Use this function to return the number of built in audio devices.
Contents
Syntax
int SDL_GetNumAudioDevices(int iscapture)
Function Parameters
iscapture |
non-0 to specify a device that has recording capability |
Return Value
Returns the number of available devices exposed by the current driver or -1 if an explicit list of devices can't be determined.
green
Returns the number of available devices exposed by the current driver or a negative error code on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information. See Remarks for details.
Code Examples
int i, count = SDL_GetNumAudioDevices(0);
for ( i = 0; i < count; ++i ) {
printf("Audio device %d: %s\n", i, SDL_GetAudioDeviceName(i, 0));
}
Remarks
This function is only valid after successfully initializing the audio subsystem.
green
Returning -1 is not an error. For example, if SDL is set up to talk to a remote audio server, it can't list every one available on the Internet, but it will still allow a specific host to be specified in SDL_OpenAudioDevice().
In many common cases, when this function returns a value <= 0, it can still successfully open the default device (NULL for first argument of SDL_OpenAudioDevice()).
