What is it?
AndroidMic streams microphone audio from an Android phone to a PC, so the phone can serve as an input device for apps such as Discord, Zoom, OBS, or Audacity. The PC app is written in Rust and runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS.
The PC side plays the incoming audio into a virtual audio cable device, such as VB Cable or Virtual Audio Cable on Windows, a PulseAudio or PipeWire null sink on Linux, or BlackHole on macOS. That virtual output is wired to a virtual input that other applications can select as a microphone. Users pick TCP or UDP over WiFi, USB Serial, or USB ADB as the transport.
The app offers noise cancellation, an audio waveform visualization, and adjustable sample rate, channel count, and bit depth on both ends. The project also ships an Android APK and is available through F-Droid and Nixpkgs.
