Ironically I've had the audio cleanup filters get in the way.

I was trying to make a program which would FFT sounds from my mic and trigger on certain frequencies or combinations of frequencies. The ideas was to have audio files on my phone to act as a sort of poor mans remote control. Yes I know there are wifi and bluetooth ways to do it but I wanted to experiment a bit with sound.

Anyway I'm pissing around for hours with packages and settings and I can't get the damn thing to work. Turns out my computer came with some super fancy beats audio^tm sound system which actively suppresses a microphone input of constant frequency under the assumption its an unwanted buzzing sound.

All features are someone else's bug.
