Return Value
GVTrue if the device was started succesfully.
Parameters
- device
- [in] The handle to the device.
- type
- [in] Specifies capture, playback, or both.
Remarks
Once a device has been initialized, it is ready to start capturing or playing audio. After a capture device is started, it will begin capturing audio and passing it back to the application. After a playback device is started, it will play any audio that the application passes it. To start a device, use gvStartDevice.
The device parameter is the handle of the device to start. The type parameter specifies if the device should start capturing (GV_CAPTURE), playing (GV_PLAYBACK), or capturing and playing (GV_CAPTURE_AND_PLAYBACK). For devices that support both capture and playback, each can be started independently. The function will return GVTrue if the device was started successfully, and it will return GVFalse if there was an error.
