Hmm…. can you create a dump file of audiodg.exe in the hung state, and send it
to me off-list?
1. Set the DisableProtectedAudioDg registry key as described here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff538609(v=vs.85).aspx
2. Reboot (or just net stop audiosrv and net start audiosrv) so the key
change takes effect
3. Get into the hung state (net stop audiosrv should take the place of
shutting down so you can still interact with the computer)
4. Go into Task Manager | More details | Details | Find the audiodg.exe
process | Right-click | Create dump file
Symbols for your APO .dll would also help.

Subject: [wdmaudiodev] audiodg.exe hangs while system is shutting down on
Windows 8.1
Hi All,
We are developing an APO for Input devices.
For echo cancellation, we use Loop-back feature and we use similar method as
described in:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd370800%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
To capture the render audio data, we have a thread in APO.
We are facing issues on Windows 8.1 OS (both 32bit and 64bit) that happen in
below use case:
a. Start Windows Sound Recorder. This will load our Input APO (MFX on Windows
8.1 or LFX on Windows 7) in memory under audidg.exe.
b. Shutdown the Windows OS.
When system is getting shutting down, input APO gets APO::UnlockForProcess and
then we make a call to IAudioClient -> Stop method. But, IAudioClient -> Stop
method hangs! This is issue 1.
IAudioClient -> Stop executes in a capture thread and we wait for the thread to
complete its task. Because capture thread is already in hung state
WaitForSingleObject on thread handle times out. Then we release the objects
that we hold and IAudioCaptureClient -> Release hangs too. This is issue number
2.
Some consequences that we saw on above hangs are as follows:
Because audiodg.exe is in hung state, System does not shutdown properly and
"System" process (process ID: 4) makes the system to Sleep. We observe this
behavior via Event Viewer application where we can see an Event ID 42 is added
with "The system is entering sleep. Sleep Reason: Application API" description.
When we start the machine again, it starts in the same state where audiodg.exe
is in hung state! So, we cannot use input or output device anymore unless we
kill audiodg.exe and restart the audio services again.
More analysis:
We saw that when we make IAudioClient -> Stop method call, IAudioSessionEvents::
OnStateChanged -> AudioSessionStateInactive gets called on Windows 7 while
system is shutting down. But, same method does not executed on Windows 8.1!
Any help or idea on how to solve these issues would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Dhaval
