This method sets the balance of the audio signal.

Syntax

HRESULT put_Balance(
  long 
lBalance
);

Parameters

lBalance

[in] Value to which to set the Balanceproperty.

The allowable input range is –10,000 to 10,000.

A value of 0 sets a neutral balance: both left and right speakers are given the same amplitude audio signal.

Return Value

Returns an HRESULTvalue.

E_INVALIDARG is returned for values outside the allowable input range and E_FAIL is returned if the underlying device returns an error.

Remarks

As with the Volumeproperty, units correspond to .01 decibels (multiplied by –1 when lBalanceis a positive value). For example, a value of 1000 indicates –10 dB on the right channel and –90 dB on the left channel.
