IDirectSound3DBuffer8::GetConeOutsideVolume

The GetConeOutsideVolume method retrieves the volume of the sound outside the outside angle of the sound projection cone.

Syntax

HRESULT GetConeOutsideVolume(
  LPLONG plConeOutsideVolume 
);

Parameters

plConeOutsideVolume

Address of a variable that receives the cone outside volume for this buffer.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, the return value is DS_OK.

If the method fails, the return value may be DSERR_INVALIDPARAM.

Remarks

Volume levels are expressed as attenuation, in hundredths of a decibel. Allowable values are between DSBVOLUME_MAX (no attenuation) and DSBVOLUME_MIN (silence). The default value is DS3D_DEFAULTCONEOUTSIDEVOLUME (no attenuation). These values are defined in Dsound.h. DirectSound does not support amplification.

Requirements

  Header: Declared in dsound.h.
