Hi @Benjiiben53.

Unfortunately, it would be pretty difficult to port this to Windows.

The current Linux implementation relies on a module built into PulseAudio to create a virtual audio source. Doing something similar on Windows would require writing an audio driver and getting it signed by Microsoft.

I didn't find any free and open-source equivalents for Windows. The closest proprietary alternative I could find is WO Mic, but I have no idea whether it works as advertised. And because it is closed-source, I cannot guarantee it doesn't do anything malicious.

Best regards.

Tried via WSL, unsuccessful so far.

Of course, thanks anyway ;)

I found pgaskin/pulseaudio-win32, didn't try it yet though.
