These registry entries belong on the topology device interface.  Please paste 
what you have into email.  Maybe there's some small error that a second set of 
eyes will spot.

Thanks.

Mitch,
    It still seems like this mechanism isn't working correctly.  If I do
as you describe, I still only see the endpoint property store being
populated for the first endpoint.  As an experiment, I tried swapping
the indexes, so the Speaker endpoint gets populated from "EP\\1" and the
headphone endpoint gets populated from "EP\\0", and now only the
headphone endpoint's property store gets populated.
    Here's a question...  Where do these entries belong in the
INF file?  In the INF file that came with the Swap APO sample code, both
the "FX\\0" and "EP\\0" entries are populated from the topology AddReg
section for the endpoint.  For example:

[HDAudio.SysFx.PrimaryLineOutTopo]
AddReg=HDAudio.SysFx.PrimaryLineOutTopo.AddReg,SysFx.AddReg,OEMSettingsOverride.AddReg

where SysFx.AddReg adds the "FX\\0" entries, and
OEMSettingsOverride.AddReg adds the "EP\\0" entries.  Is this the
correct place to put the "EP\\xxx" entries?  It seems to be working fine
for the first endpoint, but not for the others.
