#directsound — Public Fediverse posts

Been using PortAudio to handle audio stuff in a cross platform C++ app and it’s pretty easy to use. All three platforms work ok, but on Windows I can only get PA working when using DirectSound, not WASAPI. Whatever I try the PA errors out when starting the stream with some deep Win32 error that’s too generic to be actionable. Is Windows development always this awful? On Linux and Mac everything worked more or less directly as it should. Never on Windows.

I was barely 21, libvorbis had reached 1.0, and I wrote a single 1'449'984 EXE file that played The Kids Aren't Alright by The Offspring from an embedded resource.

A song on a floppy.
