quad speakers 4 mono sounds - each directed to different speaker dkat 10/14/2008 2:24:07 PM Is this possible or do I have to mix the sounds myself into a single quad sound? I can't believe that DirectX would not have a means of directing a single file to a specific speaker. With Stereo you can open a mono file and simple set the balance. It seems you should be able to do something similar but also indicate front or back speaker. So far nothing I have tried has worked.

This is not the correct group for such a question (unless you are using WindowsMediaPlayer) which instead belongs to microsoft.public.win32.programmer.mmedia (if you are using waveOut or PlaySound or WASAPI) or microsoft.public.win32.programmer.directx.audio (if you are using DirectSound or DirectShow or MediaFoundation). You should post more details about what API you are using and how. Have you tried using a WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE instead of a PCMWAVEFORMAT? -- // Alessandro Angeli // MVP :: DirectShow / MediaFoundation // mvpnews at riseoftheants dot com // http://www.riseoftheants.com/mmx/faq.htm

DirectX has several ways to play audio: DirectSound, DirectMusic, DirectShow, XACT. As I wrote before, the microsoft.public.win32.programmer.directx.audio group is more appropriate for questions about DirectX audio (Followup-To set to that group). -- // Alessandro Angeli // MVP :: DirectShow / MediaFoundation // mvpnews at riseoftheants dot com // http://www.riseoftheants.com/mmx/faq.htm
