Can't find include file <mmdeviceapi.h>.

main.c(4): fatal error #1035: Can't find include file <mmdeviceapi.h>.

How can I use the MMDevice API?

This is usually done in C++:

  const CLSID CLSID_MMDeviceEnumerator = __uuidof(MMDeviceEnumerator);
  const IID IID_IMMDeviceEnumerator = __uuidof(IMMDeviceEnumerator);
  hr = CoCreateInstance(
         CLSID_MMDeviceEnumerator, NULL,
         CLSCTX_ALL, IID_IMMDeviceEnumerator,
         (void**)&pEnumerator);

including Mmdeviceapi.h and ole32 library.

How can I use this api in C with Pelles?

[Bitbeisser]

With a quick search, all I found about that API is that it is C# (not C++) and thus very likely not going to work with Pelle's C, unless someone has a wrapper for that...

No. The API is C/C++. It is a part of [Core Audio Interfaces](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd370805%28v=vs.85%29.aspx). For example, it plays a part in controlling user sound volume in Windows.

Basic idea for that

Interesting. I see you have plucked out the values of CLSID_MMDeviceEnumerator and IID_IMMDeviceEnumerator out of mmdeviceapi.h.

Including mmdeviceapi.h is necessary to get proper function and struct definitions. Unfortunately trying to compile with that header fails.

Awesome.

Can you also make endpointvolume.h work? I tried and I don't think it is possible since there is a mess with some missing defines or something like that.

[frankie]

Get the PellesC extension here, I've added "mmdeviceapi.h" & "winapifamily.h".

[TimoVJL]

Those MinGW x64 headers works too.
