KSJACK_DESCRIPTION structure

The KSJACK_DESCRIPTION structure specifies the physical attributes of an audio jack.

Members

ChannelMapping Specifies the mapping of the audio channels to the corresponding speaker positions. ChannelMapping is a bitmask of the KSAUDIO_SPEAKER_XXX flags (for example, SPEAKER_FRONT_LEFT | SPEAKER_FRONT_RIGHT), which are defined in the header file Ksmedia.h. ChannelMapping should be nonzero only for analog rendering pins. For capture pins or for digital rendering pins, set this member to 0.

[!NOTE] Devicetopology.h originally defined ChannelMapping as an enumeration of type EChannelMapping. The EChannelMapping enumeration has since been deprecated and is no longer used in Windows Vista and later versions of the Windows operating systems.

Color Specifies the jack color. The color is expressed as a 32-bit RGB value that is formed by concatenating the 8-bit blue, green, and red color components. The blue component occupies the 8 least-significant bits (bits 0-7), the green component occupies bits 8-15, and the red component occupies bits 16-23. The 8 most-significant bits are zeros. If the jack color is unknown or the physical connector has no identifiable color, the value of this member is 0x00000000, which represents black.

ConnectionType Specifies the physical connection type for this jack. The value of this member is one of the EPcxConnectionType enumeration values shown in the following table.

Value Connector type
eConnTypeUnknown Unknown
eConnType3Point5mm 3.5 mm minijack
eConnTypeQuarter 1/4-inch jack
eConnTypeAtapiInternal ATAPI internal connector
eConnTypeRCA RCA jack
eConnTypeOptical Optical connector
eConnTypeOtherDigital Generic digital connector
eConnTypeOtherAnalog Generic analog connector
eConnTypeMultichannelAnalogDIN Multichannel analog DIN connector
eConnTypeXlrProfessional XLR connector
eConnTypeRJ11Modem RJ11 modem connector
eConnTypeCombination Connector combination

GeoLocation The geometric location of the jack. The value of this member is one of the EPcxGeoLocation enumeration values shown in the following table.

Value Geometric location
eGeoLocRear Rear
eGeoLocFront Front
eGeoLocLeft Left
eGeoLocRight Right
eGeoLocTop Top
eGeoLocBottom Bottom
eGeoLocRearPanel Rear slide-open or pull-open panel
eGeoLocRiser Riser card
eGeoLocInsideMobileLid Inside lid of mobile computer
eGeoLocDrivebay Drive bay
eGeoLocHDMI HDMI connector
eGeoLocOutsideMobileLid Outside lid of mobile computer
eGeoLocATAPI ATAPI connector
eGeoLocNotApplicable Not applicable. See Remarks section.

GenLocation Specifies the general location of the jack. The value of this member is one of the EPcxGenLocation enumeration values shown in the following table.

Value General location
eGenLocPrimaryBox On primary chassis
eGenLocInternal Inside primary chassis
eGenLocSeparate On separate chassis
eGenLocOther Other location

PortConnection Specifies the type of port represented by the jack. The value of this member is one of the EPxcPortConnection enumeration values shown in the following table.

Value Port connection type
ePortConnJack Jack
ePortConnIntegratedDevice Slot for an integrated device
ePortConnBothIntegratedAndJack Both a jack and a slot for an integrated device
ePortConnUnknown Unknown

IsConnected Indicates whether there is an external device connected to the jack. If the audio controller supports jack detection on this pin, the value of IsConnected should accurately indicate whether the jack is occupied by a plug at any given time. This value should always be set to TRUE for devices that do not support jack detection.

Remarks

This structure is used by the KSPROPERTY_JACK_DESCRIPTION property in Windows Vista and later. It describes an audio jack that is part of a connection between an endpoint device and a hardware device in an audio adapter. When a user needs to plug an endpoint device into a jack or unplug it from a jack, an audio application can use the descriptive information in the structure to help the user to find the jack.

When an audio device does not expose a physically accessible jack, the audio device uses the eGeoLocNotApplicable value to indicate to Windows and Windows-based apps that there is no physical jack. As such, there is no geometric location either. For example, the audio device can be integrated into the motherboard, without any accessible jacks.
