The reason this isn't very satisfactory as an answer is that there ISN'T really a way to stop other clients audio processing. There isn't an "insert-on-the-fly" option for the system KS graph in XP.

Martin, Thank you very much for information. One question: What do you mean to ensure that no audio is being captured or played back when AEC is instantiated? Do you recommend to stop all audio processing or to wait until audio processing will finish. Is it possible to stop all audio processing? Thanks, Alexey To: <wdmaudiodev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [wdmaudiodev] Re: Issues with MS AEC. From: "Martin Puryear" <martinp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2003 17:03:55 -0700 This is unfortunately a known issue with the XP audio architecture. The only "workaround" (not really a good one) is to ensure that no audio is being captured or played back when AEC is instantiated. I realize this isn't a very satisfactory response. We are addressing this in the next major version of Windows.

Hi, I'm writing full-duplex audio processing code. I've added MS AEC node to the driver stack. In most cases AEC is working fine. But, if user starts playing sound using Wave Out interfaces (for example using Windows Media Player) before our driver has inserted AEC to the driver stack, AEC doesn't work. I can't insert AEC node in topology when user-mode application is using Wave Out. Does anybody have information about it? Is there any known workaround for this problem? Thanks, Alexey
