DirectSoundCaptureBuffer.ReadBuffer

The DirectSoundCaptureBuffer.ReadBuffer method reads a segment of the sound capture buffer and stores the data into a variable of type Any.

object.ReadBuffer(start As Long, _
    size As Long, _
    buffer As Any, _
    flags As CONST_DSCBLOCKFLAGS)

Parameters

object

Object expression that resolves to a DirectSoundCaptureBuffer object.

start

Offset, in bytes, from the start of the buffer to where the read begins.

size

Size, in bytes, of the portion of the buffer to read. Note that the sound buffer is conceptually circular. This parameter is ignored if DSCBLOCK_ENTIREBUFFER constant is set in the flags argument.

buffer

Variable to hold the data read. Must be the same size as the sound buffer. You must pass the first element of the array.

flags

Pass the following constant of the CONST_DSCBLOCKFLAGS enumeration to modify what is read:

DSCBLOCK_ENTIREBUFFER

Reads the entire buffer. The size parameter is ignored.
