I got a problem with detecting sound card with Windows x
I use SDK function waveInGetNumDev s() to test if there is a sound card. But even if there is no sound card installed, the function still returns 1. And even waveInGetDevCap s() returns no error. I checked device->hardware, and there are some items under "Audio, Vido and game" catogary, they includes
"Legacy audio driver",
"Audio codecs
"Media Control devices
Guess there are some onboard Audio support, but no sound card installed
SO how can I detect if there is a sound card installed or not? Can anyone help me
Thank

Your post is off-topic here. You should post again in
microsoft.publi c.win32.program mer.mmedia
And even waveInGetDevCap s() returns no error. I checked
device->hardware, and there are some items under "Audio,
Vido and game" catogary, they includes :
"Legacy audio driver",
"Audio codecs"
"Media Control devices"
Guess there are some onboard Audio support, but no sound
card installed.
It doesn't matter if the sound support is on the system board or a card. If
the driver finds suitable hardware and initializes it so that there is a
device available to be used then the function counts it.

Will

You are welcome.
As I said, you are in the wrong group.
I just tested using another function: mixerGetNumDevs . This function
returns to zero.
Now my problem becomes: Should sound card/ device
(or onboard audio support capability ) necessarily detected
by calling mixerGetNumDevs () or waveInGetNumDev s
No of course not, mixers and waveform devices are different.
The problem here is one of expectation. waveInGetNumDev s() returns the
number of waveform devices on a system. In fact, one of them could be the
one that handles recording from a voice modem. It doesn't tell you what you
want to know.
Most multimedia applications use that function to present a list of devices
to the user and let him choose the one he wants.
PLEASE post follow-up in the multimedia group.
Regards,
Will
Oops, didn't find the post is already move to multimedia group --and I just made a duplicate on
So, waveInDevice is not enough to make microphone work. Is a mixer device the only prerequisite device to make mic work? I mean by calling mixerGetNumDevs () and it returns number larger than 0, (maybe do some capability test) then I can proceed to test microphohe? If not what else?

Are there any good C++ libraries that let me input bytes from a sound

I need to be able to make distinctions between sounds input from a
radio connected to the sound card thru the line in, probably using the
sine wave formula of the input.

My boss asked me to use sound card to do analog to digital conversion

anolog signal to digital file. I have no idea where should I start? Do I

hi guys:
i am rather new to C++.
By using beep(hz, duration), I figured out a way to drive computer speaker. However, my project requires me to create sound from the sound card. Do you happen to know how this works?
or is there a command like that?
I was going to generate it from wave file. However, it is just too cumbershome..
thanks for the help

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
