waveOutWrite function
The waveOutWrite function sends a data block to the given waveform-audio output device.
Syntax
MMRESULT waveOutWrite(
HWAVEOUT hwo,
LPWAVEHDR pwh,
UINT cbwh
);
Parameters
hwo
Handle to the waveform-audio output device.pwh
Pointer to a WAVEHDR structure containing information about the data block.cbwh
Size, in bytes, of the WAVEHDR structure.
Return value
Returns MMSYSERR_NOERROR if successful or an error otherwise. Possible error values include the following.
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
| MMSYSERR_INVALHANDLE | Specified device handle is invalid. |
| MMSYSERR_NODRIVER | No device driver is present. |
| MMSYSERR_NOMEM | Unable to allocate or lock memory. |
| WAVERR_UNPREPARED | The data block pointed to by the pwh parameter hasn't been prepared. |
Remarks
When the buffer is finished, the WHDR_DONE bit is set in the dwFlags member of the WAVEHDR structure.
The buffer must be prepared with the waveOutPrepareHeader function before it is passed to waveOutWrite. Unless the device is paused by calling the waveOutPause function, playback begins when the first data block is sent to the device.
