KSPROPERTY_AUDIO_VOLUMELEVEL is a per-channel property. For more info see Exposing Multichannel Nodes: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff536380(v=VS.85).aspx Basically, in your basic-support property handler you would need to set KSPROPERTY_MEMBERSHEADER.MembersCount to the number of channels.

There, I'm maintaining an HD audio driver, and meet a question about the volume channel number. It had two channels before, and I want to change to 4 channels. But I don't know where will affect the volume channel number, or from where the system gets the volume channel number. Any suggestion and hint are appreciated. B.R. Wayne
