Not working with loopback devices

Input Devices
In form of: DEVICE_NAME [Sample Rate=?] [Loopback?] (Index=INDEX)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Sound Mapper - Input [Sample Rate=44100] (Index=0)
Primary Sound Capture Driver [Sample Rate=44100] (Index=7)
Realtek Digital Output (Realtek(R) Audio) [Loopback] [Sample Rate=48000] (Index=20)
Headphones (USB-C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter) [Loopback] [Sample Rate=48000] (Index=22)
The first two input devices worked just fine, but the last two are having errors when passing in their index as the audio device to listen to. I believe this is because they are listed as loopback devices because it's the only difference I see.
Error for device[20]

I read the FAQ and saw the comments regarding OSError: [Errno -9999] Unanticipated host error but even when I tried device @ index 20 I had an issue albeit a new one. Are loopback devices not supported?
Yes. sorry. I haven't got loopback devices working myself yet.
For now i recommend trying to use stereomix or something like voicemeeter.
Stereomix description (for windows 7, but should not have changed much in windows 10): https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/39532/how-to-enable-stereo-mix-in-windows-7-to-record-audio/
Voicemeeter: https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/
I had very good results using Voicemeeter myself
and with VBAN https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/vban.htm
the A.I. processing can even be "outsourced" to a second PC.
To be honest I have no idea why my audio output is even marked as a loopback device. I'll go ahead and try one of the suggestions you linked. Thank you.
