Installing a fake microphone on Windows Server.
- by Adrian
My application, that is running on Windows Server (which is an instance on Amazon EC2) requires Skype to be able to make phone calls. The server, of course, does not have a microphone installed and I don't need it to have one, because my application changes the input source to a wav file when the call is established. However, Skype has a strict rule that a microphone must be installed for a call to be made.
Thus I want to install a fake microphone that will trick Skype's configuration.
So far, I was able to start and run the Windows Sound service, which enabled all of the sound settings.
Any ideas are very welcome!
