First time working with audio in python, found many examples where you can listen/stream microphone, but with a lot of googling, can't find how can I listen just my computers output audio.

The idea is to listen audio stream for comparing the sounds to wav. files, so if a specific sound is heard by the program, it prints it out. For easy example: facebook message arrives, the program compares the sound to wave file and prints "Facebook message audio heard".

    What you are trying to do is not so easy, if the sounds it is meant to recognize are predefined you could try fingerprinting the sound samples. More information here : http://willdrevo.com/fingerprinting-and-audio-recognition-with-python/ – Chuk Ultima Feb 10 '18 at 17:09
  • Thanks for the answer, seems helpful, but theres also options to read a recorded file, or input from the microphone. So any idea how I could get the stream from my audio output? – Markus Mikkonen Feb 10 '18 at 18:52
  • Rather than trying to "listen" to audio, you may want to "listen" to message or events from a particular source and play prerecorded audio file accordingly. Which is a lot easier and there are examples available. Hopefully achieving the results close to what you desire. – Anil_M Feb 11 '18 at 00:09
  • Could you provide any links to the examples how to listen a certain source? Like could be done by hooking to a specific program or something like that? – Markus Mikkonen Feb 11 '18 at 12:58
  • You will need to use api to receive messages (facebook, twitter etc) and set alert in your code to handle message arrival event to play a audio file. Search with terms "audio alert on twitter / facebook messages via api" – Anil_M Feb 11 '18 at 20:20
