Abstract
A method that allows two or more APs (application programs) to use a sound card and an AP to select an input device of the sound card regardless of a mixer device of the sound card is disclosed.
A connecting module 31 is disposed among a sound card 17, a HDD 13, and an NIC 19. Switches 32 and 33 are disposed in parallel to the connecting module 31. In other words, an audio signal that is input form the sound card 17 is supplied to the NIC 19 through the switch 32. In addition, the audio signal is supplied to the HDD 13 through the switch 33. The switch 32 is equivalent to a concept of an application interface for starting and stopping a sending operation for an audio signal supplied from the sound card 17 to the network 111. The switch 33 is equivalent to a concept of an application interface for starting and stopping a saving operation for an audio signal supplied from the sound card 17 to the HDD 13.
