SOC_SUBSYSTEM_FAILURE (14b)
A SOC subsystem has experienced an unrecoverable critical fault.
Arguments:
Arg1: 9aa8d630, nt!SOC_SUBSYSTEM_FAILURE_DETAILS
Arg2: 00000000, Reserved
Arg3: 00000000, Reserved
Arg4: a126c000, (Optional) address to vendor supplied general purpose data block.

Use the provided nt!SOC_SUBSYSTEM_FAILURE_DETAILS structure to dump the failure data using the dt command and the address provided by Arg1.

2: kd> dt nt!SOC_SUBSYSTEM_FAILURE_DETAILS 9aa8d630
   +0x000 SubsysType       : 1 ( SOC_SUBSYS_AUDIO_DSP )
   +0x008 FirmwareVersion  : 0
   +0x010 HardwareVersion  : 0
   +0x018 UnifiedFailureRegionSize : 0x24
   +0x01c UnifiedFailureRegion : [1]  "F"

Work with SoC vendor to further parse the data, including the optional vendor supplied general purpose data block.

You may want to examine the stack trace using the k, kb, kc, kd, kp, kP, kv (Display Stack Backtrace) command. You can specify the processor number to examine the stacks on all processors.

You can also set a breakpoint in the code leading up to this stop code and attempt to single step forward into the faulting code.
