To set the address of the output buffer by using a pointer, use [SetShapeXmaOutputBuffer(SHAPE\_XMA\_CONTEXT\*, void\*)](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/audio/shapexmacontext/functions/setshapexmaoutputbuffer.md).

To set the address of the output buffer by using a physical address, use [SetShapeXmaOutputBuffer(SHAPE\_XMA\_CONTEXT\*, APU\_ADDRESS)](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/audio/shapexmacontext/functions/setshapexmaoutputbuffer_2.md).
