I'm able to use dbgview for viewing debug messages from APOs loaded by AUDIODG.EXE, as long as the following are observed:
dbgview must be run as administrator,
the following must be checked under the "Capture" menu option:
Capture Win32
Capture Global Win32
Capture Kernel
Pass-Through
Capture Events
it may be one of the capture switches which is keeping your messages from getting through, and possibly the "Global Win32" switch.
Best,
Bill Huttel

I don't seem to see my OutputDebugString output in dbgview when my DLL is loaded into the audio engine service. I do see the messages when it gets loaded by Control Panel, but that's not the interesting case.
How can I insert a new version while I'm debugging? Even if I disable the Windows Audio and Windows Audio Endpoint Builder services and disable my HDAUDIO device, my APO DLL remains loaded in one of the service host processes, and I can't copy a new version into place while it is loaded.
Any debug hints from folks who have been in the trenches would be appreciated.
Well, for what it's worth, I can get the debug messages if I attach a debugger to the audiodg.exe process itself. I still don't understand why the messages don't appear in dbgview.
And the issue about not being able to update the DLL seems to have been a transient thing. As long as I stop the two services, I can replace the DLL just fine.
