I have the Akai MPD218 drum pad (that I would like to use as a soundboard) and I was wondering if there was any way to play sound from it through my mic. I want to be able to press a button on it and have the sound play through a game or through discord/teamspeak. The only way I know that works prevents me from being able to talk. So to summarize, I want to be able to play a sound effect so others can hear it while still being able to talk in game and through discord. Also, I've seen twitch streams where people use a soundboard in a similar way. So I know it's possible, I just don't know how to do it. Thank you for your help. By the way, sorry if this is the wrong category, I'm new here.
 
In software, you'd need to create a virtual sound adapter, but I've found that creates a good 1-2 second of latency between reality and teamspeak.

Here's the software (virtual audio cable) http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm

The best way to do it would be to get any physical audio device that can bridge two microphone streams into one.
 


Unfortunately, that's not really an option. I don't have a usb mic. I have the Audio Technica at2035, which goes into an audio interface (Line 6 Ux2). Sorry, I probably should have mentioned that earlier.
