NS_E_WAVE_OPEN
NS_E_WAVE_OPEN: Windows Media could not open the selected wave/audio device for the requested direction or format
NS_E_WAVE_OPEN (0xC00D006D) identifies a specific Windows Media/platform boundary: Windows Media could not open the selected wave/audio device for the requested direction or format. Keep this stage visible instead of collapsing it into a generic playback, network, or configuration failure.
Evidence to preserve
Record device endpoint/id, share mode, requested WAVEFORMATEX, owning process, driver version, and the underlying waveOut/waveIn open result.
Controlled verification
Release conflicting ownership or select a format/device the endpoint supports, then open the same path again before testing playback/recording.
