This is referring to voe_ui_win_test.

TR.PMJU: are you sure you have recording and playout devices on your system? Not having any devices is the only obvious way this could happen.

If you do, could you check the value of nameStr, just before the assert? That might give us a clue.

nameStr	0x002cf17c "楹﹀厠椋?(High Definition Audio 璁惧)"	char [128]

Ray, this looks like it might be an actual problem, perhaps due to the (Chinese?) characters. Please assign when you get a chance.

Hi, I will look into this issue, but first could please collect the trace file. Set trace filter to ALL and try to keep the test as short as possible, like 30 sec.

You can enable tracing for voe_ui_win_test application in WinTestDlg.cpp. 
Just comment out this code: 
VoiceEngine::SetTraceFilter(kTraceAll);

i think it is  the (Chinese?) characters, "楹﹀厠椋?(High Definition Audio 璁惧)
so i changed the property of the project to widechar ,which default to unicode.
and  make the changes above.then it can run,but the chinese character shows error.

Thanks for you feedback. I try to recreate it. 

I have changed my display language to Chinese traditional and still have not been to reproduce this issue.

TR.PMJU: What language pack did you use? Also does this happen with a specific device? 

I haven't got any feedback from TR.PMJU. I will go ahead and close this one.

Testing the Move functionality to see if this issue could be moved to the "chromium" project.

Attempt 2: Testing the Move functionality to see if this issue could be moved to the "chromium" project.

Moved issue webrtc:117 to now be  issue chromium:666743 .
