Mike, your answer to Alexandra's question is correct.
Regarding your question- you'll noticed these directives:
HKR,"FX\\0",%PKEY_SYSFX_Association%,,%KSNODETYPE_ANY%
HKR,"EP\\0",%PKEY_AudioEndpoint_Association%,,%KSNODETYPE_SPEAKER%
The "association" value tells the audio system to propagate the
properties
to all endpoints of that specific node type. You can see that the node
type is "any" for the FX properties and it is "speaker" for the endpoint
properties.
If you want some properties for one type of endpoint and other properties
for a different type of endpoint, then you can create another set of keys
that start with, for example, "EP\1" and set a different association
value
under that key. You can create as many "EP\n" keys as you need.
I'd be interested in hearing your results if you try this.

Subject: [wdmaudiodev] Re: Can I identify my audio endpoint?
Frank, see my questions below. I want to answer Ally's question first,
then I have a question for you...
In the INF file that came with the Swap APO sample code, there are
examples of how to put values into both the FX property store, and the
endpoint property store. Entries to go into the FX property store get a
label of "FX\\0", and entries to go into the endpoint property store get
a label of "EP\\0". The following is taken from the aforementioned INF
file:
;;
;; All FX\\0 entries in the same grouping
;;
[SysFx.AddReg]
HKR,"FX\\0",%PKEY_DisplayName%,,%SYSFX_FriendlyName%
HKR,"FX\\0",%PKEY_SYSFX_PreMixClsid%,,%SYSFX_PREMIX_CLSID%
HKR,"FX\\0",%PKEY_SYSFX_PostMixClsid%,,%SYSFX_POSTMIX_CLSID%
HKR,"FX\\0",%PKEY_SYSFX_UiClsid%,,%SYSFX_UI_CLSID%
HKR,"FX\\0",%PKEY_SYSFX_Association%,,%KSNODETYPE_ANY%
;;
;; All EP\\0 entries in the same grouping
;;
;; Set default format to 48kHz, 16-bit, Stereo
;; Add endpoint extension property page
;;
[OEMSettingsOverride.AddReg]
HKR,"EP\\0",%PKEY_AudioEndpoint_Association%,,%KSNODETYPE_SPEAKER%
HKR,"EP\\0",%PKEY_AudioEngine_OEMFormat%,%REG_BINARY%,41,00,8C,70,28,00,00,00,FE,FF,02,00,80,BB,00,00,00,EE,02,00,04,00,10,00,16,00,10,00,03,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,10,00,80,00,00,AA,00,38,9B,71
HKR,"EP\\0",%PKEY_AudioEndpoint_Ext_UiClsid%,,%AUDIOENDPOINT_EXT_UI_CLSID%
The reason I'm bringing this up, is that I think there may be a problem
with this mechanism. I'm running on a system with more than one
playback endpoint (Speakers, Headphones, and S/PDIF). I can see entries
destined for the FX property store get populated for all endpoints.
However, entries destined for the endpoint property store only seem to
get populated for the first (default) endpoint. Frank, is this a known
problem? Any comments or suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Frank,
Regarding setting a special property to help us locate our endpoint: as
far as I can tell, the sysfx example adds properties to the FX
PROPERTIES key in the registry, but not the 'standard' one, e.g.
..\MMDevices\Audio\Render\{DS GUID}\Properties\
Am I missing something, or does the example only demonstrate adding
properties for the effects? It looks to me the only way to find the
endpoint associated with an audio driver is by the device
name/description from the inf.
Thanks,
Ally

I'm sorry I misled you with my previous response. A colleague reminded
me that PKEY_Endpoint_KsComponentId is not generally available in the
endpoint property stores. Another alternative- similar in concept- is
for your device INF to indirectly populate the endpoint property stores
with your own custom properties. The SYSFX sample demonstrates this.
(Sorry I don't have a pointer to the SYSFX sample or documentation at my
fingertips. I believe it's been referenced in other messages to this
mailing list.) Then your app can search for an endpoint that has your
custom properties in its property store.

Yes it does. Okay, very cool. Is this key defined in a standard header
or is there a section of documentation describing how the KSCOMPONENTID
is encapsulated in the PROPVARIANT so I don't bother you any more. :)
Thanks again,

Does your device have its own audio driver? One alternative is to read
PKEY_Endpoint_KsComponentId from the endpoint property store. This
returns a KSCOMPONENTID structure. However, for this endpoint property
to have useful information, the audio driver must support the KS
property KSPROPERTY_GENERAL_COMPONENTID and fill it in with useful
information.

Hi guys,
What is the most effective way to identify one's own audio endpoint when
using the IMMDeviceEnumerator? None of the published Audio Endpoint
properties seem to be uniquely tied to the device. The DirectSound GUID
(PKEY_AudioEndpoint_GUID) seems to be a floating value assigned by the
OS and in no way tied to any information in the inf file of the driver.
Additionally, help on the IMMDevice::GetId function states that the
information it represents is opaque and should not be used to obtain
information about the device. Any advice?
Thanks,
Alexandra Schoepel
