Primary sound buffer

Hi everybody!

I recently had problems with sound (explained in this topic)
Well, after some researches I found out I could solve it, but I need the pointer to the primary sound buffer. The code probably looks like this:

Code: Select all

*DD.IDirectDrawSurface7
!EXTRN _PB_DirectX_PrimaryBuffer
!MOV eax,[_PB_DirectX_PrimaryBuffer]
!MOV [p_DD],eax

In that case that retrieves the pointer to the screen's front buffer, which is not what I want. I just wanted to know what's the name of the pointer that PB uses for the sound buffer. Please give me some help!

Can you please tell me how to compile this in 4.10? it won't compile at all. I'd like to help but I don't even know how you got to this code to begin with.

If you make some search in how to get pointers to the DirectX objects that PureBasic uses, you will find some pieces of code like this. This one I posted puts the pointer to the primary video buffer in *DD. It won't work if you haven't initialized the screen yet (InitSprite(), OpenScreen() and so on).
