Introduction to WDM - Windows drivers | Microsoft Docs
mwdn A KS filter exposes a collection of pin factories to the audio system. For the most common kinds of devices, the Windows Driver Kit WDK supplies a sample set of fully functional system drivers.
If IRPs are not queued in the device queue associated with the driver's device object, this field can be used by the driver to store up to four pointers. When possible, a cross-system driver should conform to the lowest WDM version on any operating system. Read about this change in our blog post.
Introduction to WDM Audio Drivers
wmd Device Objects and Device Stacks describes device objects and device stacks. A typical audio adapter card might contain audio devices for playing a wave stream through a set of speakers, converting the audio signal from a microphone to a wave stream, and synthesizing sound from a MIDI stream. For updates and information about new features of the WDM audio architecture, see the audio technology website.
This set mmsdn device objects is called a stack. Send comments about this topic to Microsoft.
Windows Driver Model (WDM)
For more device type-specific information, see Device and Driver Technologies. I have a list of WDM books in my previous post, however I would like to be more specific: To allow driver developers to write device drivers that are source-code compatible across all Microsoft Windows wfm systems, the Windows Driver Model WDM was introduced.
Is this page helpful? WDM simplifies the design of kernel-mode drivers that are written to run on multiple versions of the Windows operating system. A packet consists of two different parts:. Feedback We'd love to hear your thoughts. A much more complete description of WDM and a comparision with the linux driver model can be found here. Consequently, many of the system's drivers have a layered architecture so that certain drivers can be reused to support new drivers for similar devices.
The buffer's length is specified by Parameters. In this section, the term filter refers to a KS filter rather than a filter driver unless noted otherwise. Microsoft's Introduction to WDM describes the basic terms, like types of drivers bus drivers, filter drivers, function drivers and the differences between the various WDM versions Wikipedia also provides some material on the same topic both here and here.
In this model, an audio adapter can be viewed as a collection of hardware devices, and the adapter driver exposes each of these devices to the audio system as an individual filter.

Individual sample drivers can be used as models when developing new drivers for similar kinds of devices. The operating system connects the filters to other filters to form filter graphs that process audio streams on behalf of application programs.
There are three kinds of WDM drivers: Choose the type you'd like to provide: Consequently, many of the system's drivers have a layered architecture so that certain drivers can be reused to support new drivers for similar devices. Note that the term KS filter must be distinguished from the term filter driverwhich is another WDM concept.
This field can be used only while the driver owns the IRP. March 14, at 8: Unfortunately, most of the material in the web either replicates the same information or is much more advanced to read.
Feedback We'd love to hear your thoughts. I'm writing this mddn mostly for completeness.
