What is SoundDesk Virtual Devices?
SoundDesk Virtual Devices is an audio software that offers virtual audio input and output devices on Windows systems. It works by installing virtual sound cards that applications can interface with just like physical audio devices.
Some key features of SoundDesk Virtual Devices include:
- Ability to route audio between applications without physical cable connections
- Adding effects like compression, limiting, EQ, etc. to audio streams
- Creating virtual mixers for blending multiple audio sources
- Streaming audio over networks by routing between multiple systems
- Audio capture and playback without dedicating physical audio interfaces
- Simulating hardware that may not be available for testing/development
The virtual devices show up in Windows alongside physical devices, so applications can connect to them for input and output without any code changes. This makes SoundDesk useful for audio routing, processing, playback, and more without needing additional hardware.
Typical uses cases include audio test and development, streaming radio stations, voice over IP (VoIP), network audio, and any application where flexible virtual audio devices are needed.
