💖 install_sound_input(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Allegro manual ✨ this one's about install_sound_input, aka the moment your program stops just playing sound and starts ✨recording✨ it. main character energy fr.

🌸 NAME 🌸

install_sound_input — boots up the sound recorder module. this is part of the Allegro game programming library, iykyk 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro.h>

int install_sound_input(int digi, int midi);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So like. This function initialises the sound recorder module 💅 and there's a very important prerequisite, so listen up:

You must install the normal sound playback system before calling this routine. no skipping ahead, bestie, it's giving "prereq not met" 😭

The two card parameters — digi and midi — should use the same constants as install_sound(). And that includes:

  • DIGI_NONE and MIDI_NONE — use these to disable parts of the module 🙈
  • DIGI_AUTODETECT and MIDI_AUTODETECT — use these to just let it guess the hardware, lowkey iconic 🧚

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

  • 0 — slay, it worked, success 💖
  • anything else — the machine or driver just doesn't support sound recording, and that's so valid but also so sad 🫶
