# SDL_GetAudioStatus

This function is a legacy means of querying the audio device.

## Header File

Defined in [SDL_audio.h](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/SDL2/include/SDL_audio.h), but apps should _only_ `#include "SDL.h"`!

## Syntax

```c
SDL_AudioStatus SDL_GetAudioStatus(void);

```

## Return Value

Returns the [SDL_AudioStatus](SDL_AudioStatus) of the audio device opened
by [SDL_OpenAudio](SDL_OpenAudio)().

## Remarks

New programs might want to use
[SDL_GetAudioDeviceStatus](SDL_GetAudioDeviceStatus)() instead. This
function is equivalent to calling...

```c
SDL_GetAudioDeviceStatus(1);
```

...and is only useful if you used the legacy
[SDL_OpenAudio](SDL_OpenAudio)() function.

## Version

This function is available since SDL 2.0.0.
