IAudioChannelConfig interface (devicetopology.h)

The IAudioChannelConfig interface provides access to a hardware channel-configuration control. The client obtains a reference to the IAudioChannelConfig interface of a subunit by calling the IPart::Activate method with parameter refiid set to REFIID IID_IAudioChannelConfig. The call to IPart::Activate succeeds only if the subunit supports the IAudioChannelConfig interface. Only a subunit object that represents a hardware channel-configuration control will support this interface.

A client of the IAudioChannelConfig interface programs a hardware channel-configuration control by writing a channel-configuration mask to the control. The mask specifies the assignment of audio channels to speakers. For more information about channel-configuration masks, see KSPROPERTY_AUDIO_CHANNEL_CONFIG.

Most Windows audio adapter drivers support the Windows Driver Model (WDM) and use kernel-streaming (KS) properties to represent the hardware control parameters in subunits (referred to as KS nodes). The IAudioChannelConfig interface provides convenient access to the KSPROPERTY_AUDIO_CHANNEL_CONFIG property of a subunit that has a subtype GUID value of KSNODETYPE_3D_EFFECTS, KSNODETYPE_DAC, KSNODETYPE_VOLUME, or KSNODETYPE_PROLOGIC_DECODER. To obtain the subtype GUID of a subunit, call the IPart::GetSubType method. For more information about KS properties and KS node types, see the Windows DDK documentation.
