Windows 7
Windows 7 64-bit
Class Driver
Fidelity Test -
Win7 (System,
Manual)
07/31/2015 598
Erratum
The European Union requires the headphone output level to be
<= 150 mVrms for headphone jacks. There's a note in WLP
requirement AUDIO-0006 that states, in the presence of
regional regulations, the output level requirement for
headphones is dropped from >= 1000 mVrms to >= 120 mVrms.
This provides freedom for manufacturers to meet both the EU
<= 150 mVrms @ 32 Ohms and the WLP >= 120 mVrms @ 32
Ohms requirements. The Fidelity Test tests headphones at 300
Ohm load, though. Without knowledge of the output impedance
at the jack, the test cannot extrapolate what the output level at
32 Ohms would have been from the output level at 300 Ohms.
The test assumes that the output level at 32 Ohms will be
*less* than the output level at 300 Ohms, though. So any
measurement >= 120 mVrms at 300 Ohms "could be" a passing
result, depending on the output impedance.

Class Driver AC3
Test - Win7
(System)
6/30/2025 1256
Erratum
Run AC3 test on a system with the Microsoft HD Audio class
driver installed. Expected results: All AC3 kernel streaming data
ranges should advertise MinimumBitsPerSample = 16 and
MaximumBitsPerSample = 16. Actual results: HD Audio class
driver sometimes advertises MaximumBitsPerSample = 24.

PCI Hardware
Compliance Test
For Systems
12/01/2012 401
Erratum
The following PCI Compliance test failure is acceptable: Bit 15
(Bridge Configuration Retry Enable) in the Device Control
register (offset 8h) in the PCI Express Capability table must be
read-only and always return 0 as it is reserved for devices other
than PCI Express to PCI/PCI-X Bridges. Assertion 13A41D3E-
2576-41DC-A67C-525DA3637CEA This failure is acceptable
because this is a PCIe 1.1 feature and the WLP requires
compliance with only PCIe 1.0a.
Windows 7
Windows 7 64-bit
PCI Hardware
Compliance Test
For Systems
12/01/2012 1241
Erratum
This happens because the PCI Compliance test assumes that if
the Data Link Layer Link Active Reporting Capable bit in the Link
Capabilities register for a given PCIe port is set then that
indicates that the Data Link Layer Link Active bit will also be set.

UAA Test - Win7
(System)
06/01/2015 513
Erratum
UAA Test requires the Traffic Priority bit to be read/write -
however there are two specs that apply, and they conflict. One
says the bit must be read/write, the other says it must be read-
only. Contact has been made with the author of both specs
(Intel) but until this point is clarified we cannot fail submissions
containing this test failure.

UAA Test - Win7
(System)
06/01/2015 1300
Erratum
HD Audio pin configuration document calls out setting Port
Connectivity to No Connection as the way to turn a pin off in a
particular system. UAA Test incorrectly tests such pins.

UAA Test - Win7
(System)
06/01/2013 1670
Erratum
HDMI audio devices are backed by video pipes; if a graphics
subsystem exposes three output ports, but only has two video
pipes, it is not possible to get all three HDMI audio endpoints
"active" simultaneously.

Erratum
Errata 1787 This Preview Test is being filtered until the
expiration date of this Errata. After the expiration date of this
filter these failures must be fixed to have a passing submission.
Microsoft strongly recommends that these errors be
investigated prior to this test or job being required for
submission. XHCI spec compliance test is in preview
