Determine when a loud sound is played in C#

Question

I want to determine if another program plays a sound above a certain threshold. I am not looking for checking the volume settings on the computer or anything like that. I really just need to see if any app plays something higher then what I am expecting. Anyone know if this is possible or how to do it?

Answer 1

Check out this project on codeproject. It's a volume meter using managed DirectX and written entirely in C#.
