Sockets are a networking technology, is that what you really mean?

yep , actually i am trying to send audio streams from some other device to this pc via sockets (TCP) and i was wondering how to use that audio as the audio from microphone

So first you need to record the audio - and if you plan on doing it live, then you need to work with streams and buffer the audio. From there, you can just send data packets to the other machine and decode them. Have you done anything with recording the audio yet?

yep , i have done it....
using Playing Back Audio (The Java™ Tutorials > Sound)

Ok, then your audio data is just a byte array. You can break the byte array into chunks, and send each chunk over tcp. You can either do this directly by streaming the bytes out, or by encapsulating in a container class and sending via object serialization.
