forked from unom/punktfunk
The user challenged the format-locked-pins verdict, and the pad program is the counter-evidence: it hit the SAME 0x88890008 unopenable-endpoint signature and cured it with a COHERENT stamp set, after which the same driver family served 4ch happily. This branch previous attempts were contaminated twice over — a float device-format (the pad bisect proved the split must be PCM16 device / float mix+host) and no AudioEndpointBuilder restart (Restart-Service Audiosrv never touches its dependency, so endpoint configs were never rebuilt). Both mic endpoints now get one identical coherent stereo set; the octave-low hypothesis shifts from "raw crossing by design" to "the two endpoint stores disagreed (stereo render default vs mono capture default)".
