(This is the documentation for SDL3, which is the current stable version. SDL2 was the previous version!)
A variable controlling the default audio format.
Defined in <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>
Syntax
#define SDL_HINT_AUDIO_FORMAT "SDL_AUDIO_FORMAT"
If the application doesn't specify the audio format when opening the device, this hint can be used to specify a default format that will be used.
The variable can be set to the following values:
- "U8": Unsigned 8-bit audio
- "S8": Signed 8-bit audio
- "S16LE": Signed 16-bit little-endian audio
- "S16BE": Signed 16-bit big-endian audio
- "S16": Signed 16-bit native-endian audio (default)
- "S32LE": Signed 32-bit little-endian audio
- "S32BE": Signed 32-bit big-endian audio
- "S32": Signed 32-bit native-endian audio
- "F32LE": Floating point little-endian audio
- "F32BE": Floating point big-endian audio
- "F32": Floating point native-endian audio
This hint should be set before an audio device is opened.
Version
This hint is available since SDL 3.1.3.
