Frank, Actually, your results are extremely helpful. Now I know this is a bug which is a step forward. Thanks. My hardware (HDSP 9652) is currently unsupported, but we are trying to get it to work. I just needed verification that the command worked the way you say.

May I ask what hardware you are using, and if you attempted to use (or could you try out?) both mono and stereo wave files? I am curious whether for you a mono wave file would be played on all channels, as my driver is currently doing, or just channel 1, and whether a stereo file is played as mono or in stereo. Anyway, your response was exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks much for verifying this. Cheers, Mark
