# PartyAudioFormat

> The format information needed to interpret Party audio data.

The format information needed to interpret Party audio data.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
struct PartyAudioFormat {  
    uint32_t samplesPerSecond;  
    uint32_t channelMask;  
    uint16_t channelCount;  
    uint16_t bitsPerSample;  
    PartyAudioSampleType sampleType;  
    PartyBool interleaved;  
}  
```

### Members

**`samplesPerSecond`**   uint32\_t

Specifies the sample frequency at which each channel should be played or recorded.

**`channelMask`**   uint32\_t

Overrides the assignment of channels in a multichannel audio stream to speaker positions.

**`channelCount`**   uint16\_t

Specifies the number of channels of audio data.

**`bitsPerSample`**   uint16\_t

Specifies the number of bits per sample. If this value is not byte-divisible, it will be assumed that the containing sample type is padded with bits to make it byte-divisble.

**`sampleType`**   [PartyAudioSampleType](/services/playfab/multiplayer/networking/reference/enums/partyaudiosampletype)

Specifies the sample type.

**`interleaved`**   [PartyBool](/services/playfab/multiplayer/networking/reference/typedefs)

A flag representing whether the multichannel audio data is interleaved for multi-channel formats.
