    no...not a voltmeter....a vu meter. The meter that shows the intensity of the speaker volume with LEDs.

    That's true. They're the same only a VU metre is mostly used (or mistaken wuh'evah ;) ) for when you want to see sound activity or hdd activity shown with LEDs flashing. I'm quite a big fan of those but dont have the knowledge/materials to build one either.

    To be fair, a vu-meter is scaled in decibels, which is a bit more log-ish than the usual linear voltmeter scaling. A LM3915 circuit will sort you out, check the datasheet or google on "LM3915 vumeter" (and vu-meter)
