How to check if a specific audio file is being played, in C++?

application

console

I don't have any strong enough knowledge to build this kind of app, console-based. As far as I have info about how to build this kind of console-based app, it requires Windows Audio Internal API, if i am not mistaken, it's WASAPI. But since I don't have that knowledge at all, please help me to do this kind of app

What I have tried:

I was trying to do it with some AI tools, like chatgpt 3 and google gemini(google bard). But I couldn't figure out how to do it, though it gives some code snippets to build that kind of console-based app.

Here's what it's generated for me:

#include <windows.h>
#include <mmsystem.h>
#include <iostream>

bool isAudioPlaying() {
  HWAVEOUT hWaveOut;
  MMTIME mmTime;

  // Open a non-existent wave output device to get system information
  if (waveOutOpen(&hWaveOut, WAVE_MAPPER, NULL, (DWORD_PTR) NULL, 0, CALLBACK_NULL)) {
    std::cerr << "Error opening wave output device." << std::endl;
    return false;
  }

  // Check playback position
  mmTime.wType = TIME_PLAY;
  if (waveOutGetPosition(hWaveOut, &mmTime, sizeof(mmTime))) {
    std::cerr << "Error getting playback position." << std::endl;
    waveOutClose(hWaveOut);
    return false;
  }

  // Close the non-existent device
  waveOutClose(hWaveOut);

  // Playback position > 0 indicates some audio is playing
  return (mmTime.wTime > 0);
}

int main() {
  if (isAudioPlaying()) {
    std::cout << "It does." << std::endl;
  } else {
    std::cout << "It doesn't." << std::endl;
  }

  return 0;
}

But it's not generating code for a specific audio file
