From: "Marc Sillinger" <marctiti@xxxxxxxx> > could anyone advise about a standard off-the-shelf > adapater that allows DSoundBuffer creation with > DSBCAPS_LOCHARDWARE ? Not sure what you mean by "adapater", but most sound cards, many motherboard audio solutions and, increasingly, USB audio devices expose DirectSound acceleration and allow buffers to be created with DSBCAPS_LOCHARDWARE. If you are in any doubt before purchasing a sound card then look to see who provides the driver/audio technology. If it is any one of the wide variety of devices that uses Sensaura then you will be OK. If it is a Creative Labs soundcard or a Philips card using QSound technology then again you will be OK (not sure about USB devices from Creative or Philips though). ===================================================================== Pete Clare | Telephone: +44 20 8848 6521 Sensaura | Facsimile: +44 20 8848 6565 Dawley Road, Hayes | Email: pclare@xxxxxxxxxxxx Middlesex UB3 1HH | WWW: http://www.sensaura.com/ UNITED KINGDOM | http://www.gamecoda.com/ ===================================================================== ****************** WDMAUDIODEV addresses: Post message: mailto:wdmaudiodev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subscribe: mailto:wdmaudiodev-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=subscribe Unsubscribe: mailto:wdmaudiodev-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe Moderator: mailto:wdmaudiodev-moderators@xxxxxxxxxxxxx URL to WDMAUDIODEV page: http://www.wdmaudiodev.de/
