FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE

These output types are used with System::setOutput / System::getOutput, to choose which output method to use.

Values

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_AUTODETECT

Picks the best output mode for the platform. This is the default.

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_UNKNOWN

All - 3rd party plugin, unknown. This is for use with System::getOutput only.

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_NOSOUND

All - All calls in this mode succeed but make no sound.

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_WAVWRITER

All - Writes output to fmodoutput.wav by default. Use the 'extradriverdata' parameter in System::init, by simply passing the filename as a string, to set the wav filename.

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_NOSOUND_NRT

All - Non-realtime version of FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_NOSOUND. User can drive mixer with System::update at whatever rate they want.

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_WAVWRITER_NRT

All - Non-realtime version of FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_WAVWRITER. User can drive mixer with System::update at whatever rate they want.

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_DSOUND

Win32/Win64 - DirectSound output. (Default on Windows XP and below)

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_WINMM

Win32/Win64 - Windows Multimedia output.

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_WASAPI

Win - Windows Audio Session API. (Default on Windows Vista and above)

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_ASIO

Win32 - Low latency ASIO 2.0 driver.

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_OSS

Linux/Linux64 - Open Sound System output. (Default on Linux, third preference)

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_ALSA

Linux/Linux64 - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture output. (Default on Linux, second preference if available)

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_ESD

Linux/Linux64 - Enlightment Sound Daemon output.

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_PULSEAUDIO

Linux/Linux64 - PulseAudio output. (Default on Linux, first preference if available)

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_COREAUDIO

Mac - Macintosh CoreAudio output. (Default on Mac)

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_XBOX360

Xbox 360 - Native Xbox360 output. (Default on Xbox 360)

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_PS3

PS3 - Native PS3 output. (Default on PS3)

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_AUDIOTRACK

Android - Java Audio Track output. (Default on Android 2.2 and below)

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_OPENSL

Android - OpenSL ES output. (Default on Android 2.3 and above)

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_WIIU

Wii U - Native Wii U output. (Default on Wii U)

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_AUDIOOUT

PS4/PSVita - Audio Out output. (Default on PS4 and PS Vita)

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_MAX

Maximum number of output types supported.

Remarks

To pass information to the driver when initializing fmod use the extradriverdata parameter in System::init for the following reasons.

FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_WAVWRITER - extradriverdata is a pointer to a char * filename that the wav writer will output to.
FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_WAVWRITER_NRT - extradriverdata is a pointer to a char * filename that the wav writer will output to.
FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_DSOUND - extradriverdata is cast to a HWND type, so that FMOD can set the focus on the audio for a particular window.
FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_PS3 - extradriverdata is a pointer to a FMOD_PS3_EXTRADRIVERDATA struct. This can be found in fmodps3.h.
FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_WII - extradriverdata is a pointer to a FMOD_WII_INFO struct. This can be found in fmodwii.h.
FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_ALSA - extradriverdata is a pointer to a FMOD_LINUX_EXTRADRIVERDATA struct. This can be found in fmodlinux.h.

Currently these are the only FMOD drivers that take extra information. Other unknown plugins may have different requirements.

Note! If FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_WAVWRITER_NRT or FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_NOSOUND_NRT are used, and if the System::update function is being called very quickly (ie for a non realtime decode) it may be being called too quickly for the FMOD streamer thread to respond to. The result will be a skipping/stuttering output in the captured audio.

To remedy this, disable the FMOD Studio streamer thread, and use FMOD_INIT_STREAM_FROM_UPDATE to avoid skipping in the output stream, as it will lock the mixer and the streamer together in the same thread.
