I guess this isn't possible but I'll ask anyway.
Is there a way to control if a cue loops or not through code?

Hi Tom,

Cues themselves don't technically loop - they can play a sound that loops though. But if you want to dynamically (through code) control the looping behavior, one straightforward way would be to keep the sound itself non-looping. When you start playing the cue, register for a XACTNOTIFICATIONTYPE_CUESTOP notiifcation on it, and when that notification fires, retrigger the cue. If you're concerned about a possible gap between the stop and restart, the content creator can set the cue to be intance limited to 1 (only 1 plays at a time), and set any subsequent retriggers of that cue to 'queue' (rather than replace, fail, etc.). Then you as the programmer could register for the XACTNOTIFICATIONTYPE_CUEPLAY notification, and use that to trigger the next instance, which the XACT engine will keep queued until the previous one finishes.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Scott

Hi Scott,

thanks for the quick answer and sorry for my late reply.
Well, I thought that I would need to do something like that but luckily I don't anymore. ;)

You could have a look at the XACT game sample and the audio.cpp and go from there.
You are looking for "XACTNotificationCallback".
