BassWasapiBASS_WASAPI_CheckFormat Method (Int32, Int32, Int32, BASSWASAPIFormat)

public static BASSWASAPIFormat BASS_WASAPI_CheckFormat(
	int device,
	int freq,
	int chans,
	BASSWASAPIFormat format
)

Public Shared Function BASS_WASAPI_CheckFormat ( 
	device As Integer,
	freq As Integer,
	chans As Integer,
	format As BASSWASAPIFormat
) As BASSWASAPIFormat

Parameters

device

Type: SystemInt32
The device to use... 0 = first device, -1 = default device, -2 = default input device. BASS_WASAPI_GetDeviceInfo(Int32, BASS_WASAPI_DEVICEINFO) can be used to enumerate the available devices.

freq

Type: SystemInt32
The sample rate to check.

chans

Type: SystemInt32
The number of channels to check... 1 = mono, 2 = stereo, etc.

format

Type: Un4seen.BassWasapiBASSWASAPIFormat
Limit the sample format that is used in exclusive mode. The default is to try 32-bit floating-point, 32-bit integer, 24-bit integer, 16-bit integer, 8-bit integer, in that order. A BASS_WASAPI_FORMAT value (see BASS_WASAPI_INFO) can be used to bypass the formats that precede it in that list.

Return Value

This overload always uses the BASS_WASAPI_EXCLUSIVE flag which will be applied automatically! The format parameter can be used to limit the sample format that is used in exclusive mode.

Call this method prior to BASS_WASAPI_Init(Int32, Int32, Int32, BASSWASAPIInit, Single, Single, WASAPIPROC, IntPtr) in order to make sure the requested format is supported by the Wasapi output device/driver (endpoint).

Shared and exclusive modes may have different sample formats available. Only the "mix format" (available from BASS_WASAPI_GetDeviceInfo(Int32, BASS_WASAPI_DEVICEINFO)) is generally supported in shared mode.
