MATLAB: Use of soundcard in Simulink!

Question

There is no proper Element in Simulink to include the soundcard of the laptop in real time. In standard Matlab there is the function autiorecorder. I would like to do the same in Simulink. In my special case it is a Realtec soundcard with interior microphone. A USB microphone could be an alternative.

Answer 1

The 'Audio Device Reader' block in the Audio System Toolbox would allow you to read audio from your computer's sound card. The following documentation page provides additional information on how to use this block:
