MessageI was able to get the Volume Control mixer enabled by putting in the
Values structure mentioned below as well as putting in a support handler (all
it does is return STATUS_SUCCESS). However none of the control work, do I need
to send AVC commands (this is a 1394 audio device) down to the device to adjust
the volume and the mute settings, perhaps implement something in the support
handler, or do I need to do something else that will make these controls
functional? One other question. I have in my set of mixers which includes:
Wave, SW Synth and CD Player. I assume these mixers are put there by KMixer,
and they seem to do a fine job of controlling the volume or muting it, but how
can I get rid of these mixers so I can control volume, mute, and balance all by
myself?
Thanks again for all your help,
John

DJ,
I have filled in the Values member of the structure using the &VolumeValues
found in the following code:
static
KSPROPERTY_STEPPING_LONG VolumeRangeAndStep [] =
{
{
1, // SteppingDelta
0, // Reserved
-32767, // Minimum
32767 // Maximum
}
};
static
KSPROPERTY_MEMBERSLIST VolumeMembersList [] =
{
{
{
KSPROPERTY_MEMBER_RANGES,
sizeof (VolumeRangeAndStep),
SIZEOF_ARRAY (VolumeRangeAndStep),
0
},
(PVOID) VolumeRangeAndStep
},
};
static
KSPROPERTY_VALUES VolumeValues =
{
{
STATICGUIDOF (KSPROPTYPESETID_General),
VT_I4,
0
},
SIZEOF_ARRAY (VolumeMembersList),
VolumeMembersList
};
This still doesnt seem to make a difference, because the Volume Control mixer
is still disabled.
Thanks,
John

Hello Harry,
You are correct that if the "Values" member of the structure is filled in
then AVStream will make the proper responses as well as filling in a
"SupportHandler".
John, have you filled in either of these entries?

DJ,
I find this to be very strange. The DDK explicitly states the following
under the "SupportHandler" member of KSPROPERTY_ITEM:
Basic support queries, range queries, and relations queries are
automatically handled by AVStream, which returns the relevant values from other
members of this KSPROPERTY_ITEM structure.
Since the range values are already defined by the "Values" member of
KSPROPERTY_ITEM of the KSPROPERTY_SET of the KSAUTOMATION_TABLE in the
KSNODE_DESCRIPTOR in the KSFILTER_DESCRIPTOR, it makes sense to me that
AVStream should be handling the Basic Support Queries. Is the documentation
wrong on this?

Hello John,
It appears from what you have said below that a critical piece is
missing. Look at the KSPROPERTY_ITEM structure you have filled in for the
Volume node. You will notice a field in the structure for the "PFNKSHANDLER
SupportHandler". This is the function that is called by the audio stack to
determine the ranges and channels of volume controls, mutes, etc. This function
is described in the DDK in the "Basic Support Queries for Audio Properties"
section.

I've got the controls all set up, now when I go to the Sounds and Audio
Devices I see a 'Volume Control' mixer added to my Playback volume controls.
When I bring up the 'Volume Control' mixer all the sliders on the mixer are
disabled. I have implemented the KSEVENT_CONTROL_CHANGE event for these nodes,
and I have implemented the KSPROPSETID_Audio properties
(KSPROPERTY_AUDIO_VOLUME_LEVEL and KSPROPERTY_AUDIO_CPU_RESOURCES) for the
volume nodes, as well as the Get/Set Property Handler for
KSPROPERTY_AUDIO_VOLUME_LEVEL (I keep a value of the current volume, and give
it back for the Get, and for the Set I check the requested volume level and if
it is within range I save that value off as the current volume value and return
success). I have implemented the Get Property Handler on the
KSPROPERTY_AUDIO_CPU_RESOURCES.
I have also implemented the KSPROPERTY_AUDIO_MUTE Property and the
Get/Set Property Handlers for the Volume Control mixer (again I save off the
state of the mute and give it back for the Get and I change the current mute
value and return success for the Set), but when I click on the check box in the
Volume Control mixer it nothing seems to happen. I can see the change
happening in KS Studio after I've made the change, but I can still hear sound
out of my device.
So what do I need to do to enable the sliders on the Volume Control mixer
and get my mute to work?
Thanks,
John Farmer

OK, I misunderstood your original message to read that the volume and
mute controls were all before the SUM node. So it would appear that for some
reason the controls themselves are not currently functioning or at least not
sending responses to requests, or perhaps there is a problem in the
BASIC_SUPPORT responses. There could be quite a few reasons for this. You
stated below that:
I assume once I implement the Master Volume mixer that the controls on
the 'Device volume' and 'Speaker settings' sections will be enabled. So how
do I implement the Master Volume mixer?
Does this mean that you have not yet implemented the controls?
Unlike portcls drivers, avstream topologies are not separated from the
streaming. They are part of the same "filter factory". Creation of a filter
from the filter factory would instantiate the streaming and topology for that
filter.

