Go for it!!

I never won any game I played against my wife. She's obviously far more logical than I am (and she's watching me write this too)! Sorry, going off topic.

Re: audio level detection

Hi Soorya

I'll check it. What you describe sounds very like the vu meter is working OK though, particularly the 20% bit. You can get rid of this by changing the code in the sub LevelMeters() to...

Hi Hardkraft

Umm, I guess it will do this...:-(

Timer may be fine as you're not interested in precision timing, only killing time until the buffer's full. Let me know how you get on!
