POC# Ambiguous call in DirectSound
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm trying to use DirectSound to capture sound from a microphone. Here's my code:</p> <pre><code> using Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound; public MicrophoneSensor() { CaptureBufferDescription micBufferDesc = new CaptureBufferDescription(); WaveFormat format = new WaveFormat(); format.SamplesPerSecond = 22000; format.Channels = 1; format.BitsPerSample = 8; format.AverageBytesPerSecond = 22000; format.BlockAlign = 1; micBufferDesc.Format = format; micBufferDesc.BufferBytes = 100000; micBufferDesc.ControlEffects = false; micBufferDesc.WaveMapped = true; micBuffer = new CaptureBuffer(micBufferDesc, microphone); } </code></pre> <p>The instantiations of the micBufferDesc and format variables cause Visual Studio 2008 to throw the following error:</p> <blockquote> <p>The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties: 'Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound.CaptureBufferDescription.CaptureBufferDescription()' and 'Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound.CaptureBufferDescription.CaptureBufferDescription()'</p> <p>and</p> <p>The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties: 'Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound.WaveFormat.WaveFormat()' and 'Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound.WaveFormet.WaveFormat()'</p> </blockquote> <p>I've tried quite a few different combinations of stating the namespace and using statements but no luck.</p> <p>I've also checked the references in the solution explorer and as far as I can tell there are no duplicates.</p> <p>A brand new test project with only the Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound reference and nothing else still throws the same error.</p> <p>I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the DirectX SDK (March 2009) as well as the DirectX SDK (November 2008). Still no luck.</p> <p>Finally, I've tried a new project on another computer here in the lab and it still doesn't work. </p> <p>Here are the references I have:</p> <ul> <li>Graph</li> <li>Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound</li> <li>Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput</li> <li>PresentationCore</li> <li>PresentationFramework</li> <li>Service</li> <li>System</li> <li>System.Core</li> <li>System.Data</li> <li>System.Data.DataSetExtensions</li> <li>System.Deployment</li> <li>System.Drawing</li> <li>System.Runtime.Serialization</li> <li>System.ServiceModel</li> <li>System.Windows.Forms</li> <li>System.Xml</li> <li>System.Xml.Linq</li> <li>UIAutomationProvider</li> <li>WindowsBase</li> <li>WindowsFormsIntegration</li> </ul>
