If an application terminates without having properly closed the audio device, the device remains open until the system is restarted.

Is there a way to close an open device (or take ownership) when the original owner has terminated?

Is there a way the device driver can know to close it automatically when the owning application has terminated?

You might try adding some exception handling to your application to make sure that if the app closes abnormally, at least the audio driver gets closed. I understand you can use TRY/CATCH expressions, but I don't have experience with them myself.

If your application ends up leaving the device driver open, I think the only way you can clear it is to to restart CE (e.g. \windows\restart.exe).
