How do I remove music from sound card output programmatically, so for any app playing sound (browser, media player ...) the output sound would filter the sound for music and remove it ?

Thank you in advance.

And how are you going to define "music"? No, it simply makes no sense.

No can do. Sound cards don't do that sort of thing.

If your app of interest plays sounds when events occur, you can fix that though. To do this, open the "Sound" control panel, click on "Sounds" tab. If your app shows up in the list, you can modify the sound selections for that app's events (including turning sounds off).

Thank you Brydon, I mean by my question I have to control my sound card (filters, sound level ...) by the way of a framework or utility, let's say I have an Intel integrated sound card, do I can develop a tool or use a library to do so ?

I think it should be possible, because i use a media player that eliminate the music sound and let the vocals of the singer (approximately), but this is possible only when the player is playing an mp3 file. I want that this will be possible for all sound out of my PC (programmatically if possible).

No, a player doesn't do it as you described. How? Do you mean creation of a "minus phonogram" out of a audio record? Please see my comments to the question and this answer.

5ed. I would simply tell that it makes no sense. There is no a way to tell music from non-music.

Sergey, it does not make sense for you but it's my need and I think it is possible, i want to filter vocals of the singer from the music so I could later manipulate each one.

You just formulated it in not a sensible way. I do understand if you want to filter out a singer, this problem is solved, and not a simple one. The algorithm use audio features specific to human voice. And yet, the result is hardly perfect. But you cannot filter out "music". Do you see the difference? That's why it makes no sense, as formulated.
