Hi Mike, We recently fixed this behavior, however, you should be able to get things working by returning S_FALSE and returning a suggested format of 32-bit float, 48k, and channel-count unchanged. As of Winmain 5490.0.060731-1930, the SysFX APOs (GFX and LFX) will not be passed IO format pairs which require SRC or int<->float conversion, so it will be much easier for you to return S_OK or S_FALSE and specify the channelcount you desire. Let us know if you have further questions. -Jeff -----Original Message----- From: FreeLists Mailing List Manager [mailto:ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 11:04 PM To: wdmaudiodev digest users Subject: wdmaudiodev Digest V3 #116 wdmaudiodev Digest Tue, 01 Aug 2006 Volume: 03 Issue: 116 In This Issue: [wdmaudiodev] Windows Vista APO channel conversion question ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 01 Aug 2006 19:26:48 -0700 From: "Michael R. Preston" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [wdmaudiodev] Windows Vista APO channel conversion question Hi, all. I'm developing an APO for Windows Vista that will do some channel conversion in the LFX. For example, if you're playing a stereo MP3 or WMA file in Windows Media Player, and the system is in 8-channel speaker mode, I want the LFX to be in control of how the channel conversion happens. However, using Vista Beta 2, I'm having trouble setting the input format the way I want. I'm playing a 44.1 kHz MP3 or WMA file in Windows Media Player, and I'm on a system where the audio hardware is locked to 48 kHz. In IsInputFormatSupported(), I can see how Windows is trying to open the LFX. Since the system is in 8-channel mode, the output format is always 8 channels at 48 kHz to match the hardware. However, looking at the input format, Windows either wants me to sample-rate-convert the audio from 44.1 kHz to 48 kHz while allowing me to do the channel conversion, or Windows does the sample-rate-conversion and channel conversion for me before getting to my LFX. Why isn't there a 3rd option - let Windows do the sample-rate-conversion, and let my LFX do the channel conversion? Anyone have any info on this?
