waveOutGetDevCaps  ZYA0N 

The waveOutGetDevCaps function retrieves the capabilities of a given waveform-audio output device.

MMRESULT waveOutGetDevCaps(

    UINT uDeviceID,

 

    LPWAVEOUTCAPS pwoc,

 

    UINT cbwoc

 

   );

 

 

Parameters

uDeviceID

Identifier of the waveform-audio output device. It can be either a device identifier or a handle of an open waveform-audio output device.

pwoc

Address of a WAVEOUTCAPS2IOYZJH structure to be filled with information about the capabilities of the device.

cbwoc

Size, in bytes, of the WAVEOUTCAPS structure.

 

Return Values

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

MMSYSERR_BADDEVICEID

Specified device identifier is out of range.

MMSYSERR_NODRIVER

No device driver is present.

MMSYSERR_NOMEM

Unable to allocate or lock memory.

 

Remarks

Use the waveOutGetNumDevs function to determine the number of waveform-audio output devices present in the system. If the value specified by the uDeviceID parameter is a device identifier, it can vary from zero to one less than the number of devices present. The WAVE_MAPPER constant can also be used as a device identifier. Only cbwoc bytes (or less) of information is copied to the location pointed to by pwoc. If cbwoc is zero, nothing is copied and the function returns zero.
