I'd like to build a simple VU-meter in VB...the problem is that it's tons of
different undocumented types used in several API's. and I just don't know
where to start. Can anyone please give me some hints where to start?

problem is that it's tons of
API's. and I just don't know

You can find info about the WIN32 winmm.dll API at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/sdkdoc/multimed/
mixer_65ut.htm

This should help you out but the Win32
multimedia  API is very convoluted and difficult
to program. It took me over a month to figure it
out.

If you get frustrated and want a fast/reliable
solution, I have a few ready-made VU-Meter
OCX's that you can get for less than $20 if you
really get stuck. They are needle, bar and LED
types that you can just plug into your VB
programs.

info.
