For starters, the fact that RealTek is so easily reprogrammable to turn audio output into input is very unlikely just a "bug". It's a feature left their on purpose.
- Senji 10y agoIt's a selling point. You plug anything at the back then change the jack's purpose in the control panel gui for the audio card.
- mojuba 10y agoPossibly, but why isn't the feature exposed to end users then?
- infogulch 10y agoIt is. I've seen it on multiple computers.
- lima 10y agoYep. I remember that feature from the Windows NT days.
- anigbrowl 10y agoAs a sound engineer, I can assure you that this feature has been around for ages.
- mojuba 10y agoWell then what the article describes is not even a "hack"...

- mlonkibjuyhv 10y agoWait, I thought that was the median hackaday comment?
