Microphone?

[Tangerine]

Hello!

Can someone tell me how to make a function that returns the sound frequency
recorded by the microphone in the last moment?
I use Dev-C++ and I'm a total newbie if it's important.

ISO standard C does not specify anything about microphones. Please ask
in a newsgroup dedicated to your own implementation.

You mean the last trumpet has sounded? I didn't hear it :-)

No it isn't. Your question is confusing, and microphones and
their ilk are not part of the standard C language. Ask on a group
dealing with your system, after making you problem clear.

I'd make some comment about the Book of Revelation, but I always
thought it was K&R2 ;) If you didn't hear the last trumpet, God
must've written something like

void main(void)
{
printf( "Hello, world!\n" );
}

The Last Judgement is presumably a possible consequence of UB ;)

Goto news:comp.lang. matlab and ask your
question there. I'll answer your question
from there. But before you do, please think
a bit about what you mean by "last moment". Describe it. How many samples?

Once you actually work out how to make your implementation
record some audio into a PCM (pulse-code modulation) raw
audio data block, you will want to use some FFT (fast
fourier transforms) to get a signal strength reading for
each frequency, and pick the maximum point.

The implementation specific part should be topical on
comp.os.ms-windows.program mer.win32 or
comp.os.ms-windows.program mer.multimedia

Whereas the domain conversion is a mathematical issue,
could be topical on comp.programmin g or somewhere like
sci.math

I have just implemented a simple audio recording
program on Cygwin/GCC which should be a similar
environment to your Dev-C++, it was actually very
easy while reading the API documentation.

a call to a non-standard function):
