TAPI_E_NOFORMAT

What TAPI_E_NOFORMAT means

TAPI_E_NOFORMAT The provider does not recognize or support the requested media format.

What to check

  • Record the exact media format, subtype, rate, channels, and stream/terminal involved.
  • Enumerate formats accepted by the current provider or media service provider.
  • Check whether the format was valid before renegotiation but not after a device or topology change.

Handling

Negotiate or convert to a format supported by the active provider. Keep the original format data so conversion does not hide the actual incompatibility.
