XNA - Reading Directly from Speaker Output on Windows

I was wondering if it is possible to read speaker output from XNA. For instance, if the user plays a song via Spotify or Youtube, the application can read the output stream and get the spectrum data. My platform is Windows.

Thanks,

Kevin

Unfortunately, these days it depends on the sound card/driver. If the "stereo mix" pin (as it is typically, but not always, named) is available for recording from, then yes. If not, no.

The only way around that is to use a loopback sound driver.
