Speaker Configuration

  • Article

DirectSound uses the speaker configuration — that is, the position of the speakers relative to the listener — to optimize 3-D effects for the user's sound system.

The speaker configuration can be set with IDirectSound::SetSpeakerConfig and can be retrieved with IDirectSound::GetSpeakerConfig. The GetSpeakerConfig property simply returns a default value or the last value you set with SetSpeakerConfig.

In Windows 98 and Windows 2000, the speaker configuration can be set by the user in Control Panel. An application can retrieve this value by using IDirectSound::GetSpeakerConfig and override it by calling IDirectSound::SetSpeakerConfig.

In Windows 95 and Windows CE, GetSpeakerConfig simply returns a default value or the last value you set with SetSpeakerConfig.
