Varies depending by what you use, but generally it happens in these steps:
1) Mic receives audio
2) The microphone sends the audio to the soundboard program
3) The soundboard adds on whatever sound effects the user signals for
4) The soundboard sends the audio to your voice chat program through a virtual mic (it tells windows that there’s a new microphone, which is just the program piping audio to your voice chat)
