About DSP Plug-ins
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
Microsoft Windows Media Player provides architecture for connecting add-on software that performs digital signal processing (DSP) functions on the audio or video streams during playback. These add-on programs are referred to as DSP plug-ins.
