The IDirectSoundBuffer::Restoremethod restores the memory allocation for a lost sound buffer for the specified DirectSoundBuffer object.

HRESULT Restore();

Parameters

None

Return Values

If the method succeeds, the return value is DS_OK.

If the method fails, the return value may be one of the following error values:

Remarks

If the application does not have the input focus, IDirectSoundBuffer::Restoremight not succeed. For example, if the application with the input focus has the DSSCL_WRITEPRIMARY cooperative level, no other application will be able to restore its buffers. Similarly, an application with the DSSCL_WRITEPRIMARY cooperative level must have the input focus to restore its primary sound buffer.

Once DirectSound restores the buffer memory, the application must rewrite the buffer with valid sound data. DirectSound cannot restore the contents of the memory, only the memory itself.

The application can receive notification that a buffer is lost when it specifies that buffer in a call to the IDirectSoundBuffer::Lockor IDirectSoundBuffer::Playmethod. These methods return DSERR_BUFFERLOSTto indicate a lost buffer. The IDirectSoundBuffer::GetStatusmethod can also be used to retrieve the status of the sound buffer and test for the DSBSTATUS_BUFFERLOST flag.

On Windows CE, no buffers are lost and it is never necessary to call Restore. This method always returns DS_OK.
