Re: Starting a driver



w/out broadcom's help, i do not think you will get a viable solution that works across multiple broadcom releases.

My problem is how to activate or enumerate btaudio.sys once I
establish
audio connection to the headset. The SDK that comes with the stack
does not do this however it provides API to create audio connection.

When I asked Broadcom, they replied that they have a gluelogic that
they use in their stack but not in their SDK. They weren't willing
to provide additional info. They simply brushed off my questions.

To workaround this issue I thought I could convert msvad into a
sort off pass-through driver. ie. its lower edge will be btaduio.sys.

msvad is also a PortCls driver like btaudio.sys. The only difference
is msvad shows up in Control Panel | Sounds and Audio Devices where
as btaudio doesn't.
