I get these errors along with others

e:\Amp\Tabs\WaveIn.cpp(29): error C2065: 'pcmWaveFormat' : undeclared
identifier
e:\Amp\Tabs\WaveIn.cpp(29): error C2501: 'wReturn' : missing

e:\Amp\Tabs\WaveIn.cpp(20): error C2065: 'pwfx' : undeclared identifier


Hi, new to the group, I'm trying to check to see if a waveformatex
format is supported by my sound card. Everything seems to be working
except for the waveInOpen struct. Any suggestions about the pwfx or
uDeviceDriver or anything? Thanks

I believe this curly brace is what screws you up. It closes the 'main'
function and the following statements are placed _outside_ of any function,
which is not what you wanted.

Thanks now the only error I have is
e:\Amp\Tabs\WaveIn.cpp(20): error C2065: 'pwfx' : undeclared identifier

I believe this points to the pcmwaveformat but not shure.

Undeclared identifier usually is either scoping issue or the result of
a typo. You've got to be able to take care of those on your own.

maybe try to erase definition of WAVEFORMATEX value. create the pointer
LPWAVEFORMATEX pwfx.

this:
pcmWaveFormat.wFormatTag = WAVE_FORMAT_PCM;
(...) You can do the same with pwfx->wFormatTag and so on.

Then function IsFormatSupported() call with pwfx.
Maybe this will help.

Greets,
