Send Feedback

This function cleans up the preparation performed by waveOutPrepareHeader. The function must be called after the device driver is finished with a data block. You must call this function before freeing the data buffer.

MMRESULT waveOutUnprepareHeader(HWAVEOUThwo,LPWAVEHDRpwh,UINTcbwh );

Parameters

  • hwo
    Handle to the waveform-audio output device.
  • pwh
    Pointer to a WAVEHDR structure identifying the data block to be cleaned up.
  • cbwh
    Size, in bytes, of the WAVEHDR structure.

Return Values

One of the values described in the following table is returned.

Value Description
MMSYSERR_NOERROR Success.
MMSYSERR_INVALHANDLE Specified device handle is invalid.
MMSYSERR_NODRIVER No device driver is present.
MMSYSERR_NOMEM Unable to allocate or lock memory.
WAVERR_STILLPLAYING Data block pointed to by the pwh parameter is still in the queue.

Remarks

This function complements waveOutPrepareHeader. You must call this function before freeing the buffer. After passing a buffer to the device driver with the waveOutWrite function, you must wait until the driver is finished with the buffer before calling waveOutUnprepareHeader.

Unpreparing a buffer that has not been prepared has no effect, and the function returns zero.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE 2.0 and later.
Header: Mmsystem.h.
