FYI. We discovered that the problem was in filter's IRP handler. This IRP is sent to sysaudio from user-mode. Therefore KS/Sysaudio checks all parameters and caches the IRP parameters in SystemBuffer. After that modifications/operations are done on the SystemBuffer. The filter's dispatch handler checks the IrpSp->Parameters field that is still pointing out to UserMode memory with the sysaudio node id. Irp->SystemBuffer has a KSNODEPROPERTY structure embedded in it with the correct node id. So intermediate filters that get messages from sysaudio should use SystemBuffer to access the "real" node id. (I remember seeing an article in MSDN or DDK about DeviceIoControl handling for kernel drivers) -----Original Message----- From: Peter Stokes [mailto:pstokes@xxxxxxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 3:43 AM To: wdmaudiodev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [wdmaudiodev] Virtual Audio Devices I understand from the Windows DDK documentation that SysAudio builds filter graphs from the available KSCATEGORY_AUDIO filter factories into a "Virtual Audio Device", which is registered as a KSCATEGORY_AUDIO_DEVICE. My question is that each individual KSCATEGORY_AUDIO filter factory contains various nodes, each of which has a node ID consisting of a numeric index based from zero. When all the necessary filter factories are linked to produce the "Virtual Audio Device" it is clearly necessary to re-index many of the nodes' IDs because it is not sensible to have multiple nodes with the same ID. I have observed this behaviour using KsStudio. However, I have not been able to deduce the logic used in this re-indexing process. I would also like to know how I can obtain the mappings between the node ID given to a node in the "Virtual Audio Device" and the corresponding nodes' ID in it's own filter factory. I hope that the above makes sense. I would be very grateful for any assistance with this matter.
