If your digital program only uses Alsa devices or you don't want to use PulseAudio,
you can use the ALSA loopback device.
It works the same way as the Windows VAC. First create the loopback device with this command:
<br>
<br>
<pre>
sudo modprobe snd-aloop index=19
</pre>
<br>
<p>
The "index" is the card number, and it is best to use a number higher than your regular cards.
The loopback device will be gone on the next restart.
You can create the loopback device every time the system starts, but the way to do that depends on your version of Linux.
You could add this line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:
</p>
<br>
<pre>
options snd-aloop index=19
</pre>
<br>
<p>
Or you could add snd-aloop to /etc/modules or put the modprobe command in /etc/rc.local instead.
Restart Linux. Now you can enter "cat /proc/asound/cards" to
print out your sound cards, and you should see a "Loopback" card listed.
