I assume that you're also doing some DC blocking and signal attenuation, because simply connecting a sound card line out to a microphone input is just not compatible. Of course a decent USB outboard audio interface can have a line in and line out. Going all analogue, and pointing a microphone at a laptop's speaker, one in each laptop directions, could be a nice visual demonstration of wireless transmission. And demonstrate interference handling, too. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1127.13.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 23 15:46:38 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
