Using Effects


Microsoft DirectSound provides support for effects processing of sounds by Microsoft DirectX Media Objects (DMOs).

All the standard DMOs except Waves reverberation can process 8-bit or 16-bit Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) data with one or two channels at any sample rate supported by DirectSound. Waves reverberation does not support 8-bit samples.

The following topics contain information on setting up and using effects.
