Everithing on MusicBeam is working but it will not detect any audio. Its just a straight line on the graph.
(And yes music is running)

Hi @Matteotuerk,

Thank you for reaching out. I presume you have the wrong input selected. Music Beam will hook into the system's default input. Please check out FAQ. If you need to hook into your output because you are playing music from the same machine. You can either use the mic input, build a line-in loop or set up a virtual line in, see also https://github.com/codingjoe/MusicBeam/wiki/How-to-setup-a-Virtual-Audio-Cable

I hope this helps.

Best Joe

What if you want it to listen to your output, like the music playing on the same PC, not necessarily a microphone input?

This is how most visualizers work, or they give you both inputs and outputs to choose form. Cool project. I used to use something similar ~15 years ago for raves and shows. This is different and was curious what newer stuff might be out there today!
Thanks!
