Sending audio from a microphone on the host to a virtual machine.

[GregHouse]

Hi.

I have an ARC Studio to be used as a DSP.
A DAC Topping D90 as audio output.
And a miniDSP UMIK-1 for audio input.

My computer uses Windows 7:

The DAC Topping D90 works normally.
The miniDSP UMIK-1 also works normally.
But the ARC Studio does not work on Windows 7.

I installed the Windows 10 in a VirtualBox virtual machine:

The DAC Topping D90 works normally.
The ARC Studio works normally.

But the UMIK-1 miniDSP did not work.
It appears in Device Manager: This device cannot start. (code 10)

My question:

Is it possible to send the microphone signal from the Windows 7 host to the Windows 10 virtualized?
Perhaps something like a virtual audio cable?

Thank you.

I managed to get it working.
The virtual machine's input is the host's default input.
The virtual machine's output is the host's default output.
The input and output must be enabled in the virtual machine configuration.

I couldn't use ARC X because it requires the input and output to be from the same device, like an audio interface.
In ARC 4 it's possible to choose the input and output of different devices, but I'm having this graphical interface problem, which doesn't happen in ARC X.

I tried to use the VoiceMeeter to create a virtual audio interface to use in ARC X.

Result with Voicemeeter:









I'm having trouble configuring Voicemeeter.
The UMIK-1 doesn't capture the sound emitted by the ARC X through the D90 via the speakers.

I managed to get it working.
I removed the A1 from the UMIK-1 and added the B1.

ARC is truly a very good system.
