APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR AUDIO CLONING AND REDIRECTION

摘要

In some embodiments, a computer system may include a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, and two or more different audio output devices associated with the computer system. In some embodiments, an audio driver capable of being loaded in the memory and executed by the processor may be configured to identify one or more audio sources associated with the computer system, identify two or more different audio endpoints associated with the two or more different audio output devices, and process an audio signal from one of the audio sources, the received audio signal having N different audio channels, where N is a positive integer greater than one. In some embodiments, the audio processor may generate X audio channels from the N different audio channels in the audio signal, where X is an integer less than N, generate Y audio channels from the N different audio channels in the audio signal, where Y is an integer less than N and wherein at least two of the X and Y audio channels are generated from different ones of the N different audio channels, direct the X audio channels to one of the two or more different audio endpoints, and direct the Y audio channels to a different one of the two or more different audio endpoints. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
