## Detailed Description

Represents a type of audio driver, such as DirectSound, ASIO, CoreAudio, etc.

To get a list of available audio driver types, use the AudioDeviceManager::createAudioDeviceTypes() method. Each of the objects returned can then be used to list the available devices of that type. E.g.

OwnedArray<AudioIODeviceType> types;
myAudioDeviceManager.createAudioDeviceTypes (types);
for (int i = 0; i < types.size(); ++i)
{
String typeName (types[i]->getTypeName()); // This will be things like "DirectSound", "CoreAudio", etc.
types[i]->scanForDevices(); // This must be called before getting the list of devices
StringArray deviceNames (types[i]->getDeviceNames()); // This will now return a list of available devices of this type
for (int j = 0; j < deviceNames.size(); ++j)
{
AudioIODevice* device = types[i]->createDevice (deviceNames [j]);
...
}
}
AudioIODeviceType::getTypeName
const String & getTypeName() const noexcept
Returns the name of this type of driver that this object manages.
Definition juce_AudioIODeviceType.h:70
AudioIODeviceType::getDeviceNames
virtual StringArray getDeviceNames(bool wantInputNames=false) const =0
Returns the list of available devices of this type.
AudioIODevice
Base class for an audio device with synchronised input and output channels.
Definition juce_AudioIODevice.h:152
OwnedArray
An array designed for holding objects.
Definition juce_OwnedArray.h:51
OwnedArray::size
int size() const noexcept
Returns the number of items currently in the array.
Definition juce_OwnedArray.h:130
StringArray
A special array for holding a list of strings.
Definition juce_StringArray.h:36
String
The JUCE String class!
Definition juce_String.h:54

For an easier way of managing audio devices and their settings, have a look at the AudioDeviceManager class.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ ~AudioIODeviceType()

virtual AudioIODeviceType::~AudioIODeviceType | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

Destructor.

## ◆ AudioIODeviceType()

AudioIODeviceType::AudioIODeviceType | ( | const String & | typeName | ) |
| explicit protected

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ getTypeName()

const String & AudioIODeviceType::getTypeName | ( |  | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns the name of this type of driver that this object manages.

This will be something like "DirectSound", "ASIO", "CoreAudio", "ALSA", etc.

## ◆ scanForDevices()

virtual void AudioIODeviceType::scanForDevices | ( |  | ) |
| pure virtual

Refreshes the object's cached list of known devices.

This must be called at least once before calling getDeviceNames() or any of the other device creation methods.

## ◆ getDeviceNames()

virtual StringArray AudioIODeviceType::getDeviceNames | ( | bool | wantInputNames = false | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns the list of available devices of this type.

The scanForDevices() method must have been called to create this list.

Parameters

  wantInputNames | for devices which have separate inputs and outputs this determines which list of names is returned

## ◆ getDefaultDeviceIndex()

virtual int AudioIODeviceType::getDefaultDeviceIndex | ( | bool | forInput | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns the name of the default device.

This will be one of the names from the getDeviceNames() list.

Parameters

  forInput | if true, this means that a default input device should be returned; if false, it should return the default output

## ◆ getIndexOfDevice()

virtual int AudioIODeviceType::getIndexOfDevice | ( | AudioIODevice * | device,
|  | bool | asInput ) const
| pure virtual

Returns the index of a given device in the list of device names.

If asInput is true, it shows the index in the inputs list, otherwise it looks for it in the outputs list.

## ◆ hasSeparateInputsAndOutputs()

virtual bool AudioIODeviceType::hasSeparateInputsAndOutputs | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns true if two different devices can be used for the input and output.

## ◆ createDevice()

virtual AudioIODevice * AudioIODeviceType::createDevice | ( | const String & | outputDeviceName,
|  | const String & | inputDeviceName )
| pure virtual

Creates one of the devices of this type.

The deviceName must be one of the strings returned by getDeviceNames(), and scanForDevices() must have been called before this method is used.

## ◆ addListener()

void AudioIODeviceType::addListener | ( | Listener * | listener | ) |

Adds a listener that will be called when this type of device is added or removed from the system.

## ◆ removeListener()

void AudioIODeviceType::removeListener | ( | Listener * | listener | ) |

Removes a listener that was previously added with addListener().

## ◆ createAudioIODeviceType_CoreAudio()

static AudioIODeviceType * AudioIODeviceType::createAudioIODeviceType_CoreAudio | ( |  | ) |
| static

Creates a CoreAudio device type if it's available on this platform, or returns null.

## ◆ createAudioIODeviceType_iOSAudio()

static AudioIODeviceType * AudioIODeviceType::createAudioIODeviceType_iOSAudio | ( |  | ) |
| static

Creates an iOS device type if it's available on this platform, or returns null.

## ◆ createAudioIODeviceType_WASAPI()

static AudioIODeviceType * AudioIODeviceType::createAudioIODeviceType_WASAPI | ( | WASAPIDeviceMode | deviceMode | ) |
| static

Creates a WASAPI device type in the specified mode if it's available on this platform, or returns null.

## ◆ createAudioIODeviceType_DirectSound()

static AudioIODeviceType * AudioIODeviceType::createAudioIODeviceType_DirectSound | ( |  | ) |
| static

Creates a DirectSound device type if it's available on this platform, or returns null.

## ◆ createAudioIODeviceType_ASIO()

static AudioIODeviceType * AudioIODeviceType::createAudioIODeviceType_ASIO | ( |  | ) |
| static

Creates an ASIO device type if it's available on this platform, or returns null.

## ◆ createAudioIODeviceType_ALSA()

static AudioIODeviceType * AudioIODeviceType::createAudioIODeviceType_ALSA | ( |  | ) |
| static

Creates an ALSA device type if it's available on this platform, or returns null.

## ◆ createAudioIODeviceType_JACK()

static AudioIODeviceType * AudioIODeviceType::createAudioIODeviceType_JACK | ( |  | ) |
| static

Creates a JACK device type if it's available on this platform, or returns null.

## ◆ createAudioIODeviceType_Android()

static AudioIODeviceType * AudioIODeviceType::createAudioIODeviceType_Android | ( |  | ) |
| static

Creates an Android device type if it's available on this platform, or returns null.

## ◆ createAudioIODeviceType_OpenSLES()

static AudioIODeviceType * AudioIODeviceType::createAudioIODeviceType_OpenSLES | ( |  | ) |
| static

Creates an Android OpenSLES device type if it's available on this platform, or returns null.

## ◆ createAudioIODeviceType_Oboe()

static AudioIODeviceType * AudioIODeviceType::createAudioIODeviceType_Oboe | ( |  | ) |
| static

Creates an Oboe device type if it's available on this platform, or returns null.

## ◆ createAudioIODeviceType_Bela()

static AudioIODeviceType * AudioIODeviceType::createAudioIODeviceType_Bela | ( |  | ) |
| static

Creates a Bela device type if it's available on this platform, or returns null.

## ◆ callDeviceChangeListeners()

void AudioIODeviceType::callDeviceChangeListeners | ( |  | ) |
| protected

Synchronously calls all the registered device list change listeners.
