Nitpick: you probably want 0x60f instead of 0x3f or 0; that is, you want side
speakers rather than rear speakers or a "direct out" channel mask.
To try instantiating a pin in KS Studio, instantiate the filter first, then
right-click the streaming pin factory and choose "Instantiate." You will then
be able to enter all the parameters to KsCreatePin.

The speaker configuration wizard in the Sound control panel doesn't affect KS
Studio; it just tells the Windows audio engine what to pass to KsCreatePin.

Matthew, a little more exploration and things get more puzzling. For reference
I'm using the cross paltform Portaudio library with exclusive WASAPI mode as we
also have to test this stuff on a Mac.
1. Configure as 2 channel device, all is good. Device is enumerated
correctly, stream precisely the sample pattern we have loaded into firmware.
Channel mask is 0
2. Configure as 6 channel device, WASAPI baulks claiming sample format
not supported etc (can send you more detail if interested)
3. Configure as 6 channel device with channel mask set to 0x3F, c.
What Is even stranger is that if I run up Audacity (cross-platform audio
editor) the device does not appear if WASAPI mode is selected. It *does* appear
if DirectSound is specified as the audio engine. And to put things right out
there into the twilight zone, for DirectSound reverse the outcomes for
configurations 2 and 3 - i.e. DirectSound mode streams zeroes if, and only if,
the channel mask is set to zero.
Thoughts?
Many thanks.
KS Studio spew follows for 6 channel mode, apparently identical if channelmask
is set to 0x00 or to 0x3F.
( I'm unsure if the failed queries are an issue. Precisely the same is reported
when I instantiate a filter for an M-Audio PCI soundcard and others):

Subject: [wdmaudiodev] Re: USB Audio/WASAPI channel limits?
Well, let's see...
You can use KS Studio to validate directly that instantiating a pin with a
(say) 40-channel WAVEFORMATEX works.
If your data ranges advertise only a (say) 40-channel format, then I would
expect shared-mode capture not to work at all, since Windows has no idea how to
downmix 40 channels without a channel mask to, e.g., mono. Whether
exclusive-mode capture should work in this situation is less clear.
If you advertise both a (say) 2-channel format and a 40-channel format, then I
would expect shared-mode capture to work (in 2-channel mode) and I would also
expect exclusive-mode capture to work in both 2-channel mode and 40-channel
mode (with a zero channel mask.) If that is not the case I would open a support
ticket on http://support.microsoft.com/ since there's likely a bug in the
capture stack.
It would be helpful to know what function was failing (e.g.,
IAudioClient::IsFormatSupported(AUDCLNT_SHAREMODE_EXCLUSIVE, ...)) as well as
the specific HRESULT that was being returned.

Yes. It is odd. The descriptors all appear valid.
Can I infer there are no explicit limitations in the stack? This is possibly
not a show stopper as 32+ channels is a large number in most practical
contexts. However, and annoyingly, the audio system for another well-known
proprietary OS seems happy to allow us to stream 80 channels ...
Thanks and any other suggestions welcomed.

The "channel mask" section of a WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE is a 32-bit number.
Perhaps you're tripping some wave format validation that assumes a valid
WAVEFORMATEX only ever has fewer than 32 channels. (This sounds like a bug to
me, since a channel mask of zero is always valid.)

Subject: [wdmaudiodev] USB Audio/WASAPI channel limits?
Greetings.
I'm developing a USB2 input only audio device that exposes a large (N >= 24)
number of channels.
The device is recognized and streams correctly on W7x64 at up to 32 channels,
48K sample rate and both 16 and 24 bit sample sizes. Data is recorded
accurately using various commercial WASAPI hosts (Sonar/Tracktion)
Windows, however, appears to baulk at any larger channel count. The various USB
tracers (both stack and wire) show Windows sending a QUERY_CAPABILITIES every
second or so when device is configured with 32 channels. Anything above that
and zero action.
Is there some hard limit or have I missed something?
Cheers.
Jerry
