Yes, hEventPoolIn is the event I pass in the overlapped structure to my
DeviceIoControl function. I am not using 5 ms timeout always. I was just
playing with several values. I have tried many other values larger than 10
or 16 ms but there is no change.
No, I am not doing a loopback. I take the input data, process it i.e.
separate the multi channel data into 2 separate channels and then give it to
the host application which fills in my output buffers. These output buffers
are then sent to the render pin (again using DeviceIoControl and
IOCTL_KS_WRITE_STREAM).
As you must have realized, all this is done inside an audio driver that I am
writing.
Thanks again for your help,
Pallavi
