how do i obtain any sound that is generated from the microphone or line-in ports? i kinda wanna try a .wav recorder and dont know how to record from these two ports? thanx

Use the mciSendString function.

VB Code:

Private Declare Function mciSendString Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "mciSendStringA" (ByVal lpstrCommand As String, ByVal lpstrReturnString As Any, ByVal uReturnLength As Long, ByVal hwndCallback As Long) As Long
                                       
Private Sub cmdRecord_Click()
 
    mciSendString "open new type waveaudio Alias record", 0&, 0, 0
    mciSendString "record record", 0&, 0, 0
    
End Sub
 
Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
 
    mciSendString "stop record", 0&, 0, 0
    mciSendString "save record C:\Windows\Desktop\MyWav.wav", 0&, 0, 0
    mciSendString "close record", 0&, 0, 0
                                       
End Sub
