Huh? What does any of this have to do with audio drivers? This is a discussion
list about how to write audio drivers.
Your first question sounds like a bug in either Candy Crush itself or in
whatever audio APIs Candy Crush is using. Can you file this bug in Feedback
Hub? We can either fix it ourselves or relay it to whoever owns Candy Crush,
depending.
If you’re curious, here’s a blog post where I talk about how to discover what
APIs apps use to play and record audio:

The answer to your second question is “use the process ID”. There are two
different code paths you have to take, depending on whether the process is a
Store app or not.

Subject: [wdmaudiodev] Question about IAudioSessionControl & Candy Crush Soda
Saga
Hello,
Regarding IAudioSessionControl we have basically 2 problems with Candy Crush
Soda Saga delivery with WIN10:
1- It creates 2 Audio sessions (with different GroupingParam) , one is not
active. this can be seen on the Windows Mixer itself (see picture attached).
groupID {55C986DA-757B-4C10-A3FB-4DC9C75C0726} _GUID
SessionIdentifier:
"{0.0.0.00000000}.{db0fec5a-d3c5-405a-ba20-dc6f4df2d8f2}|#%b{3171F6E2-B5AD-409B-B696-22115DEEF86B}"
wszApplicationName: 0x005aebcc "C:\Program
Files\WindowsApps\king.com.CandyCrushSodaSaga_1.114.500.0_x86__kgqvnymyfvs32\stritz.exe"
ProcessUID: 580
groupID {E587D2E2-46AC-4F38-84D3-8301C1A2EAED} _GUID
SessionIdentifier:
"{0.0.0.00000000}.{db0fec5a-d3c5-405a-ba20-dc6f4df2d8f2}|\Device\HarddiskVolume4\Program
Files\WindowsApps\king.com.CandyCrushSodaSaga_1.114.500.0_x86__kgqvnymyfvs32\stritz.exe%b{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}"
wszApplicationName: 0x0085e7a4 "C:\Program
Files\WindowsApps\king.com.CandyCrushSodaSaga_1.114.500.0_x86__kgqvnymyfvs32\stritz.exe"
ProcessUID: 580
QUESTION: Is there a way to deal with these 2 sessions or is
there a bug needing to be corrected somewhere ?
2- We did not find any way to get icon / application name of this both
session.
Windows Enumeration gives 2 handles that have no icon and no name … And the
application directory seems to be protected in a way we cannot extract any
information from the “stritz.exe” resource section.
QUESTION: How to get icon and application name of Candy Crush
Soda Saga from IAudioSessionControl ? How does the Windows Volume Mixer
application ?
Regards
Vincent Burel
