NAME¶

SDL_SetAudioStreamOutputChannelMap - Set the current output channel map of an audio stream.

HEADER FILE¶

Defined in SDL3/SDL_audio.h

SYNOPSIS¶

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

bool SDL_SetAudioStreamOutputChannelMap(SDL_AudioStream *stream, const int *chmap, int count);

DESCRIPTION¶

Channel maps are optional; most things do not need them, instead passing data in the [order that SDL expects](CategoryAudio#channel-layouts).

The output channel map reorders data that leaving a stream via

SDL_GetAudioStreamData .

Each item in the array represents an output channel, and its value is the channel that it should be remapped to. To reverse a stereo signal's left and right values, you'd have an array of {1,0} . It is legal to remap multiple channels to the same thing, so {1,1} would duplicate the right channel to both channels of a stereo signal. You cannot change the number of channels through a channel map, just reorder them.

The output channel map can be changed at any time, as output remapping is applied during SDL_GetAudioStreamData .

Audio streams default to no remapping applied. Passing a NULL channel map is legal, and turns off remapping.

SDL will copy the channel map; the caller does not have to save this array after this call.

If count is not equal to the current number of channels in the audio stream's format, this will fail. This is a safety measure to make sure a a race condition hasn't changed the format while you this call is setting the channel map.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS¶

stream

the SDL_AudioStream
to change.

chmap

the new channel map, NULL to reset to default.

count

The number of channels in the map.

RETURN VALUE¶

Returns true on success or false on failure; call

SDL_GetError () for more information.

THREAD SAFETY¶

It is safe to call this function from any thread, as it holds a stream-specific mutex while running. Don't change the stream's format to have a different number of channels from a a different thread at the same time, though!

AVAILABILITY¶

This function is available since SDL 3.1.3.
