(This is the legacy documentation for SDL2, the previous stable version; SDL3 is the current stable version.)

SDL_GetCurrentAudioDriver

Get the name of the current audio driver.

Header File

Syntax

const char* SDL_GetCurrentAudioDriver(void);

Return Value

(const char *) Returns the name of the current audio driver or NULL if no driver has been initialized.

Remarks

The returned string points to internal static memory and thus never becomes invalid, even if you quit the audio subsystem and initialize a new driver (although such a case would return a different static string from another call to this function, of course). As such, you should not modify or free the returned string.

Version

This function is available since SDL 2.0.0.
