Audio Source

An audio source is the origin of sound that is played through a device, such as a music player, microphone, or computer. It provides the original audio information that is transmitted, processed, and ultimately heard through speakers or headphones. Think of it as the starting point of the sound—like a song, voice, or instrument—that creates the audio experience. In audio systems, identifying or selecting the source allows users to control what sound they are listening to, whether it's a streaming service, a microphone input, or a connected device.
