Microsoft DirectX 8.1 (C++)

DirectSoundCaptureCreate8

The DirectSoundCaptureCreate8 function creates and initializes an object that supports the IDirectSoundCapture8 interface.

This function creates an object that supports capture effects. Although the older DirectSoundCaptureCreate function can also be used to obtain the IDirectSoundCapture8 interface, the object created by that function cannot be used to create capture buffers that support the IDirectSoundCaptureBuffer8 interface.

Syntax

HRESULT WINAPI DirectSoundCaptureCreate8(
  LPCGUID lpcGUID,
  LPDIRECTSOUNDCAPTURE8 *lplpDSC,
  LPUNKNOWN pUnkOuter
);

Parameters

lpcGUID

Address of the GUID that identifies the sound capture device. The value of this parameter must be one of the GUIDs returned by DirectSoundCaptureEnumerate, or NULL for the default device, or one of the following values.

Value Description
DSDEVID_DefaultCapture System-wide default audio capture device.
DSDEVID_DefaultVoiceCapture Default voice capture device.

lplpDSC

Address of a variable to receive an IDirectSoundCapture8 interface pointer.

pUnkOuter

Address of the controlling object's IUnknown interface for COM aggregation. Must be NULL, because aggregation is not supported.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, it returns DS_OK. If it fails, the return value may be one of the following values.

Return code
DSERR_ALLOCATED
DSERR_INVALIDPARAM
DSERR_NOAGGREGATION
DSERR_OUTOFMEMORY
