XAudio2Create compatibility issue?

See original GitHub issue

Hi @amerkoleci,

I had a user that had an issue with XAudio2 on Windows 10 (1809). Any ideas why ProcessorSpecifier.UseDefaultProcessor while ProcessorSpecifier.DefaultProcessor works fine? It seems - by looking at the header file - like a compatibility issue:

// This value indicates that XAudio2 will choose the default processor by itself. The actual value chosen
// may vary depending on the hardware platform.
#define XAUDIO2_USE_DEFAULT_PROCESSOR 0x00000000

// This definition is included for backwards compatibility. New implementations should use
// XAUDIO2_USE_DEFAULT_PROCESSOR instead to let XAudio2 select the appropriate default processor for the hardware platform.
#define XAUDIO2_DEFAULT_PROCESSOR Processor1

I don’t get it how this causes issues on Win 10 machine (as it uses xAudio2.9). You might want to consider using the microsoft’s nuget package? And possible review whether by default you should set the DefaultProcessor instead of UseDefaultProcessor if the dll/sdk not support it?

After upgrading to 2.1.1-beta2, audio seems to work on Windows 10 1809. I also test the 2.1.1-beta2 release on Windows 10 1607, Windows 10 1507 and the problem seems to be fixed.

Nice, thanks!
