5l1v3r1 / audio_loopback

A Windows/Linux package for real-time sound processing from playback devices. (Needs VB-Audio/Pulse)

Audio Speaker FFT

Documentation: http://ignis.wtf/audio_loopback/

Dependecies

Along with pyaudio, this project is supposed to work together with VB-Audio's Cable on Windows. Supports Linux with pulse too.

Usage

This is meant to be integrated to other software, but you can run the module directly.

usage: audio_loopback.py [-h] [-v] [-c COUNT] [-r REDUCTION] [-k CONSTANT]

Audio loopback capture, FFT

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --verbose         Set verbosity level
  -c COUNT, --count COUNT
                        Count to reduce the array size to
  -r REDUCTION, --reduction REDUCTION
                        Reduction coefficient
  -k CONSTANT, --constant CONSTANT
                        Constant to multiply output with

How to set up on windows
