I guess what i really want to know is how do i read and manipulate individual samples. &nbsp;Is there some code somewhere i can use to do this?<br />

audio is generally stored as byte arrays since these are the easiest to compress, manipulate, and store. &nbsp;The exact encoding and decoding between recording and listening I don't know, the applications decipher the byte arrays. &nbsp;You might be able to access it using Resedit or something liek that, but watch out cause you could screw something up royally with resedit. &nbsp;good luck, hope this helps<br />

I am using SPBRecord to create my own voice-activated recorder. &nbsp;In order to do this i need to find some way to access the meter level (ie the volume level of the data - an integer from 0 to 255) from the raw data recorded into the buffer ( i think is sample points in the form integer -128 to 127). &nbsp;How exactly is the sample data stored and how can i retrieve the volume level from this data?

How is raw sound data stored?

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
