int PaWasapi_GetDeviceDefaultFormat ( void *  pFormat,
unsigned int  formatSize,
PaDeviceIndex  device 
)

Get default audio format for the device in Shared Mode.

Format is represented by PaWinWaveFormat or WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE structure and obtained by getting the device property with a PKEY_AudioEngine_DeviceFormat key.

Parameters

Get the jack description associated with a WASAPI device and jack number.

Before this function is called, use PaWasapi_GetJackCount to determine the number of jacks associated with device. If jcount is greater than zero, then each jack from 0 to jcount can be queried with this function to get the jack description.

Note
Not available on UWP platform.
Parameters
deviceDevice index.
jackIndexJack index.
pJackDescriptionPointer to PaWasapiJackDescription.
Returns
Error code indicating success or failure.
See Also
PaWasapi_GetJackCount

0 - Not loopback, 1 - Loopback, negative - PaErrorCode.

Parameters
deviceDevice index.
Returns
Non-negative value indicating loopback state or, a PaErrorCode (which is always negative) if PortAudio is not initialized or an error is encountered.
PaError PaWasapi_SetStreamStateHandler ( PaStream pStream,
PaWasapiStreamStateCallback  fnStateHandler,

Use it for Blocking Interface only inside the thread which makes calls to Pa_WriteStream/Pa_ReadStream.

Parameters
pTaskHandle to pointer to priority task. Must be used with PaWasapi_RevertThreadPriority method to revert thread priority to initial state.
priorityClassId of thread priority of PaWasapiThreadPriority type. Specifying eThreadPriorityNone does nothing.
Returns
Error code indicating success or failure.
See Also
PaWasapi_RevertThreadPriority
PaError PaWasapi_ThreadPriorityRevert ( void *  pTask)

Boost thread priority of calling thread (MMCSS).

Use it for Blocking Interface only inside the thread which makes calls to Pa_WriteStream/Pa_ReadStream.

Parameters
pTaskTask handle obtained by PaWasapi_BoostThreadPriority method.
Returns
Error code indicating success or failure.
See Also
PaWasapi_BoostThreadPriority
PaError PaWasapi_UpdateDeviceList ( )

Update device list.

This function is available if PA_WASAPI_MAX_CONST_DEVICE_COUNT is defined during compile time with maximum constant WASAPI device count (recommended value - 32). If PA_WASAPI_MAX_CONST_DEVICE_COUNT is set to 0 (or not defined) during compile time the implementation will not define PaWasapi_UpdateDeviceList() and thus updating device list can only be possible by calling Pa_Terminate() and then Pa_Initialize().

Returns
Error code indicating success or failure.
PaError PaWasapiWinrt_PopulateDeviceList ( const unsigned short **  pId,
const unsigned short **  pName,
const PaWasapiDeviceRole *  pRole,
unsigned int  count,
int  bOutput 
)

Populate the device list.

By default the implementation will rely on DEVINTERFACE_AUDIO_RENDER and DEVINTERFACE_AUDIO_CAPTURE as default devices. If device Id is provided by PaWasapiWinrt_SetDefaultDeviceId() then those device Ids will be used as default and only devices for the device list.

By populating the device list you can provide an additional available audio devices of the system to PA which are obtainable by: Windows::Devices::Enumeration::DeviceInformation::FindAllAsync(selector) where selector is obtainable by Windows::Media::Devices::MediaDevice::GetAudioRenderSelector() or Windows::Media::Devices::MediaDevice::GetAudioCaptureSelector() API.

After the call completes, memory referenced by pointers can be freed, as implementation keeps its own copy.

You must call PaWasapi_UpdateDeviceList() to update the internal device list of the implementation after calling this function.

See an example in the IMPORTANT notes.

Note
UWP/WinRT platform only.
Parameters
pIdArray of device Ids, pointer to the array of pointers of 16-bit Unicode string (WCHAR). If NULL and count is also 0 then device Ids will be reset to the default. Required.
pNameArray of device Names, pointer to the array of pointers of 16-bit Unicode string (WCHAR). Optional.
pRoleArray of device Roles, see PaWasapiDeviceRole and PaWasapi_GetDeviceRole() for more details. Optional.
countNumber of devices, the number of array elements (pId, pName, pRole). Maximum count of devices is limited by PA_WASAPI_DEVICE_MAX_COUNT.
bOutputTRUE (1) for output (render), FALSE (0) for input (capture).
Returns
Error code indicating success or failure. Will return paIncompatibleStreamHostApi if library is not compiled for UWP/WinRT platform. If Id is longer than PA_WASAPI_DEVICE_ID_LEN characters paBufferTooBig will be returned. If Name is longer than PA_WASAPI_DEVICE_NAME_LEN characters paBufferTooBig will be returned.
PaError PaWasapiWinrt_SetDefaultDeviceId ( const unsigned short *  pId,
int  bOutput 
)

Set default device Id.

By default implementation will use the DEVINTERFACE_AUDIO_RENDER and DEVINTERFACE_AUDIO_CAPTURE Ids if device Id is not provided explicitly. These default Ids will not allow to use Exclusive mode on UWP/WinRT platform and thus you must provide device Id explicitly via this API before calling the Pa_OpenStream().

Device Ids on UWP platform are obtainable via: Windows::Media::Devices::MediaDevice::GetDefaultAudioRenderId() or Windows::Media::Devices::MediaDevice::GetDefaultAudioCaptureId() API.

After the call completes, memory referenced by pointers can be freed, as implementation keeps its own copy.

Call this function before calling Pa_IsFormatSupported() when Exclusive mode is requested.

See an example in the IMPORTANT notes.

Note
UWP/WinRT platform only.
Parameters
pIdDevice Id, pointer to the 16-bit Unicode string (WCHAR). If NULL then device Id will be reset to the default, e.g. DEVINTERFACE_AUDIO_RENDER or DEVINTERFACE_AUDIO_CAPTURE.
bOutputTRUE (1) for output (render), FALSE (0) for input (capture).
Returns
Error code indicating success or failure. Will return paIncompatibleStreamHostApi if library is not compiled for UWP/WinRT platform. If Id is longer than PA_WASAPI_DEVICE_ID_LEN characters paBufferTooBig will be returned.
