obtained by calling the IDirectSoundBuffer8::QueryInterface method on a primary buffer created with the DSBCAPS_CTRL3D flag.

In addition to the methods inherited from IUnknown, the IDirectSound3DListener8 interface exposes the following methods, arranged by category.

Batch Parameters

Method Description
IDirectSound3DListener8::CommitDeferredSettings The CommitDeferredSettings method commits any deferred settings made since the last call to this method.
IDirectSound3DListener8::GetAllParameters The GetAllParameters method retrieves all 3D parameters of the sound environment and the listener.
IDirectSound3DListener8::SetAllParameters The SetAllParameters method sets all 3D parameters of the sound environment and the listener.

Global Sound Properties

Method Description
IDirectSound3DListener8::GetDistanceFactor The GetDistanceFactor method retrieves the distance factor, which is the number of meters in a vector unit.
IDirectSound3DListener8::GetDopplerFactor The GetDopplerFactor method retrieves the multiplier for the Doppler effect.
IDirectSound3DListener8::GetRolloffFactor The GetRolloffFactor method retrieves the rolloff factor, which determines the rate of attenuation over distance.
IDirectSound3DListener8::SetDistanceFactor The SetDistanceFactor method sets the distance factor, which is the number of meters in a vector unit.
IDirectSound3DListener8::SetDopplerFactor The SetDopplerFactor method sets the multiplier for the Doppler effect.
IDirectSound3DListener8::SetRolloffFactor The SetRolloffFactor method sets the rolloff factor, which determines the rate of attenuation over distance.

Listener Properties

Method Description
IDirectSound3DListener8::GetOrientation The GetOrientation method retrieves the orientation of the listener's head.
IDirectSound3DListener8::GetPosition The GetPosition method retrieves the listener's position.
IDirectSound3DListener8::GetVelocity The GetVelocity method retrieves the listener's velocity.
IDirectSound3DListener8::SetOrientation The SetOrientation method sets the orientation of the listener's head.
IDirectSound3DListener8::SetPosition The SetPosition method sets the listener's position.
IDirectSound3DListener8::SetVelocity The SetVelocity method sets the listener's velocity.

The LPDIRECTSOUND3DLISTENER type is defined as a pointer to the IDirectSound3DListener interface:

typedef struct IDirectSound3DListener  *LPDIRECTSOUND3DLISTENER;

Requirements

Header: Declared in Dsound.h.

Import Library: Use Dsound3d.dll.
