title: Route audio output to input
---
To be able to visualize my laptop's sound output with a python script, I needed an extra audio input that made it possible to capture the system's audio output.
To achieve that, I did the following on my Raspberry Pi:
* install alsa-utils and pulseaudio
* get the pulseaudio init script [here](https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=619713#p619713)
* add the users to the group "pulse-access", I got `ALSA lib pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect` without it even as root
* [create an ALSA monitor source](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Examples#ALSA_monitor_source)
