Play PC sounds via a Google Voice call?

What I want to do is call someone from my Google Voice account via the Gmail interface and have them be able to hear the sounds being played on my PC, not just what is coming over the microphone input.


Is this possible?

    I recall back in the days of old downloading some software so my little brother could play obnoxious sound clips over his mic when he was steam rolling people in Counter Strike.
    I imagine its very possible, but you'd probably have to find someone willing to whip up some code.

    Though I guess that depends how open Googles software is, I've never used any of their programs really.

    You would have to change the input stream from your mic to your speakers. Since google voice doesn't allow you to change what device it listens to in their program you would need to get a program to do it. However I cannot think of a reason you would need to do this other than using a sound board to make prank calls and all I have to say to that is grow up.

    You need to expand your imagination more. I used it to transfer a voice mail message from someone with a good voice to be my voice mail greeting.

    I ended up using something called Virtual Audio Cable to do it, took a bit of fiddling but allowed me to pipe anything coming from one output into the input of the Google Voice call.

    I also could have I think just run a wire from the output jack to the input mic jack but I don't have a cable that would work.
