How to detect a song is being played using C#

[Vinay]

Hi,
I want to verify if a particular song is being played
from my program. I have read a lot of examples of using
winmm.dll and importing PlaySound(). If there anyway to
check if a song is being played using sound card?

TIA,
Vinay

Vinay,

I don't think that this is possible. You can probably interface with
the sound card to see if some sort of sound is playing, but what it is,
well, that depends on a number of factors. You would have to find the
program producing the sound and then hope there is an interface telling you
^what^ exactly is playing.

You might be able to get somewhere using the DirectX libraries, but I
wouldn't bet on it.

Hope this helps.
