Capture audio of a single application on Windows 7

Question

Is there a way to capture the audio outputted by only a single application, and not the system as a whole? With WASAPI I can capture the entire system audio , but I wish to only capture the audio from one application (there will be many applications, all playing audio at once.)

Answer 1

Detours is used for hooking. Using the lib to hook IAudioRenderClient interface, including GetBuffer and ReleaseBuffer , and read data from the buffer.

Answer 2

Depending on the APIs used by the application to play the audio, you could write an AppInit DLL that will wrap the built-in waveIn\\waveOut functions and would pass along the audio data. I know this works with the waveIn\\waveOut functions, but not sure what other audio playback interfaces there are on Windows 7 and whether they are compatible with the AppInit trick.
