Tutorial 2: Using Audiopaths

This tutorial shows how to set up a DirectX Audio application that uses an audiopath other than the default audiopath. It also demonstrates how to set the volume on the audiopath and obtain an object from the audiopath to set parameters. In this case, the object obtained is a DirectSound3DBuffer8 object, which can be used to locate the sound in space.

The tutorial is presented in the following steps:

• Step 1: Create the DirectX Objects
• Step 2: Initialize the Audio Environment
• Step 3: Create the Audiopath
• Step 4: Load a Segment
• Step 5: Download the Band
• Step 6: Play the Sound on the Audiopath
• Step 7: Stop the Sound
• Step 8: Set Audiopath Parameters
• Step 9: Set 3-D Parameters
