If you want to use C#, you can use...

• ...WinSock for the network stuff...
  
• ... and DirectX for sound capturing etc.

There should be more/better libraries for sound input/output, but DX is the only one that comes to my mind.

I once designed a chat/server client and I found it best programmed in Java(could have been I was learning java at that time). But it was pretty straight forward and easy to implement with threads.

I would suggest if you are going to be working with audio/input to take a look at the sdl api, it tries and make it easy to setup things like that. You can find it at libsdl.org . I have not personally used it, but have a friend who talks highly off it as it allows for cross-platform(which is always nice).

SDL is great, but I don't know whether it's the best choice for C#/VB.

Well he said it could also be java, so I was just suggesting the SDL just in case he decided to do it in java.
