Hi, I'm trying to receive unmodified audio data in my audio driver in Vista. What I've already done is to disable the APO, set the format of the endpoint to the same format as the media file, and set all relevant volume control to 0dB level. I'm using WMP to play the audio file which is a wave file. What I'm seeing so far is that I can receive the unmodified data if the format is at 96kHz 24bit, but not when the format is at 48kHz 16bit. Is there additional settings that need to be set before a driver can receive 48kHz 16bit data without modification, or is there some background processing that is done in the audio stack for 16bit audio that resulted in drivers not being able to receive unmodified audio data for 16bit? Thanks KS
