We have customers that will have the same problem. Some are broadcast, like
Jeff's, and others use our products for test and measurement applications.
Both sets of customers have existing software that expects to access the
hardware through the mixer APIs. In fact, access to the main audio fader is
mandatory for the test and measurement app, so they can ensure their test
stimulus signal is not attenuated. Otherwise, it will look to their
software like the response signal has a drop in level.
Is there a white paper that talks about these changes that we could pass on
to our customers, so they have a "heads up"? Most of the public info I've
seen so far is in the HD Audio or driver realm.

Thanks Frank. The controls are showing up correctly and are functional under Device Properties as you described.
My main concern is that our products are targeted at the professional audio market, and many of our customers will be using our cards with broadcast automation and mixing desk software that expects to find these controls through the mixer API, and the loss of this functionality will seriously impact on our business.
