[wdmaudiodev] Exposing a topology to Vista

Hello,
 
I have constructed an audio driver that currently consists of a WaveCyclic 
filter and a Topology filter. The topology I expose from these filters appears 
fine in Windows XP and KsStudio. However I am not having as much luck within 
Vista…
 
When the ‘sounds’ applet from the control panel in Vista is opened the correct 
playback and recording endpoints appear and have the correct properties 
associated with them (i.e. volume, mute, etc). However a red cross appears on 
the speaker in the system tray and the message “No audio device is installed” 
appears when I click on ‘Open Volume Mixer’…
 
I’ve searched the archives for this group and browsed the internet but cannot 
find any clues as to what may be causing this. Does the group have any 
suggestions? Or can someone point me in the right direction, particularly in 
where I can find documentation regarding the way in which Vista (or XP for that 
matter) discovers the driver’s topology. 
 
Most of my topology’s pins have custom names; does Vista look for specific 
names?
 
Thanks,
 
Andrew Murray
