Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Obtains the latency, expressed in milliseconds, of the given WASAPI device. In order to correctly check the latency, the WASAPI device must have been previously started through one between the WASAPI.RenderDeviceStartExcusive and WASAPI.RenderDeviceStartShared methods.

 

This method is only intended for usage with Windows Vista and later versions.

For further details about the use of WASAPI see the WASAPI object and the How to manage audio playback through WASAPI tutorial.
