So what's the difference between PKEY_SYSFX_UiClsid (used in the FX
property store) and PKEY_AudioEndpoint_Ext_UiClsid (used in the endpoint
property store)?
Mike
Jeff, it sounds like you have it.
Michael, in your case only the speakers propertystore is populated because of this entry:
HKR,"EP\\0",%PKEY_AudioEndpoint_Association%,,%KSNODETYPE_SPEAKER%
If you want all endpoints populated, then change that line to
HKR,"EP\\0",%PKEY_AudioEndpoint_Association%,,%KSNODETYPE_ANY%
On the other hand, let's say you want to add a different endpoint propertypage extension for each of the endpoints (speakers, headphones, spdif). In this case, (as Jeff alluded to) do something like
HKR,"EP\\0",%PKEY_AudioEndpoint_Association%,,%KSNODETYPE_SPEAKER% HKR,"EP\\0",%PKEY_AudioEndpoint_Ext_UiClsid%,,%AUDIOENDPOINT_EXT_UI_CLSID_FORSPEAKERS%
HKR,"EP\\1",%PKEY_AudioEndpoint_Association%,,%KSNODETYPE_HEADPHONES% HKR,"EP\\1",%PKEY_AudioEndpoint_Ext_UiClsid%,,%AUDIOENDPOINT_EXT_UI_CLSID_FORHEADPHONES%
HKR,"EP\\2",%PKEY_AudioEndpoint_Association%,,%KSNODETYPE_SPDIF_INTERFACE% HKR,"EP\\2",%PKEY_AudioEndpoint_Ext_UiClsid%,,%AUDIOENDPOINT_EXT_UI_CLSID_FORSPDIF%
I realize this is all a bit cludgey... Basically, you are creating transient groups of registry properties that will be used by something that doesn't exist at device setup time, namely the audio endpoints. When the endpoints are "created", the AudioEndpointBuilder service looks for these "EP\n" and "FX\n" entries, correlates with the pin category and if there's a match copies the properties into the new endpoint and fx propertystores en masse.
Let me know if this is still unclear. I'll add to the list of things that needs more documentation and/or utilities.

Hi Mike,
I don't know whether what I've done is the right thing or not (this stuff doesn't seem to be documented anywhere yet apart from in the SysFx example), but I have multiple endpoints that I needed to set the default sampling rate and bit depth on, so in the [OEMSettingsOverride.AddReg] section I just referred to the endpoints as EP\\0, EP\\1, EP\\2, etc. and it seemed to work.

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
