Chapter 8: DirectX Audio Programming 101

Overview

Todor Fay

We begin our journey into DirectX Audio programming with a short overview of the technology and a simple application that makes a sound.

Note

Understand that a certain level of programming experience is required to work with DirectX Audio. You should be familiar with C++ and object-oriented programming concepts. Experience in COM is a plus but is not required, since we walk through the parts you need to know. Experience in MFC and Windows programming is valuable as well but, again, not required. Of course, you need a compiler. All programming examples were written and tested in Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.
