Detect Audio Output

[Zinefer]

Basically, I want to mute winamp if someone talks on Ventrilo. I have been messing around with the list view and it seems that there is no way to be able to tell if someone is talking via the systreeview32.

I was thinking if there was some way to tell if Ventrilo was outputting sound at all then that would work as well. Does anyone know if this is possible or have another suggestion?

Thanks so much.

I'm not giving up on this.

Anyone?

i did this with a free oscilloscope program which reads output frequencies of the soundcard. If the frequency was at a particular level then my program would start recording. I cant remember the name of the program but you can google it.

One other thought...if the active window on ventrilo changes in any way when someone is speaking (for instance a color change or a graphic indicator) then you could use autoit to detect that change (via a change in color at a specific pixel locationl. You would just loop until the pixel color change then go to a func subroutine to mute winamp. quite simple actually. The reverse to turn it back on
