Monitoring Wavein Volume Level

Hey, is there any way, especially using the win32 api, to monitor the wavein or micin volume levels?

I need to know the level of volume coming from the selected audio in source, but can only find information
relating to this subject with a program called VXVU made by someone named xFX Jumpstart. There program is of no help seeing how
1. It won't seem to run on my VB 5.0, and 2. The ocx and those files are not registered, and I believe it costs something like 700 bucks to get the real source.

There must be any easier way to find the level of volume coming in the record or wave in or mic in, whatever it is called, device.

I understand a lot of the win32 api, but don't see anything I think could work, so I'm stuck

Any help is greaty appreciated, especially source examples

Interresting question. I was about to ask that. How can you find AND change the value of the volume of wavein, or any of the other volumes that exist in the mixer? Anyone knows?
