I got a problem with detecting sound card with Windows xp
I am working on an application to test microphone. First I need detect if there is a sound card installed (or integrated audio device). In a system without sound card (no full onboard audio support either), I use waveInGetNumDevs() to test if there is a sound card, it returns 1. And waveInGetDevCaps() returns no error. But it will fail when I test recording
Guess the system have some onboard Audio support, but not full support, no socket for mic and speaker. I expect the error message shows if it is sound card problem or mic problem
Later I testeb by calling mixerGetNumDevs(), which returns 0. I don't know if it is necessarily to call mixerGetNumDevs() to judge audio support or sound card available. In another (different) system without sound card, I used waveInGetNumDevs(), it returns 0. Which makes me confusin
Can you help me
Thank

FYI: The system device manager info (first one): Items listed under "Audio, Vido and game" catogary
"Legacy audio driver",
"Audio codecs
"Media Control devices"
