Hi Hakon,
Just to be clear, are you saying that MS wants to avoid IHV
control panels/GUI's changing those parameters? Mike wasn't referring
to 3rd-party recording applications. That would result in the bulk of the
audio settings being done in the IHV app and then the user being required to
go to the MS property pages only to change the default endpoint and/or
the output mode. Is this the intent?
Thanks,
--jim
