The original article
https://github.com/vlofgren/file-transfer-over-soundcard author tried to
reinvent the wheel - badly! 
He tried to build a bit to audio converter - a modem in software, softmodem
aka soundmodem, which does in software what a modem does in hardware,
ignoring almost a century of development since the news wires started using
teleprinters. 
His hardware interface was a microphone taped to headphones rather than a
simple cable connection - no wonder he had noise problems limiting him to 25
bps, the same rate achieved by IBM with cards in 1942 - see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modem#History - when lines used one wire, and
switching was relays, electro-mechanical, or plugboards. 

Look instead for something reasonable - search for softmodem or soundmodem
e.g. http://www.araneus.fi/audsl which gets 9.6kB/s duplex over kms of wire
pair. You can also find code to do regular V.92bis dialup modem emulation. 
Regular soundcards should be capable of 4x dialup bandwidth, allowing up to
72kB/s.
