What is Reddit's opinion of VB-Audio Virtual Cable?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I have a soundboard aswell you need these 2 programms:

1. DC+SB (soundboard itself)

2. a virtual audio cable (I use this one http://www.vb-audio.com/Cable/index.htm)

Then you need to set it up with your system settings (sound) etc. With this version you can also speak just normal (mic etc.). You can just import sounds in the DC+SB programm and bind them to any key you want.

Advice fag [](#haHAA)

You can use VB-Audio Cable as a basic audio device. When it's installed right click your audio icon in the bottom right and select Recording devices. Select the audio cable and go to properties, and then from there go to listen and check listen to this device, and select your Speakers.

Then, go to Discord and set your output device to be your speakers (not the default option) and every time you want them to hear the audio set your capture device to the VB Audio Cable instead of your microphone. Once you're done you can set it back to your microphone.

Now all you have to do if you're on Windows 10 is click on the volume icon so the volume slider appears and click the drop down box above the volume slider and set it to be the VB Audio Cable.

Now, all your system audio except Discord will be playing through that and they and you should be able to hear anything you play.

If you want them to be able to hear your microphone at the same time, then go to your recording devices again and enable listen on the microphone, but this time set it to output to the virtual audio cable. You'll be able to hear yourself, but so will they.

This is about as simple as it can get without using software like Voicemeeter Banana.

Here's the download to it: http://www.vb-audio.com/Cable/

I've been using the free VSTHost with various free VST plug-ins (a few of them being reaper plug-ins). It's not exactly self-explanatory to set up but I found a few good YT videos that guided me through it. Also for this setup I needed Virtual Audio Cable.

Since my switch from OBS Classic to Studio I embedded these plug-ins directly in OBS Studio. But I still use VSTHost for offline recordings.

try downloading VB Audio Cable and set discord to output to that, and have the audio cable as a hardware input. I have a similar setup but I use mine to play audio through my voicemeeter output that'd be mixed with my voice but it might do what you want.

here's a link to the virtual audio cable. http://www.vb-audio.com/Cable/VirtualCables.htm

I did something similar to watch Netflix on my laptop with audio coming from my main computer.

I used a program called Virtual Audio Cables on my laptop to pipe the output audio so that it shows up as an input, (the computer thinks it is coming from a microphone). Then I setup a voip software on both computers to bring the audio from one computer to another, as far as it knows the sound is coming from the microphone on the laptop and playing on the desktop. I used mumble because I could setup a local server and avoid the lag of going over the internet.

It was a pain to set up and configure everything but worked rather well once it was going, although I think if you can you would be better off using a physical cable to avoid the setup.

there is a work around to have all of your audio be separate sources in obs, but its a pain in the ass IMO. You need to use voicemeter banana and virtual cable,together however it seems to degrades the audio quality so bad. Also, its a pain to set up as well. As far as i'm aware, there is no native way in OBS to do this

This ultimately depends on what method you want to play music through. If it's Google Play or downloaded music, where you are able to choose your output device, you'd want to use Virtual Audio Cables (VACs) with Voicemeeter Banana (the best virtual mixing software imho), though you could just use the default windows mixer and VAC.

If you want to use Spotify or another means in which you can't change your output device, there's an open source software called Audio Router that I use for my Spotify so that I can route it to a VAC, and then to Voicemeeter Banana. I only go this extra step because I love my Spotify premium.

The reason I (and most people) use Voicemeeter is because it's great being being able to put on your playlist and play it in your ears and on stream, but it also allows you to turn it off in your ears or on the stream at the click of a button. Voicemeeter also has a lot of other cool features that you may consider looking into as well.

edit: phrasing

Okay the solution I had in mind (by setting the BUS ID via sound_device_override is not working.

This ugly workaround should do it:

• Download the free Virtual Audio Cable from here: http://www.vb-audio.com/Cable/index.htm
  
• Extract the archive and run either "VBCABLE_Setup.exe" (x86/32bit OS) or "VBCABLE_Setup_x64.exe" (x64/64bit OS) with administrator privileges (it's safe, I use Virtual Audio cables since years).
  
• Restart your PC.
  
• Make sure your default audio device has not changed!
  
• Start CSGO and select the new audio device, below the one that you actually want to use.

If VALVe is ever going to fix this bug, you can safely uninstall the Virtual Audio Cable again.

Try installing VB Cable. Don't do anything with it, just install it and then set your default output device back to whatever you normally use.

1) I would probaply rather watch it if it was pc. 2) You have background voice and the raw voice soind bad quality, use these two softwares for it: http://www.vb-audio.com/Cable/index.htm and www.reaper.fm Here is a tutorial on how to use them directly in a stream: https://youtu.be/KkcwFEjCnzk

I had done something similar... But NOT between browser tabs, I don't think is possible (not easily anyways).

I had used a VB cable to do this: So I had OBS capture audio from VLC via VB cable, which I had streamed from Youtube (so that it wasn't in a tab anymore but a dedicated program I can pull audio from with teh cable) and when its set up like that, I was also able to talk to my buddy on discord without it catch our conversation, but there was still audio on the stream. Only problem was it was hard to tell how loud it was (aside from the audio bar).

I LOVE vb cable. I use it in a different way these days. I use it so I can have a voice changer change my voice in-stream, but my regular voice goes through discord. Fun stuff :)

So maybe this could be an option, as well has using audio sources "Audio input/output capture" to find a creative solution for what you're trying to do. :) Good luck!

Try installing VB-Audio Virtual Cable: http://www.vb-audio.com/Cable/index.htm

It works as virtual audio source, and the Steam Link will always use it when it's installed instead of whatever you normally use. Just make sure it's not set as the default device outside of streaming, or you won't get any audio locally.

Not entirely sure what the OPs problem is but it might be worth a shot for that too.

I've already posted this suggestion in a similar thread. Probably the issue has nothing to do with audio drivers if you have sound on your pc. Check Steam Link audio settings. Also try to use virtual cable if changing of settings doesn't work. http://www.vb-audio.com/Cable/index.htm It creates a fake audio device which you should activate before using steam link. You can configure your speaker setup in Windows sound devices. It solved my problems for 5.1 sound when Steam Link is connected to AV reciever so i think it is worth a try.
