                        Use your Android phone as a mic to Windows PC
Android Microphone
Use your Android phone as a microphone to Windows PC
Requirements
- Android phone with bluetooth/wifi
- Windows PC with bluetooth/wifi
- Installed Virtual Audio Cable (VAC) on Windows, will hear "trial" voice if your driver is in trial mode
 Also try using VB-Audio as alternative now since it is completely free
How to use
Config Audio Device
- Run Windows side app
- Select audio speaker from drop down list to the one that VB created
  
- Use the corresponding microphone created by VB
  
- In Propertiesof both, make sure both set default format to following:
  
- For speaker, click Configure Speakersand set channel toMono:
  
- For microphone, click Propertiesand set following:
  
On my machine, this setup has the lowest delay and best sound quality.
Can further improve audio latency by opening VBCABLE_ControlPanel.exe (from downloaded folder of VB) and set Max Latency in Options to 2048 smp:

Do not set to 512 smp since that will cause most buffers lost. If 2048 has no sound or bad quality, consider a higher smp.
Volume Control
- Run Windows side app
- Drag slider to control volume
Connection: Bluetooth
- Make sure PC and phone are paired once
- Check Bluetoothbutton on Windows app
- Click Connecton Windows app to start server
- Click Connecton Android app to connect
- Tap Record Audioon Android app to start transferring audio
Connection: Wifi / LAN
- Make sure PC and phone are under the same network
- Can be under the same router with Wifi
- Can have PC connected to ethernet of the same router
- Can have PC connected to phone by cable and enable USB tethering on phone
 
- Click Connecton Windows app to start server
- Click Connecton Android app to connect
- Enter IPandPort(displayed on Windows side) on Android app
- Tap Record Audioon Android app to start transferring audio
Advanced Filters
- Run Windows side app
- Connect phone to app
- Click Advanced Effectsto open advanced settings window
- Expand a filter and check enabledto test effects
Pitch Shifter:
- Slider controls pitch shift factor
White Noise:
- Slider controls the noise strength
Repeat Track:
- Check Repeatto enable looped audio track
- Slider controls audio track volume strength
- Select Fileto select an audio file to play
SpeexDSP Filters:
- Check corresponding filters to enable/disable
- If Echo Cancellation does not work (your friend hears echo from your speaker)
 Try re-enable echo cancellation to restart cancellation state
 Echo Cancellation may take a while (5-10s) to optimize
Rnnoise Filter:
- Check "Noise Cancellation" and try
