# GetShapePcmMode

Gets the PCM mode.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
SHAPE_PCM_MODE GetShapePcmMode(  
         const SHAPE_PCM_CONTEXT* context  
)  
```

### Parameters

*context*   \_In\_\
Type: [SHAPE\_PCM\_CONTEXT\*](/reference/audio/shapepcmcontext/structs/shape_pcm_context)

Pointer to a [SHAPE\_PCM\_CONTEXT](/reference/audio/shapepcmcontext/structs/shape_pcm_context) structure.

### Return value

Type: SHAPE\_PCM\_MODE

One member of the [SHAPE\_PCM\_MODE](/reference/audio/shapepcmcontext/enums/shape_pcm_mode) enumeration.

## Remarks

The Sample Rate Convertor (SRC) operates in either mono or stereo mode. The Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) data is read from memory and converted to a common 24-bit fixed-point format for sample rate conversion. The output is written to either one or two mix buffers depending on the mode. Stereo data is stored in memory as an interleaved stream of 16-bit data with the left channel in the least significant 16 bits of each 32-bit word and the right channel in the most significant 16 bits. In stereo mode, the PCM data is read and simultaneously de-interleaved. The left channel data (even-numbered samples) is processed and output to one mix buffer and the right channel data (odd-numbered samples) is written to a second mix buffer.

## Requirements

**Header:** shapepcmcontext.h

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