Windows Audio Recording

This module provides Windows-specific audio recording functionality using the Windows Audio Session API (WASAPI).

Features

• Microphone Activity Detection: Monitor when applications are using the microphone
• Process Identification: Identify which process is using the microphone
• Real-time Notifications: Get callbacks when microphone usage starts/stops

Usage

MicrophoneListener

The MicrophoneListener class provides real-time monitoring of microphone usage:

import { MicrophoneListener } from '@affine/native';

const listener = new MicrophoneListener((isRunning: boolean, processName: string) => {
  console.log(`Microphone ${isRunning ? 'started' : 'stopped'} by ${processName}`);
});

// Check current status
console.log('Is microphone currently active:', listener.is_running());

Callback Parameters

The callback receives two parameters:

• isRunning: boolean - Whether the microphone is currently active
• processName: string - Name of the process using the microphone

Implementation Details

Audio Session Monitoring

The implementation uses Windows Audio Session API to:

1. Enumerate Audio Sessions: Get all active audio sessions
2. Monitor Session State: Track when sessions become active/inactive
3. Process Identification: Map audio sessions to process names
4. Event Handling: Provide real-time notifications

COM Initialization

The module automatically initializes COM (Component Object Model) with COINIT_MULTITHREADED for proper Windows API interaction.

Error Handling

All Windows API errors are wrapped in WindowsAudioError enum and converted to NAPI errors for JavaScript consumption.

Cross-Platform Compatibility

This Windows implementation maintains API compatibility with the macOS version, providing the same JavaScript interface while using Windows-specific APIs underneath.

Platform Requirements

• Windows 10 or later
• Microphone access permissions
• Audio devices available

Dependencies

• windows crate v0.61 with Audio and Process features
• windows-core crate v0.61
• napi and napi-derive for JavaScript bindings

Technical Notes

Thread Safety

The implementation uses thread-safe callbacks to JavaScript with ThreadsafeFunction<(bool, String), ()> to ensure proper communication between the Windows audio session monitoring thread and the JavaScript runtime.

Process Name Resolution

Process names are resolved using Windows APIs:

• GetModuleFileNameExW for full executable path
• GetProcessImageFileNameW as fallback
• Automatic extraction of filename from full path

Session Filtering

The implementation automatically filters out system audio sessions (like AudioSrv) to focus on user applications.
