Outputting audio stream into microphone

Hey everyone. Is there a way of outputting audio from my program and redirecting that stream to the system's microphone input 'layer'? I understand this might require some low-level calls being 'Pinvoked', but are there any articles that might help me. For example, if I was to run the output audio stream of my application into Window's Sound Recorder program, it would think that the audio is coming from a microphone and thus record that. I don't want to record a stream, just output it to the device's micrphone input. Thanks for any ideas.

I used VB-CABLE (which works as an audio device driver, not external software) to do exactly what you want.

https://www.vb-audio.com/Cable/index.htm

One single input/output device for free and 2 additional devices can be added with a donation.

If your application can access VST's, then you can use wormhole2, which is open source and works for Mac and PC. It can send and receive Audio in a VST compatible host. http://code.google.com/p/wormhole2/

If not, at least on mac, there is Soundflower from cycling74 which installs a framework for audio ins and outs which are available in the whole system. cycling74.com/soundflower-landing-page/

As an equivalent on PC, there is: http://jackaudio.org/ which basically does the same as Soundflower.

I used Virtual Audio Cable just for such purpose!

It sounds like you are looking for a virtual audio driver. You can purchase software from Softonic that already does this. If you need to build it yourself, then you can manage this using DirectSound (part of the DirectX library) from Microsoft.

Consider looking into Pure Data (PC) or Max MSP (Mac) for this type of issue.
