Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have an application that is running on a Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3-based device.

  • In the application, multiple threads call any of the following waveform audio functions at the same time by using the same audio device handle:

    • waveOutReset

    • waveInReset

    • waveOutClose

    • waveInClose


In this scenario, you may notice that the waveform audio function is not returned in some threads. Additionally, blocking of the function continues indefinitely.

Cause

This problem occurs because the implementation of the functions is not thread-safe.
