Audio Router

This project provides a terminal-based user interface (TUI) for routing audio between different audio interfaces using PyAudio .

It is particularly useful for setups involving virtual audio cables, where routing audio from one software/device to another is needed — for example, directing microphone input to a virtual device that your streaming or recording software listens to.

Features

• Interactive TUI for selecting input and output audio interfaces
• Real-time audio routing from input to output device
• Minimal setup

Primary Use Case

Originally built to route audio through a Virtual Audio Cable setup, such as:

• Sending mic input to a virtual device
• Monitoring virtual input/output channels
• Bridging physical and software-based audio endpoints

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7 or higher
• Terminal that supports basic text input

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the repository (if applicable):

   git clone https://github.com/Harsh-br0/audio-router.git
   cd audio-router

2. (Optional) Create a virtual environment:

    python -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate    # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

Note: If you encounter errors installing pyaudio, you may need to install system-level dependencies:

• On Debian/Ubuntu:

    sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev python3-pyaudio

• On macOS:

    brew install portaudio

Running the Application

Run the script from the project root:

   python route.py
