Just a crappy little voice chat application I made. Uses WINAPI for multimedia capabilities. No compression or buffering, so the voice quality is really crappy. The Zip file contains a server and a client. To run, start the server, then start the client...heh...rocket science, huh? Gotta have two clients connected in order for it to work.

does it support more than 1 clients?

Technically, yes it does, but only one person can talk at a time, so it is much more usable as a two-way chat program. As I develop this more, I plan to add more features. Firstly, I want to incorporate some type of double buffering system to get rid of that annoying gap between the audio blocks. Were you able to get it working on your computer, bheesham?

Apparently i did get it to work. I connected to myself. Both clients kept saying:

(Toggle Plain Text)

data sent
data received

Then when i exited both clients there was an error with the server saying how something failed in the command prompt screen.

If it is the wrong IP it says:

(Toggle Plain Text)

Sound Error
Failed to connect

Since my microphone does not work i did not get to test it out.... But it probably does work.

Great job with this...

Thanks, the "data sent"/"data received" just tells the user that audio data is being transfered and received. I have improved some things since the last time I posted a download. The next version should have some sort of double buffering system worked out.

Would this be compatible with a Visual Basics 6.0 text based chatting program? Also... do you mind posting the source?

A text based chatting program? What do you mean by compatible? At the moment, i'm not going to post the source.

bheesham · Dec 25th, 2007, 8:41 AM

like... i mean... i can use the voice chat with the text one together.. so you only run 1 application and the voice app runs in the background or something....

You could start the voice chat program from inside your program if thats what you mean, but as far as integrating them, you would have to rewrite the voice app in VB. I believe I have a VB voice chat application somewhere, I'll have to dig.

Here is an updated version of my voice chatting application. Still no compression of buffering (it's in the works, though), but the voice quality is a little better and it uses UDP instead of TCP.
