Audio Recording and playback VC++

Question

Hi folks I am planning on recording audio, and later play it back, for on of my projects. The requirement is that it should be c++ ( Visual studio 2008 ) compatible. Rest of our application is mostly in silverlight/ VC++. I have worked with NAudio before in C#, but nothing on vc++.

I would like to know what is best suited for my needs :

1. VC++ (Visual studio 2008) 32 bit compatible.
2. Only need to record/playback. No fancy functionalities needed.
3. Only 32 bit windows 7/vista targeted. Multi-platform functionality is unnecessary.
4. Need a quickfix code. Doesn't matter if things are slow, requires extra computation power, etc. As long as it doesn't crash, and does what it should properly, I am good.
5. is free ( at least for research).

Can you suggest something that would be best for me ? Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Probably the easiest way is using MCI. Basically, you can use mciSendCommand (or mciSendString) to send an MCI_RECORD command to do recording, or an MCI_PLAY to do playback.
