# GetShapeEqCompInputDelay0

> GetShapeEqCompInputDelay0

# GetShapeEqCompInputDelay0

Gets the input delay for the left channel.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
float GetShapeEqCompInputDelay0(  
         const SHAPE_EQCOMP_CONTEXT* context  
)  
```

### Parameters

*context*   \_In\_\
Type: [SHAPE\_EQCOMP\_CONTEXT\*](/reference/audio/shapeeqcompcontext/structs/shape_eqcomp_context)

Pointer to a `SHAPE_EQCOMP_CONTEXT` object.

### Return value

Type: float

Input delay for left channel.

## Remarks

Because the SHAPE clock is independent of the CPU clock, latency can be a factor. Hardware-to-software and software-to-hardware transitions incur a 2.66-ms latency. When you synchronize critical code and use multiple transitions for certain sounds, consider implementing a CPU clock-based delay to synchronize the sound rendering.

## Requirements

**Header:** shapeeqcompcontext.h

**Supported platforms:** XBOX One family consoles and XBOX Series consoles
