What options are there to get audio input?

[SpriggsySpriggs]

You can get sound input from the MCI API in Win32. Here's some old code I made a long time ago when I was maintaining the "Spriggsy's API Collection" repo.

Code: (Select All)

OPTION _EXPLICIT



_TITLE "mciSendString Record Test"



StartRecording

DIM x

DIM y



x = TIMER(0.01)

DO

    y = TIMER(0.01)

    CLS

    PRINT "Recording...Press any key to stop"

    PRINT y - x

    _DISPLAY

LOOP UNTIL INKEY$ <> ""



StopRecording

SaveRecording ("test.wav")

PlayRecording ("test.wav")



'_TITLE "Waveform Display"

'SCREEN GetWaveform("test.wav", "640x480")





DECLARE DYNAMIC LIBRARY "WINMM"

    FUNCTION mciSendStringA% (lpstrCommand AS STRING, lpstrReturnString AS STRING, BYVAL uReturnLength AS _UNSIGNED LONG, BYVAL hwndCallback AS LONG)

    FUNCTION mciGetErrorStringA% (BYVAL dwError AS LONG, lpstrBuffer AS STRING, BYVAL uLength AS _UNSIGNED LONG)

END DECLARE



SUB StartRecording

    DIM a AS LONG

    a = mciSendStringA("open new type waveaudio alias capture" + CHR$(0), "", 0, 0)

    IF a THEN

        DIM x AS INTEGER

        DIM MCIError AS STRING

        MCIError = SPACE$(255)

        x = mciGetErrorStringA(a, MCIError, LEN(MCIError))

        PRINT MCIError

        END

    ELSE

        a = mciSendStringA("set capture time format ms bitspersample 16 channels 2 samplespersec 48000 bytespersec 192000 alignment 4" + CHR$(0), "", 0, 0)

        a = mciSendStringA("record capture" + CHR$(0), "", 0, 0)

    END IF

END SUB



SUB StopRecording

    DIM a AS LONG

    a = mciSendStringA("stop capture" + CHR$(0), "", 0, 0)

END SUB



SUB SaveRecording (file AS STRING)

    DIM a AS LONG

    a = mciSendStringA("save capture " + CHR$(34) + file + CHR$(34) + CHR$(0), "", 0, 0)

    a = mciSendStringA("close capture" + CHR$(0), "", 0, 0)

END SUB



SUB PlayRecording (file AS STRING)

    DIM a AS LONG

    a = mciSendStringA("play " + CHR$(34) + file + CHR$(34) + CHR$(0), "", 0, 0)

END SUB
