Do you mean a progress bar or a display of the sound volume/intensity?
AFAIK you can't with playsound. Need finer control or more info from the OS. From Winmm.lib and Mmsystem.h.
Look at using WM_WOM_ messages and a timer for a progressbar.
waveOutPrepareHeader()
waveOutWrite()
SetTimer()
waveOutUnprepareHeader()
waveOutClose()
waveOutGetPosition()
will help.

a few years ago i used the fmod libraries to play music. It was free then as long as you are not going to profit from it.
FMod MP3 Libraries
I was able to play mp3's or wavs but you have to pay if you intend to profit.

winamp has a SDK on there site,
it might have something in it to help you
with your visualization.
