WASAPI.ListenInputDeviceStart method

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Attaches a given WASAPI capture device to a specific render device, allowing to emulate the "Listen to this device" option available inside the Windows control panel.

 

 

The effect of this method can be canceled through a call to the WASAPI.ListenInputDeviceStop method.

 

Both the given capture and render devices must have been previously started through one between the WASAPI.DeviceStartShared and WASAPI.DeviceStartExcusive methods.

 

This method is only intended for usage with Windows Vista and later versions.

For further details about the use of WASAPI see the WASAPIMan class and the How to manage audio flow through WASAPI tutorial