I've tried a number of different topologies, as I mentioned before I
looked at the topologies of other soundcards and this seems to be the most
correct:
static
KSTOPOLOGY_CONNECTION MiniportConnections[] =
{
//FromNode------------------FromPin-----ToNode----------------------ToPin
{ KSFILTER_NODE, 1, KSNODE_SPEAKER_VOLUME, 1 },
{ KSNODE_SPEAKER_VOLUME, 0, KSNODE_SPEAKER_MUTE, 1 },
{ KSNODE_SPEAKER_MUTE, 0, KSNODE_ANALOG_OUT_SUM, 1 },
{ KSFILTER_NODE, 3, KSNODE_MICROPHONE_VOLUME, 1 },
{ KSNODE_MICROPHONE_VOLUME, 0, KSNODE_MICROPHONE_MUTE, 1 },
{ KSNODE_MICROPHONE_MUTE, 0, KSNODE_ANALOG_OUT_SUM, 2 },
{ KSNODE_ANALOG_OUT_SUM, 0, KSNODE_MASTER_VOLUME, 1 },
{ KSNODE_MASTER_VOLUME, 0, KSNODE_MASTER_MUTE, 1 },
{ KSNODE_MASTER_MUTE, 0, KSFILTER_NODE, 0 }
};
and looks something like this in KS Studio:
===================================
1 0-|| Vol -> Mute \ / - ||
- {} 0
3 -{} || Vol -> Mute -- Sum -> Volume -> Mute/ || -o 2
===================================

Hello John,
I am guessing the problem you are seeing is due to the placement of
the SUM node in your topology. When the topology parser in wdmaud sees this
node it assumes there is some sort of branching going on and looks downstream
for master controls. Thus if your Volume and mute controls are upstream fro
this node they would not be considered the master.
What is the exact topology you are describing?

Subject: [wdmaudiodev] AVStream Mixer Problems
Greetings,
I'm creating a AVStream audio device that registers itself as a audio
playback device. When I select the device as my default playback device, I can
hear the sound and everything is fine and good. But now I am working on
implementing the audio mixer for the device (e.g. Volume, Mute, Microphone
Volume, ect).
When I open up the Sounds and Audio Devices control panel, 'Device
volume' section is grayed out as well as the buttons in the 'Speaker settings'
section on the Volume tab. When I go to the Audio tab I can access the Volume
and Advanced buttons for both my Sound playback and Sound recording. If I
choose the Volume button for Sound playback, I see my Wave, CD Audio, and SW
Synth mixers, but I seem to lack the Master Volume mixer. If I go to the
properties in Sndvol32 for my device I see "Playback" and "Recording" radio
buttons. Under playback I see the same mixers as I saw previously, and under
Recording I see no volume controls.
I assume once I implement the Master Volume mixer that the controls
on the 'Device volume' and 'Speaker settings' sections will be enabled. So
how do I implement the Master Volume mixer?
I've created a simple wave topology that implements Volume, Mute,
SUM, ADC and DAC nodes for my speaker and microphone pins. When I look in KS
Studio I see my driver under the KSCATEGORY_AUDIO Filter Factories as a Audio
device (or a \wave device). I looked at other soundcards on different systems
and they also seem to have a Mixer node (or a \topology device). I assume that
these soundcard drivers are portcls drivers. When I instantiate both of these
filters they automatically connect (I've seen this behavior before in the MSVAD
sample and understand the theory of how these filters work together). So is
there a way to create a Topology Filter and a Wave Filter for my device, or
does AVStream do it a different way. I see that portcls drivers uses
PcRegisterSubDevice to register these filters but I have been unable to find
the AVStream equivalent.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
John Farmer
