Windows 8.1 WPF application mixerSetControlDetails returns MMSYSERR_ERROR

Edit

After modifying the NAudio source code and doing a little debugging, I found that the function mixerSetControlDetails

called when setting the property Value

returns MMSYSERR_ERROR

.

Is there a way to get more information about why mixerSetControlDetails

it failed?

I am also open to other ways to accomplish the same in C #.

I have some code that calculates the energy in a voice and sets the microphone boost level according to this calculated value using NAudio. I have no problem reading audio samples, but when I try to adjust the microphone gain, the program gets stuck.

I have checked the problem on Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. The problem only occurs on Windows 8.1. Interestingly, when I run the program in a Windows 8.1 virtual machine, it works as expected. Could this be a permission issue?

Here is the code to set the boost value

foreach (MixerControl mixerControl in MixerLine.Controls)
{
    if (mixerControl.ControlType == MixerControlType.Volume)
    {
        UnsignedMixerControl volumeControl = (UnsignedMixerControl)mixerControl;

        volumeControl.Value = (uint) value;
    }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

If MixerLine is created in advance using this code.

MixerLine = new MixerLine((IntPtr) deviceID, 0, MixerFlags.WaveIn);
