DirectSound Return Values

This section provides a brief explanation of the various error codes that can be returned by DirectSound methods. For a partial list of the specific codes that each method can return, see the individual method descriptions.

Note   The lists of error codes in method descriptions are not necessarily comprehensive. Applications should always check for method failure and not just for specific codes. For example, most methods can return DSERR_NODRIVER if the driver is removed while the application is running, or DSERR_OUTOFMEMORY if no more memory is available for operations.

Error codes are presented in the following sections:

• DirectSound Return Values by Number
• DirectSound Return Values by Name
