✨ al_set_default_mixer ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the al_set_default_mixer(3alleg5) page, straight outta the Allegro 5 API 💖 this is your one-stop shop for swapping out the default mixer, and honestly? iconic behavior.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_set_default_mixer — the Allegro 5 API function that sets your default mixer. that's it, that's the job. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

bool al_set_default_mixer(ALLEGRO_MIXER *mixer)

like. one function. one pointer. she's simple and she's slaying 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — this function sets the default mixer. periodt.

but wait, there's lore. when you call it:

• every sample started with al_play_sample(3alleg5) gets stopped 😭 not paused, not faded out, stopped. gone. bye.
• every sample instance returned by al_lock_sample_id(3alleg5) gets invalidated 💀 so if you were holding onto those, they're not yours anymore, bestie.

and here's the part you actually need to remember: if you're rolling with your own mixer, you gotta call this before al_reserve_samples(3alleg5). like, the order matters. it's giving "sequence is the whole plot" energy 🧚

returns true on success, false on error. that's your vibe check right there — if it comes back false, something went wrong, no cap.
