Regarding issue 2, what event causes your application to look for the new
endpoint in mmdevapi? Ideally, the application should implement
IMMNotificationClient to receive mmdevapi notifications about endpoint changes.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd371417(VS.85).aspx.
(I think the number of your issues 1 and 2 flip-flopped between your first and
last messages.)

The 2 issues still exist after changing the device registration order (create
port, register physical connection, register subdevice).
1) The endpoint still LOST randomly.
However, the endpoint will appear after restarting "Windows Audio Endpoint
Builder" service.
2) The endpoint can not be found through MMDevice API randomly, if we try to
locate it sooner after the endpoint registration.
In this case, we could find the endpoint if we retry several times.
It seems that the MMDevice API needs some time to update the device
endpoint info.
So I have 2 questions:
About issue1:
How should driver informs Audio Endpoint Builder to reenumerate the
endpoints?
About issue2:
I want to know the latency between device registration and MMDevice API get
the device information.
How long do I need to wait for the API ready (MMDevice API populate the
endpoint info)?
Thanks.

The ac97 sample is wrong in this respect for Vista. The registering the
topology subdevice MUST be the last thing you do, and unregistering it must be
the first thing. There was a post from one of the Microsoft people some time
back about this. Apparently the audio engine starts building an endpoint when
the topology port is registered, but if the wave subdevice and/or physical
connection isn't present all hell breaks loose.

Thanks Jeff.
I follows the WDK ac97 samples to instantiate/uninstantiate the audio
subdevice, and in most cases it works well.
That is:
create wave/topology port/miniport -> register wave/topology subdevice ->
register physical connection when instantiating subdevice and
remove physical connection -> unregister wave/topology subdevcie->release ports
when uninstantiating subdevices.
I doubt whether this is a timing issue.
That is to say, I should wait some for the audio subsystem to prepare the audio
api's well.
Thanks again.
Regards.

Make sure that when a subdevice is instantiated, you create the wave and
topology ports/miniports, register the physical connection, THEN register the
wave subdevice and finally the topology subdevice. Likewise when removing a
subdevice, unregister the topology subdevice first, then the wave subdevice,
the physical connection and finally release the ports. Apparently if it's not
done in that order, a race condition can occur which does what you're
describing.

Subject: [wdmaudiodev] Problems about dynamic audio subdevice on Vista
Hello everyone,
I am develping an audio driver which implement dynamic audio subdevice on
windows vista.
The audio subdevice can be instantiated/uninstantiated on behalf of user's
request through deviceIO control.
Afterinstantiating the audio subdevice, the user would like to locate thate
audio endpoints through MMDevice API and render through that device.
In most cases these are running without trouble except two strange issues.
1) Can't locate the audio subdevice through MMDevice API although we can see it
in system audio control panel
2) Can't see the audio subdevice in system audio control panel
In case 2, the audio subdevice will appear in system audio control panel if we
restart the "Windows Audio Endpoint Builder" services.
Any pointers on these 2 issues are greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
HW
