Loopback is a technique in which an audio or video signal is routed back into itself or fed from an output back into an input of the same system or software, commonly used in live production to create feedback effects, enable multi-source mixing, or route signals between applications without external hardware. In broadcast and streaming contexts, loopback drivers or virtual audio cables allow digital audio to be captured from one application's output and fed into another, often used for mixing multiple sources or creating composite feeds during live events.
