Forward Console .Beep

Question

How can I capture / redirect the sound created by, say:

Console.Beep(400, 1000); 

Either in some byte buffer, or directly in the wav file will be fine.

I searched, but found ways to redirect text output, not sounds.

Answer 1

You cannot redirect the sound.

Console.Beep() is implemented by calling the Windows API Beep() function , which calls the sound card hardware, if possible.

You have several options:

• You can use DirectShow Audio Capture as described here .
• You can use the audio capture program described here .
• You can write a program to create a wav file, as described here .

I think the last one is the best choice.
