I wonder if we could harvest this in some way from the Windows drivers? Does Windows care about the dB data at all? Maybe one could extract this information from their .inf files or so, if they store it there?
It could well be, for this sort of stuff grovelling around in the MSDN driver kit documentation will normally turn something up.
I wonder where they get that data from and what they do with broken hardware like the Aureon... Now I wished I had access to a Windows machine to figure that out...
IME this is dealt with by the manufacturer providing a driver, a device specific driver will bind in preference to a class driver and with Windows it's much more normal to ship a device specific driver along with the device. I've no knowledge of Windows audio drivers, though.
