Hi, I have solved this problem entirely! Solution: Eliminate topology filter entirely. Put all volume and mute controls in the audio filter. _____ From: wdmaudiodev-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:wdmaudiodev-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sam Tertzakian Sent: Saturday, October 22, 2005 5:50 AM To: wdmaudiodev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [wdmaudiodev] AVStream Driver and SNDVOL32 and KSPIN_PHYSICALCONNECTION Hi, My AVStream driver exposes a Wave device. But there are some issues: 1. I want to be able to change the volume of the device. So, of course, I have added a property set for that and it appears properly in KsStudio. But, I am unable to make the volume of the device appear in SndVol32.exe. 2. The speaker Icon does not appear. Now, I have carefully creatde a topology filter and under KsStudio everything looks correct.all the elements I want to create appear. Also: I am able to change the volume using KsStudio by typing it in after creating the topology filter. The proper handler in my driver is called with all the proper paramters. The one thing that is wrong.and that I think is causing my problem is: PhysicalConnection for the data pins is "Not Available". I am sure this is my problem. Now, in the DDK I saw a property set for this but it states: "This structure is used with port class only." (See "KSPIN_PHYSICALCONNECTION".) I tried to set a handler of KSPROPSETID_Pin, but it is never called. How can I fill in the PhysicalConnection parameter of the Pin so it appears correctly in KsStudio in an AVStream driver? Also, do I need to do this?
