Hi, MSCOMM 6.0 question

[BBN1]

Hi everyone!
Sry if this is the wrong forum, or this question has been answered multiple times before (please link me if so)

I have got a mic today and plugged it into the back of my PC, but what I want to know is, how can i recv data from it with MSCOM control, or if MSCOMM unique to USB devices?
In other words, is it possible to capture data from the mouse/keyboard/mic?
If so, how would i go about doing this?

Also on another note, (not so important, just curius) can i send sound wave/binary to the computer speakers with MSCOMM 6.0 control?

I need a reply asap (Im ADHD, lol) so i dont lose interest
Thank you in advance guys and gals!

edit:
nm, i have been reading up on mic/line in streams all day, and this post helped me understand it alot:

Useing the sample code from there, I understand how to use directX sound to read the mic stream, but i am still unsure of some things, so i will make new post in the dx forum later or tomorow.
Now i have the binary from the mic, the fun begins of trying to understand it/parse it/detect voice patterns
love you all
