This sets the maximum allocatable channels on a hardware card. FMOD automatically detects and allocates the maximum number of 3d hardware channels, so calling this will limit that number if it becomes too much.
DLL_API signed char F_API FSOUND_SetMaxHardwareChannels( int max );
Parameters
max
The maximum number of hardware channels to allocate, even if the soundcard supports more.
Return Value
On success, TRUE is returned.
On failure, FALSE is returned.
Remarks
This function cannot be called after FMOD is already activated with FSOUND_Init.
It must be called before FSOUND_Init, or after FSOUND_Close.
---------
This function has nothing to do with FSOUND_SetMinHardwareChannels, in that this is not a function that forces FMOD into software mixing if a card has a certain number of channels.
This function only sets a limit on hardware channels, so if your card has 96 hardware channels, and you set FSOUND_SetMaxHardwareChannels(10), then you will only have 10 hardware channels to use.
