Acquiring analog signal from PC mic

[lab_samurai]

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to acquire a signal (audio) from a laptop mic and display it in Labview? I know this can be done with a DAQ card but I was curious if I could bypass that and just use the mic in my laptop. 

Thanks.

If you open up a block diagram and select functions>>programming>>graphics and sound>>input there is some vi's you could try including an express vi.

Hope this helps

Thanks,GovBob.

Will try it and let you know if it works.

Here is a higher level example, for LabVIEW FDS:

Wow that is a nice scope. I will try and use it.

Also on more question; is it possible to set up Labview so that it can communicate with the USB port of the laptop?

I realize that this should be a separate post but any hints would be very useful.

Thanks again.
