audio Audio In location?

[NezBoppin]

Hello,

 

So I want to run a 3.5mm cord from an Amazon echo dot to my PC. My idea is to be able to voice command the dot and then be able to hear Alexa's response or music played from the dot through my speakers (headphones, etc.)

 

Thing is, if I plug this into the blue 3.5mm jack of my onboard audio, where will the sound output? 

 

I use Voicemeeter Banana with some virtual cables to separate audio for streaming purposes (separate audio levels for me vs. broadcast, and outputting audio through my mic on discord etc.) But before I go buying an echo dot, I'd like to know just where this input will go in my PC. If possible I'd like to get it in on one of my virtual cables. 

 

Any help greatly appreciated!

There's an option for all input devices in the Sound properties where you can listen to it:

You could try the WIFI mode . Not sure if this would work

The stereo input (blue jack) will show in Voicemeeter Banana just like any other input, you can then direct it as you please.

Hey so it comes through with terrible audio quality. I'll try some different cables but is this to be expected? If so, would a USB to 3.5mm jack work better?

Try plugging your phone into it and playing some music or something.

Still terrible?

You could also try capturing the audio as opposed to monitoring it in something free like audacity just to see what it sounds like.
