IXAudio2 SetDebugConfiguration - can't log api calls, details, infos.

Question

hi guys,

It seems the current implementation of IXAudio2 SetDebugConfiguration only handles XAUDIO2_LOG_ERRORS. 
All the other useful flags seem to be ignored.
Every other flag seems to be ignored. I'm especially in need of the XAUDIO2_LOG_API_CALLS flags.

   :
   :
   :

	hRes = XAudio2Create (&g_pXAudio2,0);
	v4sapi_error_on_res ("XAudio2Create", hRes);

   // all flags but XAUDIO2_LOG_ERROR seem to be ignored.

#if defined(_DEBUG)
    XAUDIO2_DEBUG_CONFIGURATION debugConfiguration = {0};
    // debugConfiguration.BreakMask = XAUDIO2_LOG_ERRORS;
    // debugConfiguration.TraceMask = XAUDIO2_LOG_ERRORS;
    debugConfiguration.TraceMask = XAUDIO2_LOG_ERRORS | XAUDIO2_LOG_DETAIL | XAUDIO2_LOG_API_CALLS | XAUDIO2_LOG_FUNC_CALLS;
    debugConfiguration.BreakMask = 0;
    g_pXAudio2->SetDebugConfiguration(&debugConfiguration);
#endif

Anybody experiencing the same here? Or any useful tips ?

Hello,

 

You can check this document

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/microsoft.directx_sdk.xaudio2.xaudio2_debug_configuration(v=vs.85).aspx

 

Note  For this version of XAudio2, only the XAUDIO2_LOG_ERRORS value is supported on TraceMask or BreakMask. All other members and values are ignored.

 

Best regards,

Jesse

With XAudio 2.7, a special debug version of the DLL was generated that handled all the extra tracing which was not present in production builds. The output is sent to the debug output channel.

With XAudio 2.8, there's only a single version of the DLL so it has only error tracing built-in, which is output via ETW.
