How to know active audio device for sox in windows

Question

I'm trying to stream sound from my soundcard using sox's default audio device and dump it as a raw file. Unfortunately no sound is being detected.

Sox always use this as input and I think it's for linux.(correct me if i'm wrong but it doesn't really emit any sound in windows)

 '/dev/dsp' (ossdsp)

Answer 1

In WinXP, I downloaded SoX 14.3.0 from here, and from a command prompt I can do:

sox -d recfile.wav

which records from the soundcard. Where do you see SoX trying to use /dev/dsp?

Answer 2

sox -d -t wav - | lame - o.mp3

Just make sure the default audio in is wave out mix which can be set in sounds control panel.
