| MCI_STATUS_ITEM | Indicates the dwItem field of the data structure identified by lParam2 contains a constant specifying which status item to obtain. The status item information is returned in the dwReturn field of the data structure. The following additional status constants are defined for digital-video devices: |
| MCI_DGV_STATUS_AUDIO | The dwReturn field returns MCI_ON or MCI_OFF depending on the most recent MCI_SET_AUDIO option for the MCI_SET command. It returns MCI_ON if either or both speakers are enabled, and MCI_OFF otherwise. | |

Some devices can determine this value only while recording audio. This status value has no associated MCI_SET or MCI_SETAUDIO command. This value is related to, but normalized differently from, the wave audio command status level. | |

When used with MCI_DGV_STATUS_RECORD the current frame rate used for recording is returned. When used with both MCI_DGV_STATUS_RECORD and MCI_DGV_STATUS_NOMINAL the nominal frame rate associated with the input video signal is returned. When used with MCI_DGV_STATUS_NOMINAL only, the nominal frame rate associated with the file is returned. In all cases the units are in frames per second times 1000. | |
