NS_E_PDA_FAIL_READ_WAVE_FILE
How to investigate NS_E_PDA_FAIL_READ_WAVE_FILE
The code 0xC00D117D narrows the event to opening and parsing a WAV source used for device transfer or conversion. Retain the first lower-level error.
What the Player is doing
A device shown in Explorer can still disappear from the Player’s WMDM session or reject a media format, filename, directory operation or storage request. A realistic trigger is that a truncated RIFF/WAVE header prevents the transfer pipeline from reading audio.
Capture before changing state
| Evidence | Why it matters for fail read wave file |
|---|---|
| Producing object and operation | PnP instance and interface path, WMDM service-provider CLSID, device/partnership ID, connection generation, storage object and capacity, format-support result, firmware version, operation callback and first device or transport HRESULT |
| Key observation | source path, WAVEFORMATEX, file size, read offset and filesystem/parse result |
| Controlled comparison | Repeat the producing call after changing only this condition: repair or replace the unreadable WAV while preserving the device target settings. |
Five-step isolation test
- Capture
0xC00D117D, the exact Player/API operation and the first timestamp at which it appears. - Save source path, WAVEFORMATEX, file size, read offset and filesystem/parse result; do this before ejecting media, reconnecting a device, canceling a job or rebuilding the Player object.
- Correlate the result with PnP instance and interface path, WMDM service-provider CLSID, device/partnership ID, connection generation, storage object and capacity, format-support result, firmware version, operation callback and first device or transport HRESULT.
- Reproduce once with the original source and destination, then apply only this change: repair or replace the unreadable WAV while preserving the device target settings.
Different conditions in the same family
| Related result | Different condition |
|---|---|
NS_E_PDA_FAIL_SELECT_DEVICE | binding the operation to the user-selected device from the current enumeration |
NS_E_PDA_DEVICE_FULL | checking free device storage before adding the requested object |
NS_E_PDA_UNSPECIFIED_ERROR | receiving a device/service-provider failure without a more specific Player mapping |
Correction criteria
The test is successful when you repair or replace the unreadable WAV while preserving the device target settings, recreate the owning operation, and the original call no longer returns it.
During verification, do not assume the old interface pointer remains valid after reconnect; Re-enumerate the device and storage objects and correlate the failure with the same connection generation.
