    IG_mult_audio_format_set
    In This Topic

    This function sets the format of the audio to be retrieved from a multimedia instance.

    Declaration:

     
    Copy Code
    AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_mult_audio_format_set(
            HIGMULT hMult, 
            LPAT_UINT lpSampleRate, 
            LPAT_UINT lpBitsPerSample, 
            LPAT_UINT lpChannels 
    );
    

    Arguments:

    Name Type Description
    hMult HIGMULT Multimedia instance handle.
    lpSampleRate LPAT_UINT Number of samples per second.
    lpBitsPerSample LPAT_UINT Number of bits per sample.
    lpChannels LPAT_UINT Number of channels (1 = mono, 2 = stereo).

    Return Value:

    Returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call. If there are no errors, the return value is IGE_SUCCESS.

    Supported Raster Image Formats:

    This function does not process image pixels.

    Sample:

    Media Player

    Example:

     
    Copy Code
    /* Ask for 44100Hz 16-bit stereo audio */
    AT_ERRCOUNT nErrcount;       /* Number of errors on stack */
    HIGMULT hMult;               /* Multimedia instance handle */
    AT_UINT nSampleRate = 44100; /* Sample rate of audio */
    AT_UINT nBitsPerSample = 16; /* Bits per sample */
    AT_UINT nChannels = 2;       /* Number of channels */
    nErrcount = IG_mult_audio_format_set(hMult, &nSampleRate, &nBitsPerSample, &nChannels);
    

    Remarks:

    This is not a necessary step under normal circumstances. If possible, the audio will be converted to the format you specify as it is retrieved using IG_mult_audio_get(). If conversion is not possible, an error will occur.
