Remarks

**Note: **If the method succeeds, check the Buffer.NotVirtualized property to determine whether a requested 3-D algorithm was available and stereo panning was substituted.

Microsoft DirectSound does not initialize the contents of the buffer, and the application cannot assume that it contains silence.

If an attempt is made to create a buffer with BufferCaps.LocateInHardware set to true on a system where hardware acceleration is not available, the method fails throwing either ControlUnavailableException or InvalidCallException, depending upon the operating system.
