waveOutGetID

The waveOutGetID function retrieves the device identifier for the given waveform-audio output device.

This function is supported for backward compatibility. New applications can cast a handle of the device rather than retrieving the device identifier.

MMRESULT waveOutGetID(
  HWAVEOUT hwo,      
  LPUINT puDeviceID  
);

Parameters

hwo
Handle of the waveform-audio output device.
puDeviceID
Address of a variable to be filled with the device identifier.

Return Values

Returns MMSYSERR_NOERROR if successful or an error otherwise. Possible error values include the following:

Value Description
MMSYSERR_INVALHANDLE The hwo parameter specifies an invalid handle.
MMSYSERR_NODRIVER No device driver is present.
MMSYSERR_NOMEM Unable to allocate or lock memory.
