I have gotten to a point where I can send and receive all verbs to the codec, initialize and even use a the DMA (to play a wave file read directly into memory for now) on my HD Audio device, and I'm back to the problem of exposing the top side of this driver. Currently I am loading based on all of the recommended startup sequences<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms790534.aspx>and subdevice creations <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms790400.aspx> for the port class driver using a Topology miniport and (now decided based on HD Audio documentation <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms790324.aspx>) WaveCyclic miniport. I don't get anything but STATUS_SUCCESS from any of these functions during bringup , and it looks good when stepping through. I do know that I never receive a callback (which occurs in the MSVAD stock sample) PropertyHandler_WaveFilter which is defined to be used here (pulled from MSVAD sample): //============================================================================= static PCPROPERTY_ITEM PropertiesWaveFilter[] = { { &KSPROPSETID_General, KSPROPERTY_GENERAL_COMPONENTID, KSPROPERTY_TYPE_GET | KSPROPERTY_TYPE_BASICSUPPORT, PropertyHandler_WaveFilter }, { &KSPROPSETID_Pin, KSPROPERTY_PIN_PROPOSEDATAFORMAT, KSPROPERTY_TYPE_SET | KSPROPERTY_TYPE_BASICSUPPORT, PropertyHandler_WaveFilter } }; DEFINE_PCAUTOMATION_TABLE_PROP(AutomationWaveFilter, PropertiesWaveFilter); //============================================================================= I am missing something here, but I feel that I understand logically how this is supposed to work. I've read as much on MSDN, this list and Google as I can. I've scoured the INF to ensure that everything is correct, and played around with different things like security and double checked to ensure GUIDs are correct. I feel like I've expired as many options as possible, so if anyone might have any advice on what the culprit might be it would really help. Thanks!
