Long story short. How would I go about playing music/soundboards any type of audio I choose play through my microphone or other people to hear clearly.

What do I need to buy? Thank you.
 
Just to so I'm understanding you correctly; you want to play music/audio that your microphone picks it up, so other people can hear it, but hear it with decent quality?

If that's right, then you just need a good microphone capable of quality sound.

Depends what you are looking to spend and how good you need the sound to be. A Blue USB microphone should do the job, but how well that will work picking up sound from what I'm guessing will be speakers, compared to what they are normally used for, voice pick up from 2-3 inches, I don't know.

No. I want to play videos and want other people to hear what I click, such as soundboards etc. Not picking up through my microphone from the speakers.

You're not exactly being very clear, if people understood what you want, the likelihood of someone being able to help would increase dramatically.

When I play any sort of sound through my computer I want other people to hear it within the game I'm playing or perhaps discord. For example if I press a soundboard button I want others to hear it.
 
Without the sound being played by your speakers, which in turn is picked up by your microphone, then heard by other people you are connected to via VOIP or whatever it might be, I'm not sure what you are asking is possible.

If I am listening to something and I want friends I am chatting to, to hear it, then whatever that audio is, I would use speakers which then would be picked up via my microphone. I'm not sure how else that can be done if not using that method, other than to send a link of what it is you are listening to.
 
I've also wondered whether this is possible, having a playback device that directly links to a recording device within the windows sound manager, but I think it can only be done with specific sound cards.

You can change your default microphone to your system sounds. Try going to Control Panel > Hardware & Sound > Manage Audio Devices > Recording and enabling Stereo Mix and setting it to the default mic.

This is all I can find on the subject but I don't have that option on my PC.
 
I've done what you're asking a lot (minus soundboard) back in the days of Ventrilo. I can't remember of the setting was within Windows XP or Ventrilo (maybe a bit of both!) but there was definitely a way to set your PC audio be the output in place of your mic. I can't remember specifics, but just letting you know that this is possible.

I was just using my old onboard sound, nothing special.
