Hi everybody. Does anybody know how to capture sound from all programs currently running? I mean output sound. There are recorders that do that. I wonder how?

What you need is called an 'audio loopback'. Try searching for that on Google, you should be able to find a program you can download that does this.

It works by installing its own device driver, which you can select as the default audio output device - except it doesn't correspond to any real device, it just plays the audio back in through the audio input.

Hey, I'm interested in that as well.
How it works i do know, i mean the driver issue.

But i'm not into developing the driver thing to much, but i'd like to do similar stuff, I want to be able to manipulate the outgoing audio stream in my oen programm.

Are there driver out there, which i can use? Does not need to be open source, but with a possibilite to communicate or use the dll with c/c++.
I just want to get access to this audiostream and don't wanna write the driver myself.

Any hints would be nice.

Thank you

Ps: You talk about "virtual Audio loop driver". I can't find that on google(maybe I'm just blind). Can you give a link, please?
