# Standard Sound Dialog Component

Describes the QuickTime component that lets the user make audio parameter settings.

## About the Standard Sound Dialog Component

[Inside Macintosh: QuickTime Reference](../../../../REF/refStdSoundComp.4.htm) describes what the standard sound dialog component does and includes an illustration of the standard dialog box.

## Using the Standard Sound Dialog Component

[Inside Macintosh: QuickTime Reference](../../../../REF/refStdSoundComp.5.htm) describes how to use the standard sound dialog component from within an application. Sample code is included for several functions.

- [Opening a connection to the standard sound dialog component](../../../../REF/refStdSoundComp.5.htm) - [Setting initial values for the dialog box](../../../../REF/refStdSoundComp.5.htm) - [Restricting the list of compression types](../../../../REF/refStdSoundComp.5.htm) - [Displaying the dialog box](../../../../REF/refStdSoundComp.5.htm) - [Retrieving settings from the dialog box](../../../../REF/refStdSoundComp.5.htm)

## Functions

[Inside Macintosh: QuickTime Reference](../../../../REF/refStdSoundComp.8.htm) describes three functions, taken from the standard image compression dialog component, which are implemented in the standard sound dialog component: SCGetInfo , SCSetInfo , and SCRequestImageSettings . Refer to the chapter "Standard Image Compression Dialog" for the complete function definitions. Also described are two new functions, SCGetSettingsAsAtomContainer and SCSetSettingsFromAtomContainer .

- `SCGetInfo` - `SCSetInfo` - `SCRequestImageSettings` - `SCGetSettingsAsAtomContainer` - `SCSetSettingsFromAtomContainer`

## Constants

[Inside Macintosh: QuickTime Reference](../../../../REF/refStdSoundComp.7.htm) defines the constants used by the sound dialog component. These are primarily new selectors that can be passed to SCGetInfo or SCSetInfo , and are supported only when these functions are called with the standard sound dialog component. These selectors are not supported when calling SCGetInfo or SCSetInfo for a standard image compression dialog.

- scSoundSampleRateType - scSoundSampleSizeType - scSoundChannelCountType - scSoundCompressionType - scCompressionListType - scPreferenceFlagsType - scExtendedProcsType - scSettingsStateType
