Hi, You cannot hear anything because the VAD is not linked to any hardware audio device. You need to reroute the audio from the VAD to a physical audio device. I am not sure about this, but I think that we cannot add FxProperties to this MSVAD because it is a WaveCyclic Driver. Perhaps It would be possible with the new sample from Microsoft AEVAD ( http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowshardware/audio-engine-virtual-audio-174876a3 ), which is a WaveRT Driver. Best, M'hand.
