This is the interface for the LEAD Audio Detection Filter (2.0).
typedef enum{AUDDET_STATE_STOPPED,AUDDET_STATE_RUNNING,} AudDetStateConstants;
List the possible values for the state of audio detection.
| AUDDET_STATE_STOPPED | The filter is not processing streaming data and the sound detection process is not running. |
| AUDDET_STATE_RUNNING | The filter is processing streaming data and the sound detection process has started. |
Type |
Name |
Description |
ILMADetUserCallback
|
CallbackObj |
(write-only) Sets the callback object pointer. If not NULL, the CallbackProc method of this interface is called to report audio detection events. Set to NULL (or to "Nothing" in VB) in order to stop receiving notifications. (For example, before deleting the callback object interface). |
VARIANT_BOOL |
Enable |
Enables or disables audio detection. Set to TRUE to enable audio detection and receive event notifications. |
long |
Threshold |
The threshold (in dB) used to detect sound. The allowed range is 40 to 0. 40 is equivalent to absolute silence and 0 is the loudest possible sound. All sounds below this threshold are considered silence. Set this depending on your microphone. Usually, a value between38 and 30 is used. |
long |
MinSilenceTime |
The minimum length of silence periods (in milliseconds). Silences shorter than the MinSilenceTime are considered part of the sound. Set this value so short pauses do not trigger false silences. Most conversations contain short silences while the people talking draw their breath, or pause while they are thinking. |
long |
LeftLevel |
(read-only) The intensity (power) of the signal in the left channel (in dB). Note: If the audio stream is mono, the values of LeftLevel and RightLevel are the same. |
long |
RightLevel |
(read-only) The intensity (power) of the signal in the right channel (in dB). Note: If the audio stream is mono, the values of LeftLevel and RightLevel are the same. |
long |
Interval |
The time intervals at which the filter will check the stream for audio data. This value is in milliseconds. |
long |
Delay |
The amount of time the filter waits before it starts checking the stream for sound data (sound detection). This value is in milliseconds. |
VARIANT_BOOL |
AutoStart |
Flag that indicates whether to start sound detection when streaming starts. Set this to VARIANT_TRUE to have the filter start sound detection when streaming starts. Set this to VARIANT_FALSE to start sound detection manually. Note that if the Delay property has been set, sound detection does not begin, regardless of the value of AutoStart, until the delay period has elapsed. |
AudDetStateConstants |
State |
(read only) Indicates the state of audio detection. Possible values are: AUDDET_STATE_RUNNING: The filter is processing streaming data and the sound detection process has started. AUDDET_STATE_STOPPED: The filter is not processing streaming data and the sound detection process is not running. |
IUnknown |
CallbackObj2 |
(write-only) Sets the callback object pointer. If not NULL, the CallbackProc method of this interface will be called to report audio detection events. Set to NULL (or to "Nothing" in VB in order to stop receiving notifications. (For example, before deleting the callback object interface). There are two types of callbacks that can be set:
VB 6.0 or earlier users should use an ILMADetUserCallback interface, while C# and VB.NET users should use an ILMADetUserCallback2 interface. C/C++ users can use either interface. |
This method starts sound detection manually. If the Delay property has been set, sound detection will not begin until the delay period has elapsed.
To have the filter automatically start sound detection when streaming starts, set the AutoStart property to VARIANT_TRUE and do not call this method. Again, even if AutoStart is set to VARIANT_TRUE, if the Delay property has been set, sound detection will not begin until the delay period has elapsed.
S_OK |
The method succeeded. |
VFW_E_NOT_CONNECTED |
An error has occurred, either the input or output pin is not connected. |
VFW_E_NOT_RUNNING |
The filter in not in the running state. |
Stops sound detection.
S_OK |
The method succeeded. |
VFW_E_NOT_CONNECTED |
An error has occurred, either the input or output pin is not connected. |
Resets the filter properties to their default values. Calling this method might cause the filter to reconnect its output pin.
The method will fail if the filter is in the running state.
S_OK |
The method succeeded. |
VFW_E_WRONG_STATE |
The filter is in the wrong state. |
