First of all, I did a quick search of the forum before posting . My apologies if I missed the relevant topic.

My questions:
1. Does DOSBox support a microphone? As far I can tell it doesn't.
2. If DOSBox doesn't support a microphone, does anyone know of an alternative DOSBox build that does? (DOSBox X doesn't appear to support a microhone either.)

Thank you.

To answer my own questions:
I have done some testing with Windows 3.11 and found that DOSBox and DOSBox-x both don't appear to support a microphone.

DOSBox-X now supports microphone input!

I've implemented real microphone capture using Windows WASAPI. Tested with Creative Parrot (Talking Parrot) and it works well.

To enable it, add to your dosbox-x.conf [sblaster] section:

recording source=microphone

Pre-built Windows binary for testing:

Note: Only tested with Creative Parrot so far. Feedback welcome!
