Parameter

Description

nDataFlow

Direction in which audio data flows between an audio endpoint device and an application.

Supported values are the following:

Mnemonic Value	Value	Meaning
DEVICE_DATA_FLOW_RENDER	0	Audio rendering stream. Audio data flows from the application to the audio endpoint device, which renders the stream
DEVICE_DATA_FLOW_CAPTURE	1	Audio capture stream. Audio data flows from the audio endpoint device that captures the stream, to the application.

nDeviceIndex

Zero-based index of the audio endpoint device. The total number of audio endpoint devices can be obtained through the CoreAudioDevices.CountGet method.

nJacksCount

Reference that, on return from the method call, will contain the number of jacks associated with the connector of the selected device.

Return value
