Thank you Tim,
But why seem all product in this market using MSVAD ?
I think if they all chose MSVAD,that must be some reason.
I don't think they are all wrong,What do you think?

You could check AV voice changer, MorphVOX Junio,vocalster,
after intall, all of these product will add a virtual audio device in Device 
manager,
and the same sequence will be displayed in Driver details (include VAC).the 
.sys file in middle of stream.sys and kxproxy.ax

why?

    Thank you Sam,
    I just want to know how to use MSVAD to read microphone input from physical 
device (default),then modify it and then any application get audio from 
microphone will get the changed voice.

  I don't think you are thinking about this in quite the right way.

  MSVAD appears to the system as an audio device.  It looks like another sound 
card, or another microphone.  As a sound source, it is expected to generate its 
own data.  There is no easy way for one audio source driver to pull data from 
another audio source driver.  What you would end out doing is having your 
application connect to the real microphone, read the data, do your processing, 
and feed the modified data back down to your MSVAD driver, so that it could 
then feed the modified data to other applications.  That's a lot of error-prone 
work.  Any time a kernel driver has to rely on a user-mode application to do 
its job, you introduce many complications.

  In my opinion, Sam has the right idea.  Write a lower filter to ks.sys, or an 
upper class filter for media class.  Put your algorithm there.
