Downloading and installing for Windows
Follow these steps to download and install the app.
- Download three components for your Android phone and a Windows PC:
- WO Mic app - this runs on your phone. It’s the part that captures your voice so you can transmit it to your PC.
- WO Mic client - runs on your PC and connects to the app to receive your voice data and sends it to your virtual mic device.
- WO Mic device - this also runs on your PC and receives the client program’s voice data. This program sends audio files to your apps, like Sound Cloud.
Once you install the drivers, the system will automatically create your WO Mic device. However, you still need to follow these steps:
- Click on your pop-up menu and go to your device manager.
- Then, go to your sound, video, and game controller.
- The drivers for the mic device should be listed.
- You can choose how to transport to communicate between your devices. You can select Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, or Wi-Fi Direct.
- Launch the WO Mic app from your phone and go to your settings to set your transport preference.
- Connect to the client.
- Once you’re connected, you can do a streaming test, and if the test is successful, you can start using the microphone.
Never download any of the drivers from untrusted sites, as they can have viruses, malware, or spyware.
