The 522 is actually a capability bit for the wave audio device. AAsound appears to be polling the Sound driver, and the driver is reporting back some capabilities that are encoded into that value. Personally, I run a 16 bit Soundblaster card myself, and have never had this number altered. Actually, the aasound call will not alter that number at all. It will only look to see if it exists. If it exists, it reads whatever the settings are. If it doesn't exist, it will enter the line into the WIN.INI. But once the line is entered in the WIN.INI it would never be altered by that call. I guess the brute force workaround would be to have your code confirm the WIN.INI setting just before playing the sound. I am not sure why the wrong capability bit is being generated. -Brian
