CONST_DSCAPSFLAGS

The CONST_DSCAPSFLAGS enumeration is used in the lFlags member of the DSCAPS type for specific device capabilities.

DSCAPS_CERTIFIED

This driver has been tested and certified by Microsoft.

DSCAPS_CONTINUOUSRATE

The device supports all sample rates between the lMinSecondarySampleRate and lMaxSecondarySampleRate member values. Typically, this means that the actual output rate will be within +/- 10 hertz (Hz) of the requested frequency.

DSCAPS_EMULDRIVER

The device does not have a DirectSound driver installed, so it is being emulated through the waveform-audio functions. Performance degradation should be expected.

DSCAPS_PRIMARY16BIT

The device supports primary sound buffer with 16-bit samples.

DSCAPS_PRIMARY8BIT

The device supports primary buffers with 8-bit samples.

DSCAPS_PRIMARYMONO

The device supports monophonic primary buffers.

DSCAPS_PRIMARYSTEREO

The device supports stereo primary buffers.

DSCAPS_SECONDARY16BIT

The device supports hardware-mixed secondary sound buffers with 16-bit samples.

DSCAPS_SECONDARY8BIT

The device supports hardware-mixed secondary buffers with 8-bit samples.

DSCAPS_SECONDARYMONO

The device supports hardware-mixed monophonic secondary buffers.

DSCAPS_SECONDARYSTEREO

The device supports hardware-mixed stereo secondary buffers.
