All,
We have wave driver that doesn't show any mixer devices under
Vista RC-1, even when we do the following "compatibility" step:
"{Starting with RC1 (build 6500) you can activate the mixer shim by
checking the "Run this program in compatibility mode for: XP (Service
Pack 2)"."
This driver does not present a WDM audio interface. Instead, a DLL is
loaded by entries in Drivers32 (wave and mixer) and this communicates
via a custom interface to a kernel driver.
Our test application in this case is a simple console application that
calls mixerGetNumDevs() and mixerGetDevCaps(). Thats all. We have added
a call to GetVersionEx() to verify that the "shim" is running.
This raises some questions:
1) is compatibility mode supposed to work with DLLs, or does it expect
a WDM audio interface ?
2) anyone else had issues similar to this one ?
3) any suggestions about what to test next ?
Thanks,
Andrew
