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 lower audio quality is acceptable or where memory and processing power are limited.
// 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.
}
