About Audio Source

Audio Source forwards microphone audio from an Android phone to a Linux computer, allowing the phone to act as a USB microphone. It sends the audio through ADB to the computer’s PulseAudio daemon. The phone supplies the microphone input, while the computer receives it through its audio system for use by other applications. The setup requires an Android device running at least version 4.0, although the app is described as fully tested only on Android 10. The computer must run GNU/Linux and have Android platform tools, PulseAudio or compatible PipeWire support, and Python 3. The required command-line utilities must be available to the setup. Audio Source is useful when a computer needs microphone input and an Android device is available, but no separate USB microphone is being used. Its operation depends on a working ADB connection and compatible audio software on the Linux side. The app is a bridge for live microphone input rather than a general audio recorder or editing tool. The supplied description does not specify recording, monitoring, or audio-quality controls.
