         const SHAPE_XMA_CONTEXT* context  
)  
```

### Parameters

*context*   \_In\_\
Type: [SHAPE\_XMA\_CONTEXT](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/audio/shapexmacontext/structs/shape_xma_context.md)\*

Pointer to a [SHAPE\_XMA\_CONTEXT](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/audio/shapexmacontext/structs/shape_xma_context.md) object.

### Return value

Type: UINT32

Number of loops, from zero through 254. 255 specifies continuous looping.

## Remarks

For guidance on XMA context loops, see [Guidelines for using SRC for PCM and XMA data](https://docs.xbox.com/build/console-features/audio/overviews/acp-overview.md#ID4EUPAC) in [ACP overview](https://docs.xbox.com/build/console-features/audio/overviews/acp-overview.md).

To set the number of loops, use [SetShapeXmaNumLoops](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/audio/shapexmacontext/functions/setshapexmanumloops.md).
