VR Mixer ActiveX
Properties
Events
Access and Control of Playback and Recording lines is achieved through
selection of the source line of specified type (Microphone, Line In etc.). Many
mixers support Multiplexer (MUX) for recording line - choosing one of several
sources, as well as Mixertype for playback line - mixing several sources
together, therefore these are correctly supported in any combination or
platform.
RetainValues is a quite useful feature to optionally keep specified
properties (Volume, Mute and Selection) unchanged while application is running,
even when other process makes attempt to change them.
Another feature is to reflect whether Full Duplex is actually supported with
the current mixer. It's not impossible when hardware (sound card) supports Full
Duplex while driver does not, or vise versa. FullDuplexSupport property is True
when both hardware and software support it, and therefore it's possible to
record and playback at the same time.
VRMixer ActiveX supports the following properties:
When feature is unavailable, it is indicated by property value -1.
