Does anyone know of a good book about winmm.dll. I tried looking online and
going to the local book store but found nothing.

Thanks

Hi,

Try :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms713771(VS.85).aspx (Windows
Multimedia Start Page).

As this is quite specialized I'll doubt you'll easily find a book on this
subject alone (but a general Windows Programming Guide such as old Petzold
books could perhaps have a chapter about that but likely not with an in
depth cover).

IMO your best bet to use the SDK documentation mentioned above (or you may
want to tall us what you have in mind if you need something special rather
than to see the whole WinMM library)...

Thank You,
I've been trying to write an audio play / record / edit program. I can
record and play (I haven't gotten to the edit section yet) bud I'm having
difficulty with reading and line in levels in Vista. I found a sample
monitor app that I have working I think but All the apps I have found that
are supposed to control the mic or line in levels fail to work in vista (or
at least they fail on my machine). I use mcisend string to play and record
but that is not compatable with the 'waveIn' functions I use to monitor the
level but I can overcome that (just a pain in the xxx) but I have found
nothing about controlling line or mic levels.

Thanks
Mickey

I use the following library http://www.un4seen.com/ for my audio handling.
I don't know if it will do everything you want but there are lots of
plug-ins and has dot.net libraries and other DLL's .

Hope this helps

Perhaps with the mixer device ? I would try a multimedia or win32 group as
this is more related to API usage then VB...

Rather than re-inventing the wheel, have you tried this open source
software:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audacity

It can handle multiple formats, like Wave and MP3.

Audacity crashes so often that I decided to re-invent the wheel and
customize it for my needs and learning skills :-}

Thanks
Mickey

See if changing the compatibility mode helps. This is in the shortcut
properties.

Another option is to try the latest beta. I have had no problems running it
on XP.
