ERole enumeration

The ERole enumeration defines constants that indicate the role that the system has assigned to an audio endpoint device.

Syntax

typedef enum  { 
  eConsole,
  eMultimedia,
  eCommunications,
  ERole_enum_count
} ERole;

Constants

eConsole

Games, system notification sounds, and voice commands.

eMultimedia

Remarks

The IMMDeviceEnumerator::GetDefaultAudioEndpoint and IMMNotificationClient::OnDefaultDeviceChanged methods use the constants defined in the ERole enumeration.
