Bug 1: Stack Pointer vs Heap Pointer (Line 569, 574)
Problem: Code allocated heap memory for WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE structs but passed pointers to stack variables instead of the allocated heap memory to the property store.
Fix: Use the allocated heap pointers (pEndpointFormat, pMixFormat) in PROPVARIANT.blob.pBlobData.

Bug 2: AccessViolation / Memory Leaks
Problem: If CoCreateInstance for IPolicyConfig failed, or if SetValue/Commit threw an exception, the allocated memory was never freed. Also, Release was called on the wrong pointer.
Fixes:

  • Wrapped all operations in try/finally to guarantee FreeCoTaskMem is called
  • Fixed policy->Vtbl->Release(pPolicyOut) → policy->Vtbl->Release(policy) (Release expects the interface pointer, not the output pointer)

Files Changed

  • src/AutoOS.Core/Helpers/Sound/SoundHelper.cs - SetAudioFormat method (lines 547-590)

…Format

The code allocated heap memory for WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE structs but incorrectly passed pointers to stack variables instead of the allocated heap memory. This caused the property store to read from invalid memory after the function returns.
- Wrap policy creation and property store operations in try/finally to ensure allocated memory is always freed
- Fix incorrect Release call on IPolicyConfig interface (use interface pointer instead of original output pointer)
- Prevents memory leaks if CoCreateInstance for policy fails or if SetValue/Commit throws
