I don't use it so I can't tell for sure, but if you mean "send audio files to other people by using discord", this might be possible if discord has command line options able to do that - all you would need is a RunCommand measure and something (a mouse action from a meter, that kind of thing) to trigger the action. If this is not what you meant, some clarification regarding on what exactly you'd like to achieve would be needed.

you're right, I didn't explain it very well.. i'm in a discord vocal channel with friends and i'd like to play a sound so that my friends can listen it, so I think it should be played in the input device (like i was talking in the mic). I've just done a little soundboard but the sound it's played in speakers and not send via output (microphone).

something like Voicemod soundboard, i click on the button and my friends listen this audio on the discord channel.

Oh, I see what you meant now. Rainmeter itself can only play some .wav on speakers, not on the microphone, see the Play bang here:
https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/bangs/#Application

There are speech plugins for Rainmeter, but again, they only play to the speakers / sound card. Obviously, if the mic "hears" the sound played by the speakers / headphones and is reproducing it, then you might be able to achieve a limited success with what you want. Otherwise, bar some specific cable related setup or some other software to do the above, I'm afraid it's going to be tricky to complete your goal. Not sure if PowerShell can play / overplay stuff directly to the mic, but if it can, then such a (mini) script can be triggered / executed by Rainmeter via the aforementioned RunCommand measure system.

You're welcome, have a nice day too (sorry I couldn't help more).

Something you could try (that has nothing to do with rainmeter) is using the stereo mix device as mic. That one "records" all system sounds and can be selected as mic to play whatever is playing on your system as if it was your microphone, it's a built-in virtual device.

Although you would need to find a way to make some kind of macro that changes the recording device to that, then plays the sound, then returns the recording device to your mic (might be possible using rainmeter, don't know).

Thanks you too Ricardo for the help!

What are some potential methods or tools for creating a macro or automation to switch the recording device to the stereo mix, play system sounds as if it were a microphone, and then switch back to the original microphone device?

Any recording software (e.g. Audacity, etc.) should have the ability to select the recording input. This is not the main problem, like RicardoTM also mentioned, but finding one that can be controlled through a script of some sort (e.g. batch, PowerShell, python, AutoIt, AutoHotKey, etc.) that could be then executed via a RunCommand measure by a Rainmeter skin. Why don't you try to find one yourself and come back here for advice on the Rainmeter part? For example, although code is not provided, see this similar AutoIt thread from... 2005:
