The PCM8 field is a member of the SoundFormat enumeration in the Sandbox namespace. It represents an 8-bit Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) sound format. PCM is a method used to digitally represent analog signals, and the 8-bit variant provides a lower quality sound representation compared to higher bit depths like 16-bit PCM.
Use the PCM8 field when you need to specify or check for an 8-bit PCM sound format in your audio processing or playback logic. This format is typically used for applications where memory usage is a concern and high audio fidelity is not required.
// Example of using the PCM8 sound format
SoundFormat format = SoundFormat.PCM8;
if (format == SoundFormat.PCM8)
{
// Handle 8-bit PCM audio processing
// This could involve setting up audio buffers, decoding, etc.
}
