Remarks

Obtains the number of subparts, if any, for the given audio endpoint device.

This method is only intended for usage with Windows Vista and later versions: further information about management of audio devices in Windows Vista and later versions can be found inside the How to access settings of audio devices in Windows Vista and later versions tutorial.

Syntax

[Visual Basic]

Public Function PartsCountGet (

enumCoreAudioDataFlows nDataFlow,

Int32 nDeviceIndex,

ref Int32 nCount

);

[C++]

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 render or capture audio endpoint devices can be obtained through the CoreAudioDevices.CountGet method passing DEVICE_DATA_FLOW_RENDER or DEVICE_DATA_FLOW_CAPTURE to the nDataFlow parameter.

nCount

Reference that, on return from the method call, will contain the number of parts for the given audio endpoint device. The returned value is 0 if the requested audio endpoint device.doesn't have any part.

Return value

Value	Meaning

Negative value	An error occurred, check the LastError property value in order to get the error code
enumErrorCodes.ERR_NOERROR (0)	The method call was successful
