Hello Mudda,

Are you connecting a microphone to the sound card of your PC?  I assume that you want to use the built-in LabVIEW Sound VIs, and would like to write a LabVIEW DLL which returns the device numbers of the sound devices.

If you are using a Windows system, you will have to use some Windows API functions to get that information.

Microsoft (and their website) can help with the specific functions which enumerate the sound devices (with documents like this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/multimed/htm/_win32_devices_and_data_types.asp).  Your LabVIEW DLL will then be a wrapper for a Windows call.

I am happy to help out in any way I can.  Feel free to post again with a little more information on what exactly you wish to do, or with any other follow up questions.  Thanks for posting!

Regards,
