Thanks for yoyr comments. I have 2 of Charles Petzold's book but not the one
you reference. Did your book have a CD with the the samples?
I did find something about the wave/in & wave/out functions in the help
files. They are Win32 SDK functions. I don't know if I have them installed on
this machine. I do also hve VC++ Ver3. I can look in that one.
It looks to me that Dsound only allows you to write to the sound card. But
there may be a hidden function (ReadBuffer) that works with it. But it is not
defined in the Dsound.h file.
Did your VC++ Ver6 include the Win32 SDK?

Hi Bob ... I use VC++ Ver 6 and program Win32 (no MFC) ... the book
"Programming Windows Fifth Edition" by Charles Petzold taught me to
program the sound card. It is at a more basic level than DSOUND and I
think more functional, using the wavein waveout ect and the Win32 API
... the book came out about the time VC++5 and VC++6 was in use and it
uses VC++6 ... It is still available (New) as I was in a Borders
bookstore about one month ago and a new copy was on the shelves ... so
it can be ordered ... My copy is very used and tattered and full of hand
written notes and you would have to pry it from my cold dead fingers to
get it (along with VC++6) ...the Microsoft Multimedia SDK would be
nice also ... I have one that came with Vc++2 and is useful but not up
to date ...
