    Another OT question

    Hi Everyone,

    I am trying to figure out how I can 'receive' audio from a microphone
    into an application. The audio needs to be 'streamed' and not actually
    recorded. The idea is to perform a type of analysis on the audio
    stream, and then record the results of the analysis.

    Does anyone know a way that I can achieve this through VBA without
    having to use dll's or ActiveX components. Is there a way to do this
    natively (so to speak)?

    Cheers

      Take a look at Windows Media Player 11.0 to see if it does what you want.

          No I'm afraid that it doesnt help there Steve. Windows media player
          isnt VBA code to start with, nor is it able to integrate VBA code into
          it. Using an ActiveX would violate the constraints of the original
          question - so no, thats not the way. Anyone else?

                  Take a look at WMP 11.0. I believe it has an object model and can be
                  programmed with VBA.

                      Not actually looking at 'tapping the lines'. I am working on a tool
                      for interviews that are conducted with our research teams in my
                      company. The idea is that basic recording of the interview is done via
                      a laptop with a webcam / microphone and the session is kept for a few
                      weeks for later analysis. It was asked if it was possible to take the
                      incoming audio stream (either live or from a recording) and then to
                      provide feedback. The preference is live as it would eliminate the
                      need to record the actual session itself. This saves a lot of time and
                      space and energy. The researcher can simply get on with the task at
                      hand.

                      It appears that the only way to get into this is to ignore Steve
                      comletely, and focus on the API's. Unfortunately there doesnt seem to
                      be a lot of information readily available to get started with VBA in
                      this area. I will just have to keep working on it:-)
