IAudioSessionControl::GetGroupingParam

The GetGroupingParam method retrieves the grouping parameter of the audio session.

HRESULT GetGroupingParam(
  GUID  *pRetVal
);

Parameters

pRetVal

[out]  Output pointer for the grouping-parameter GUID. This parameter must be a valid, non-NULL pointer to a caller-allocated GUID variable. The method writes the grouping parameter into this variable.

Return Value

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, possible return codes include, but are not limited to, the values shown in the following table.

Return code Description
E_POINTER Parameter pRetVal is NULL.
AUDCLNT_E_DEVICE_INVALIDATED The audio endpoint device has been unplugged, or the audio hardware or associated hardware resources have been reconfigured, disabled, removed, or otherwise made unavailable for use.
AUDCLNT_E_SERVICE_NOT_RUNNING The Windows audio service is not running.

Remarks

All of the audio sessions that have the same grouping parameter value are under the control of the same volume-level slider in the system volume-control program, Sndvol. For more information, see Grouping Parameters.

A client can call the IAudioSessionControl::SetGroupingParam method to change the grouping parameter of a session.

If a client has never called SetGroupingParam to assign a grouping parameter to an audio session, the session's grouping parameter value is GUID_NULL by default and a call to GetGroupingParam retrieves this value. A grouping parameter value of GUID_NULL indicates that the session does not belong to any grouping. In that case, the session has its own volume-level slider in the Sndvol program.

Requirements

Client: Windows Vista

Header: Include Audiopolicy.h.
