WinXP directly driving two 4-way active speakers

I have no idea what Larsen is, and probably will not remember it anyway. But I know what a feedback loop is...

@steph_tsf - you are a smart guy, but try to be less harsh on others. I understand, that you may be "touched" by savantic gift, which makes you genius in one direction, while producing the ordinary reality more challenging for you. But it does not means that you have to stop there. You can integrate both - your genius and ability to learn what others "just" have by default. Life on Earth is an adventure, not a curse. If you know how to make a good FFT analyzer - you can find right buttons to push too, to make the shared reality more enjoyable for all of us.

I never knew it was called Larsen effect.
At school (long long long ago) they called it singing effect, as the mic hears itself via the speaker.

I understand why "Larsen" remains ignored in some countries. There are sources saying that audio feedback got described as soon as 1890 by Hibbard in USA, in the context of telephonic systems. Larsen wasn't the first.

Okay, let's go back to software. In a nutshell, the lasagna that' currently working on a x86-WinXP computer is :
computer sound -> VAC -> ASIO-in, .exe compiled by Flowstone -> ASIO-out

Another lasagna that I would like to try is :
computer sound -> VAC -> ASIO-in - simple VST Host -> VST effect plugin compiled by Flowstone -> ASIO-out
1. Can somebody check this ?
2. Can somebody check if this is also working on x86-Linux and x86-MacOS ?

I have been using the operating system for a long time and I consider it to be the best for most users. I constantly delete the standard functionality of the operating system and change it to something more universal, for example, I replace WMP with https://yumdownload.com/k-lite-codec-pack. If you know this software, then you will understand what I'm talking about.
