Audio Cable

About

Audio Cable turns your browser into a real-time virtual microphone mixer.

It creates Audio Cable Virtual Mic, a selectable microphone input that works inside web-based communication tools such as Google Meet, Zoom, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Whereby, and other apps that use your browser microphone.

Once selected, the virtual mic sends a live mix of your real microphone and any audio clips you choose to play. You can trigger sound effects, intros, transitions, background ambience, music clips, pre-recorded speech, lesson audio, or any other local audio file directly into your call — without installing desktop software, drivers, or a separate virtual audio cable app.

How it works

Audio Cable adds a virtual microphone option to websites that request microphone access. When a web app selects the virtual mic, Audio Cable provides a live mixed audio stream containing your selected physical microphone plus any audio assets currently playing.

From the web app’s perspective, it behaves like a normal microphone input.

Privacy

Audio Cable is designed to work locally.

Audio processing happens inside your browser
Uploaded audio files are stored locally in browser storage
No audio files are uploaded to external servers
No cloud account is required
Microphone permission is required so the extension can access and mix your selected microphone
Important note

Some apps, including video meeting platforms, may apply their own noise suppression or voice enhancement. These systems can sometimes reduce or filter music, effects, or other non-voice audio. For best results, disable noise suppression or background noise removal in the meeting app when you want non-voice sounds to pass through clearly.
