Hello, i need to use borland builder c++ v5 to develop some sample code for
a soundcard, HDSP-9652.  This is a multichannel card, with 4 stereo and 8
mono lines.  the manufacturer says it does not support directx (it is a new
model however) and that i should use what they call WMME, and that this is
doucmented in the windows sdk.  I cannot for the life of me find any
reference to this WMME wich i think stands for windows multi media extention
regarding audio playback.  Can anyone point me in the right direction, of
where i can find this info, or even any vcl components that support it.  It
seems to suggest that this technique predates direct x, so i cant understand
why an internet search returns no hits ?

any suggestions appreciated.

See bellow the reply from the ,manufacturer

thanks

Peter

for your application you don't need anything special. The Microsoft
Windows SDK tells you how to easily play back two channels (stereo) via
MME, the oldest and simplest way to play back audio. This MME support
can be used with 4 x stereo (= 8 channels), or even as 1 x 8 (8 channel
interleave) stream - our driver can use it all.

We do not supply any programming examples - this is part of the MS SDK
and not our job. Ypou do not need to 'control' or speak directly to our
hardware to play back some sounds.

You should not use DirectX. Our drivers do do not support it, so it will
be used as emulated devices. The emulation is prone to big delays
(latency) and bad performance, which might cause clicks or stutter.





Hello, i am just begining a project that requires the use of the HDSP-9652
used with a AEB8-0 analog expansion board, for a setup where in a room there
are 8 speakers around a user.

I need to find programing information that will let we program this card, so
that i can direct sounds to specific speakers and channels, and attenuate
sounds as objects move around on a computer screen.

Can anyone direct me to a source of programinf information for this unit ?

thanks in advance
