Simple question about DSound
Author
Hello developers.
I guess this is very simple, As I allways did with DirectSound, I create the secondary buffers in a PCM Mono. (I''m not sure if you can create stereo buffers).
Well, I''d like to give my new game stereo capabilities.... Of course playing the buffers individualy right or left dependind on its location on the screen. (Like the balance control in my audio amplifier).
I know this can be done, but I think I missed something in documentation....
Please can anyone give me some help?.
Sure it is possible to create stereo buffer ! 
I hope it can help... Here is how I initialize my Sound Manager :
with these delcaration inside the class SoundManager :
LPDIRECTSOUND m_lpDSound;
LPDIRECTSOUNDBUFFER m_lpDSBPrimary;
Then I use another class "Sound" to create my sounds fx, here is how I allocate my buffers :
You can then use the SetPan method of the buffer class to select the position of your sound in the space (left/right....)

HRESULT SoundManager::Init(HWND _hwnd){ HRESULT hr; m_panCenterX = SCREEN_WIDTH/2; m_panCenterY = SCREEN_HEIGHT/2; InitAllVolumes(); hr = DirectSoundCreate(NULL,&m_lpDSound,NULL); CheckFailed(hr,E_FAIL); hr = m_lpDSound->SetCooperativeLevel(_hwnd,DSSCL_EXCLUSIVE); CheckFailed(hr,E_FAIL); hr = m_lpDSound->SetSpeakerConfig(DSSPEAKER_COMBINED(DSSPEAKER_STEREO,DSSPEAKER_GEOMETRY_WIDE)); CheckFailed(hr,E_FAIL); DSBUFFERDESC dsbdesc; ZeroMemory(&dsbdesc,sizeof(DSBUFFERDESC)); dsbdesc.dwSize = sizeof(DSBUFFERDESC); dsbdesc.dwFlags = DSBCAPS_PRIMARYBUFFER; hr = m_lpDSound->CreateSoundBuffer(&dsbdesc,&m_lpDSBPrimary,NULL); CheckFailed(hr,E_FAIL); WAVEFORMATEX wfx; memset(&wfx,0,sizeof(xpWAVEFORMATEX)); wfx.wFormatTag = WAVE_FORMAT_PCM; wfx.nChannels = 2; wfx.nSamplesPerSec = 44100; wfx.wBitsPerSample = 16; wfx.nBlockAlign = wfx.wBitsPerSample / 8 * wfx.nChannels; wfx.nAvgBytesPerSec = wfx.nSamplesPerSec * wfx.nBlockAlign; hr = m_lpDSBPrimary->SetFormat(&wfx); return S_OK;} with these delcaration inside the class SoundManager :
LPDIRECTSOUND m_lpDSound;
LPDIRECTSOUNDBUFFER m_lpDSBPrimary;
Then I use another class "Sound" to create my sounds fx, here is how I allocate my buffers :
LPDIRECTSOUNDBUFFER Sound::AllocBuffer(){ LPDIRECTSOUNDBUFFER lpDSB = NULL; DSBUFFERDESC dsbd; Assert(gSoundManager,"DirectSound is not initialized!"); if (m_loadOK) { ZeroMemory(&dsbd,sizeof(dsbd)); dsbd.dwSize = sizeof(dsbd); dsbd.dwFlags = DSBCAPS_STATIC | DSBCAPS_CTRLPAN | DSBCAPS_CTRLVOLUME; dsbd.dwBufferBytes = m_cbWaveSize; dsbd.dwReserved = 0; dsbd.lpwfxFormat = &m_waveFormat; gSoundManager->GetDirectSound()->CreateSoundBuffer( &dsbd, &lpDSB, NULL); } return lpDSB;} You can then use the SetPan method of the buffer class to select the position of your sound in the space (left/right....)
