Ok, I will try that, but the problem is not in this way:
It is: when I call SetMasterVolume, Windows Media Player does not get it (on
the graphic side and on audio side = no effect at all – the Windows Volume
Mixer is getting it and move his slider, but not Windows Media Player).

Passing nullptr or &GUID_NULL is fine.
The reason the API allows passing an event context is because in some use cases
it is important for a callback to be able to recognize changes that were
initiated from the same app.
In such a case, you would define a GUID of your own, say,
GUID_VOICEMEETER_VOLUME_UI. Whenever you called
IAudioSessionControl::SetMasterVolume, you would pass
&GUID_VOICEMEETER_VOLUME_UI.
Then in your IAudioSessionEvents::OnSimpleVolumeChanged callback, you would be
able to do:
if (*EventContext == GUID_VOICEMEETER_VOLUME_UI) {
// this is a change that I initiated coming back to me
} else {
// this change came from somewhere else
}

Hey Matthew, thanks to finally make a developer response !
Yes, I could make a small minimal program to isolate the problem and give you
the source code, but you normally should be able to reproduce it with yours…
Anyway you made a remark that sounds interesting to me: the Event Context GUID
passed in SetMasterVolume() is NULL or null_guid (tried both).
Do you mean we need to use a specific Event Context GUID for the Windows Media
Player ? if yes which one, how are we expected to get it ? is there other
application needing a specific Event Context GUID ? we got the problem only
with Windows Media Player.

I know ISimpleAudioVolume::SetMasterVolume works (at least some of the time) –
which was your second question – because the Volume Mixer and Windows Media
Player use it, and as you demonstrated in your original email, the Volume Mixer
and Windows Media Player work (at least some of the time.)
It doesn’t work from your app, which tells me your app is doing something
different. Either the bug is in your app, or the bug is in Windows, but only
happens when the API is being used the way your app uses it.
I am interested in chasing down the possibility that the bug is in Windows,
which is why I asked for logs. I don’t know why you’re unwilling to provide
them, it should be easy to do so. I often (but not always) get logs from other
people, and often (but not always) the logs are helpful in finding problems.
If you can share the source code for your app, or a pull request for the
minimum change to the sample that repros the problem, that might also help me
find where the bug is (whether it’s in the app or Windows.)
Anyway, let’s pretend logging didn’t exist, and GitHub didn’t exist. What
arguments are you passing to ISimpleAudioVolumeLevel::SetMasterVolume,
especially for the EventContext GUID? Have you registered for
IAudioSessionEvents::RegisterAudioSessionNotification callbacks? Are you doing
anything at all exciting in the callback, e.g. waiting on a lock?

Yes Pete, Matthew is the audio developer! This is what I thought !
He even made some sample code on his
https://github.com/mvaneerde/blog<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fmvaneerde%2Fblog&data=02%7C01%7CMatthew.van.Eerde%40microsoft.com%7C38a7b02b0db140d8c4ea08d6340ea795%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636753635018235149&sdata=kv9wvzomJT%2FDMPYK2c9H%2FBEsTtKJX1QADquexJ5C3gE%3D&reserved=0>
to show how to use IAudioSessionControl / ISimpleAudioVolume and so on…
That’s why I‘ve originally put my question to him directly,
I remind that my question is simply
“why ISimpleAudioVolume->SetMasterVolume does not work with Windows Media
Player ?”
Which is can be reproducible under WIN7 as well … meaning no-one got the
problem in the last 10 years at Microsoft ?
At the end, I did not get a reply from a developer … so … it’s like having no
developer finally…
BTW, Pete, since you are there, could you tell me if you know someone at
Microsoft who tested the HLK process on SYSVAD example in the last 6 months ?

Hi Vincent.
Matthew is one of the audio developers. 😊
If you noticed what I suggested earlier, it was that you log in the feedback
hub so it collects the info that the developers need, and also gets put into
Visual Studio. Then you post a link to the feedback item here. You can get the
link by clicking the share button at the top right in the Feedback Hub.
Then you have:
* The correct information
* The right entry point into the workstream
* The developer's attention 😊
This is what teams often ask us to do even with internally reported bugs that
for other teams.

I know it can sound like it's a do-nothing request, but I know from my own

No luck so…
Just tried to post it on the social forum you pointed , and it says :
• Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify

Just paid 1000$ this week to renew my Visual Studio subscription, and what ?
they cannot verify my account !? :-) but they can take money!
Here it is my question:
TITLE: IAudioSessionControl / ISimpleAudioVolume->SetMasterVolume does not work
with Windows Media Player
QUESTION: In our new Voicemeeter Virtual Audio Mixer Application, we use
IAudioSessionManager2 to enumerate audio sessions on our Virtual Audio Input
and we use ISimpleAudioVolume->SetMasterVolume to change the volume of a given
application... It works with all applications except with Windows Media Player
(WIN7 or WIN10).
When changing the volume on Windows Media Player, it changes on Windows Volume
Mixer and Voicemeeter.
When changing the volume on Windows Mixer , it changes the volume on Windows
Media Player and Voicemeeter.
When changing the volume on Voicemeeter, it changes the volume on Windows
Mixer, but not on Windows Media Player.
Why?

Well, we are talking about bugs that are present since years,
And some are there since WIN7 (I even talked about WASAPI bugs on this list
that are present since VISTA)
So no, you cannot say that your company cares about Audio.
I thank you for your personal effort, but as I already suggested, the feedback
hub is useless if there is no-one to read it and check the problem and correct
it.
It’s like the story about HLK certification, it’s just showing the
way…Microsoft build an audio driver official example, Microsoft build a
certification process, mandatory to sign this driver, and no-one at Microsoft
is checking that SYSVAD is passing the HLK tests !?! Madness ?
Anyway I’ve played recently with IAudioSessionManager2, IAudioSessionControl
etc… and I have 2 or 3 questions about this (totally bugged btw).
Since I saw you have GitHub for an example of code on these interfaces, let me
know where do you prefer I put my questions ?

Hello,
The problem is there since WIN7 and it seems the reboot is finalizing the
uninstallation (this is the only way we found to be sure about the audio driver
de-installation) .
…with WIN10 there is additional problems regarding driver
installation/de-installation, especially re-installation (used by WIN10
automatic update).
Also devcon.exe seems to be bugged and can install 2 instances of your audio
driver, the instance will be marked as disabled, but de-installation won’t be
clear anyway if you don’t de-install manually the disabled occurrence of your
driver…
Microsoft does not care about this and the only reply will get is “please post
a request in feedback hub”
