[VB6] Loudness of the microphone input signal.

[cavemen]

I am trying to create a program that would register it in a variable,
when loudness of the microphone input signal exceeds some level for some amount of time.

IS there a VB6 command that can allow me to measure the loudness of the input sound signal?

Not on the sound card input. I have a USB microphone.

Look at the WaveIn API

I don't know what WaveIn API is and how to use it.

Every foreign function in VB has to be declared in it's own bizarre way.
The only way to make program work is to copy-and-paste that function with it's unique declaration.

Thanks.

Thanks.

All the proposed code doesn't work in VB6.

Visual Basic 6 does not use any of the commands, proposed in this code.
It doesn't require memory allocation.

This is why microsoft doesn't support it anymore. It was simple and anybody could program it.

I use it to solve complex mathematical problems.
