How to play voice recorded as byte format?

[whineygrace]

I used DirectSound to record voice from microphone and the variable is set up as:

 

Dim voiceBuffer() As Byte

 

 

 

As the voiceBuffer is in byte format, I cannot play the voice using DirectSound through speakers.

 

 

 

Does anyone know how to create a stream and use it to play the DirectSound buffer?

 

 

 

Thank you.
