A system includes a computer having a device driver. The device driver includes a detection module to detect an audio input. The device driver includes a selection module to send the audio input to audio hardware after detection of the audio input. The device driver also includes an emulation module to send hardware emulation information to an operating system audio application to replace feedback data received at the device driver from the audio hardware and sent from the device driver to the operating system audio application.

Audio source system and method

A system and method for providing an audio source to an audio hardware device is disclosed. The system includes a detection module to detect a first audio input and a selection module to selectively provide the first audio input at an audio output to an audio device after the first audio input has been detected. The system also includes an emulation module to provide hardware emulation information corresponding to feedback data of the audio device after the first audio input has been detected.

A system and method for processing a digital audio signal is disclosed. The system includes an input to receive a digital audio signal and a first output to provide a first digital output signal. The digital audio signal has a first fidelity characteristic and the first digital output signal has a second fidelity characteristic. The second fidelity characteristic is determined in response to security information extracted from the digital audio signal. The first digital output signal is provided to a digital to analog converter.

Digital security system

A computer audio system and method is disclosed. The system includes an input to receive a digital audio input signal and a splitter to split the digital audio input signal into a plurality of digital audio signals. The system also includes a plurality of digital signal processing software modules corresponding to a detected number of hardware audio interfaces.
