Hanselminutes on 9 - Inside Secret Microsoft Meeting Rooms - What Laptop do Alpha Geeks Use?
Jul 07, 2009 at 10:37 PMWow. I'd love to have the crappiest of those laptops.
Mine's a Toshiba A100 with 1G of RAM and a 60G hard disk.

You're asking too much of your high end expensive machine
Many applications (Skype, Live Messenger, WMP, etc) have UI which allows them to redirect their audio to any device, as does the Windows Sounds stuff. Unfortuantely the Media Center team hasn't chosen to add this support to their application which prevents you from getting your scenario to work.

No, we're not using GetTickCount. It's 53 milliseconds, not 55 millisecond, and the test cases in question were using USB, so they included a fair amount of driver overhead as well.
The relevent bit is that we've shaved more than 25ms of latency off the audio pipeline (if the driver supports low latency mode).

To be clear: The HID keys not working at the logon screen wasn't a "vista" thing, it was a "windows" thing - it's never worked in any version of Windows before Win7. -
Hardware Loopback is a function of the hardware and the driver. Some drivers support it, some don't.
On one of my test machines, hardware loopback is supported, on another it isn't. There's nothing particularly "difficult" about supporting it in Vista, it's supported exactly the same as it is in XP.
