I was wondering if there is an easy way to analyse sound that is sent to the speakers (just before it's played). For example when playing a song in winamp or windows media player. Or is it easier to write plugins for those programs to form an interface with your own program?
View 2 RepliesI need to adjust the volume of this audio clip to make it blend with other system sounds (also played from My.Resources). I've tried looking this up in the help screens and found nothing. Is it possible to do?
.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.POWER_TEST_COMPLETE, AudioPlayMode.Background)
I have seen similar questions which attempt to solve this issue, but none seem to work for me so far.Basically, for my first VB project, I am creating a virtual keyboard where a sound is played from the resources on KeyDown. So far, the program seems to work except for the fact that each key needs to be clicked by the mouse before the sound is played by pressing each key (hence put the object in focus), where I need the key to play the sound without clicking the keyboard key (put the object in focus on KeyDown).Below is an example of my code:

I was just thinking if there is any component which monitors sound output. My intention is to recognize a particular sound coming out from my soundcard. I know its an issue about the driver of my sound card but is there a way I can get atleast noise level coming out of my speakers and maybe draw a graph and detect the peak at when the sound is played?

View 1 RepliesI'm creating an application that will have 3 streams of audio. I can get 2 streams playing easy enough using DirectX AudioVideoPlayback and setting the balance for each Audio Instance. However, I need a 3rd Audio instance to play out of another output such as the Rear or Centre. An alternative would be to be able to select a different sound device in the machine to play the 3rd audio stream.

I need to get the decibel level of sound being sent to the sound card (not the actual sound level the speakers are instructed to emit via volume level)There is next to no information i can find on the net to even access sound data. Could anyone point me in a direction for this? The OS will be vista/7.

I've tried a few alternative libs such as DirectShow.Net, DirectSound, BASS.Net, QuickTime and OpenTK.Some of them do what I need to do, but they are either too difficult to use and therefore impractical or they are missing some other essential features such as Events which are required to make the rest of the application work. Would anyone oppose to me posting this same thread on other forums?I will of course post a solution if one is found elsewhere without advertising external websites.
View 4 RepliesAnyone played with LinearGradientBrush? I'm using it to plot some chunky text with a gradient fill on a picturebox . Say I want the text to be full yellow at the top (255,255,0) and full red at the bottom (255,0,0). What I get is a light orange shade at the top of the letters and a dark orange at the bottom. I never get the full range of shades. I would prefer to have say 10% at the top of each letter plotted with the full starting colour, then the gradient, followed by the bottom 10% plotted with the ending colour. I hope that makes sense. Obviously I'm using MeasureString to get the height of the text and I've played with making that value larger and smaller but it didn't seem to help.I have seen references to SetBlend Triangular Shape and WrapMode which look interesting, but no examples of how these would produce the effect I'm looking for.
View 7 RepliesI am trying to build a small program which will allow some one to click on the exit button and the sound will play and at the end of the sound the program will then close. The sound clip is about 3 seconds long Here is what I have:

Public Class Form1
Private Dsound As CSoundDevice

Is there a way to generate a pure tone (e.g. 440 Hz) for a specified period of time through the sound card without using having to find or make a separate .wav file for each tone.I tried using the "Beep" function, but while it produces the tone for a specified period, it sounds broken up into a (probably 500ms) time frame which repeats with an audible space between the repetitions.

View 1 Repliesi make a simple winform application with AxWindowsMediaPlayer and timer.
My objective is about to make the application play the clip with interval (that's why i use timer)
When AxWindowsMediaPlayer finish playing the first clip, everything's okay. But when it begin playing the next clip. It CAN'T HAVE FULLSCREEN MODE. I have to double click the control manually to have it fullscreen. I use vb 2005 in 7 ultimate.
Here is my code

I know how to use TOP clause, but there is a problem when I want to sort results in descending order by "PlayCount" .here is the sql query:
SELECT TOP 100 * FROM Database ORDER BY PlayCount DESC this query returns 120 results. If I use "TOP 200" it will return 278 results. But everything works fine if I use ORDER BY Filename.

Label5.Text = (Int(Rnd() * 6)) Generate the first tone.

I want to make a program that detects the note that is being played in front of the microphone. I am testing the FFT function of Naudio, but with the tests that I did in audacity it seems that FFT does not detect the pitch correctly. I played an C5, but the highest pick was at E7.I changed the first dropdown box in the frequency analysis window to "enchanced autocorrelation" and after that the highest pick was at C5.
