waveInStop

[Barnab]

I am working on an application which records sentences. If I press the record button and speak something that gets recorded and stored as a .wav file.The problem I am facing is when I press the 'stop recording' button it take a couple of minutes to stop the recording. The application hangs for those couple of minutes. I debugged the application and found out that windows API waveInStop() is taking a lot of time to return and hence, causing the delay. This problem occurs only in Windows 2000. On NT machines it works fine. I have no idea why this API is taking such a long time.
Any help would be appreciated.

I had the same problem using some MCI apis within win2000. I ended up downloading an ocx to use. Good Luck
