IAudioSessionControl interface

The IAudioSessionControl interface enables a client to configure the control parameters for an audio session and to monitor events in the session. The IAudioClient::Initialize method initializes a stream object and assigns the stream to an audio session. The client obtains a reference to the IAudioSessionControl interface on a stream object by calling the IAudioClient::GetService method with parameter riid set to REFIID IID_IAudioSessionControl.

Alternatively, a client can obtain the IAudioSessionControl interface of an existing session without having to first create a stream object and add the stream to the session. Instead, the client calls the IAudioSessionManager::GetAudioSessionControl method with parameter AudioSessionGuid set to the session GUID.

The client can register to receive notification from the session manager when clients change session parameters through the methods in the IAudioSessionControl interface.

When releasing an IAudioSessionControl interface instance, the client must call the interface's Release method from the same thread as the call to IAudioClient::GetService that created the object.

The IAudioSessionControl interface controls an audio session. An audio session is a collection of shared-mode streams. This interface does not work with exclusive-mode streams.

For a code example that uses the IAudioSessionControl interface, see Audio Events for Legacy Audio Applications.
