I need to make Delphi library / component that takes the currently playing sound ( it does not play my apps , just the general sound of what goes on loud-speakers ) returns me the data ( the amplitude of the left and right channels ) . Currently I have it processed by scanning from the microphone. He was looking for and I tried different VU meters that are on the net ( Torry ... ) , but they are not compatible with Win7 and higher. Anyone know of a solution? Thanks
dont know if i understood corectly, if you mean how to get peak meter for default playback device you may try this:
