This function sends a data block to the specified waveform output device.

MMRESULT waveOutWrite(HWAVEOUT hwo,LPWAVEHDRpwh,UINTcbwh );

Parameters

  • hwo
    Handle to the waveform-audio output device.
  • pwh
    Pointer to a WAVEHDR structure containing information about the data block.
  • cbwh
    Size, in bytes, of the WAVEHDR structure.

Return Values

One of the values described in the following table is returned.

Value Description
MMSYSERR_NOERROR Success.
MMSYSERR_INVALHANDLE Specified device handle is invalid.
MMSYSERR_NODRIVER No device driver is present.
MMSYSERR_NOMEM Unable to allocate or lock memory.
WAVERR_UNPREPARED Data block pointed to by the pwh parameter has not been prepared.
WAVERR_BADFORMAT Unsupported wave format.
WAVERR_STILLPLAYING The waveform output device is still playing some other data.
WAVERR_UNPREPARED The wave header is not prepared.

Remarks

When the buffer is finished, the WHDR_DONE bit is set in the dwFlags member of the WAVEHDR structure.

The buffer must be prepared with the waveOutPrepareHeader function before it is passed to waveOutWrite. Unless the device is paused by calling the waveOutPause function, playback begins when the first data block is sent to the device.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE 2.0 and later.
Header: Mmsystem.h.
Link Library: Coredll.lib.
