  • There is no Line 1 on this laptop D:

  • Simply put, none of this works for me. This isn't to discredit you. I followed your instructions, as well as having looked all across the Internet for help, and no matter what...silence. Neither the 'Listen' method nor the Audio Repeater method gives me an audible output at the speakers/headphones, even though all the steps in the middle seem to be right and the 'green bars' (the VU meters) are definitely registering input.

  • Hey hugonium

    I had a different question, im looking to split my laptop speakers and a set of bluetooth speakers. I have VAC, i added a couple of cables, played with the "listen too"

    other than that idk, any help would be great thanks

  • @therichshow831 oh im not sure if its possible....

  • @therichshow831 ok got it with audio repeater.. just some lag time

  • What do you do if the listen tab missing?

  • Excellent tutorial.. Missing 'Stereo Mix' option solved

  • A quick tutorial? it's 8 minutes long dum fk

  • What would I do if I just wanted to filter out skype so the stream could not hear it?

  • @soulja234 Make sure that the Audio output in your Skype settings is going directly to your speakers or headphones, and NOT in Lines 1 or 2.

  • I have one question: if I mute my Laptop, will the audio still get played (livestreamed)? I'd prefer to not have sound coming out of the Laptop since I already have it out the TV.

    But then I wonder if doing that also mutes the sound to the livestream. I hope there is a workaround if it does.

  • @k0d14k1 The 'physical' volume will not effect the signal at all. You can definitely turn the laptop volume down :)

  • @hugonium thanks for the reply. When I muted my laptop via the onboard button, it wouldn't mute, but I solved the problem by disabling the speakers in sound control. It still allowed for sound tho, since virtual cable line 1 was showing sound, and also through FME.

  • Very good in-depth video on VAC. I watched another tutorial video on how to livestream, and the guy just brushed over this because he already had stereo mix. I didn't know you had to go to Recording, and check Listen-In. I was getting no sound.

  • Awesome video! A+++++

  • Okay so I have windows Vista 32bit, and I'm using Vac 4.09. I'm using the repeater because I couldn't find the listen tab. So I have my Wave in set to Line 1, and my Wave out set to my speakers, and when I hit start all I get is this voice saying "trial" are my settings correct because I want to stream audio from my computer. I'm trying to figure this out to stream audio with Beta.Join.me (yes it uses audio now) Any help would be appreciated.

  • So I set line 1 as the default playback device, and then under the recording tab I set Line 1 as the default playback/communications device and told it to listen to my speakers. Now FME shows the bars moving while audio is playing. I also want to have my voice over the stream, so I set my microphone to listen to Line 1. Now Line 1 picks up both my sound and my microphone. Problem is that I can also hear myself over my speakers. Is there anyways to fix that?

  • @Spaisekraft Set up 2 lines from VAC's Control Panel. Make sure to disable line one from those two tabs firstly or else VAC will deny you from making the necessary change.

    Line 1 will be dedicated to stereo mixing. Line 2 dedicated purely for your voice AND the mixing. Allow your microphone to listen into Line 2. Allow Line 1 to listen into LINE 2 instead of your speakers. then you have to open an Audio Repeater (under VAC's Program Folder) and loop Line 1 into your speakers from there. gl

  • @hugonium I did all of this exactly, I was having the same problem as Spaisekraft , but in my stream nothing can be heard.

  • Comment removed

  • @hugonium The lag is rather annoying though, am I doing something wrong or can't I remove the lag in audio repeater as per your reply with it

  • @Sodorii The only way to mitigate the lag is by lowering the buffer size in the repeater, and this requires some toying around until you find the right size. Keep lowering it little by little until you start hearing artifacts (or when it completely stops working) and find a middle ground from there. Aside from that, there's not much you can do. Good luck!

  • what can i do i have no line 1 ?

  • @eurofighter13 ditto can someone answer? why this is?

  • @eurofighter13 Two things to run down:

    1) Make sure you have "Disabled Devices" checked so they appear in the list. Perhaps Line 1 will show now, and you can enable it from here

    2) Go into VAC's Control panel and make sure there is at least one cable present in the list. You can set how many cabled you need at the top left with the "Set" button.

  • @hugonium if i wants to start the control panel it says driver not loaded

  • @eurofighter13 Forgot to mention to hit "restart" and check if it works. The thing is if the cable(s) is under use then you have to disable it first from the playback/recording tabs and do the VAC control panel work from there. Good luck.

  • Your tutorial was very helpful to me.

    Especially about how to get the sound to the speakers even when you have selected Line 1 as your default playback option.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thank you again.

    Saved me a lot of time!!!!!!!!!!

  • I get a strange error message when I try to add a new cable, saying "Cannot set number of cables to 2 (0/2404 - The device is in use by an active process and cannot be disconnected)

  • @codemeister1990 You have to disable ALL virtual cables under the Recording and Playback tabs in order to change how many of them you want, from what I remember.

  • @hugonium I ended up removing the program from my computer, eventually it let me change it to 2 (I think, couldn't tell because of...) but then my computer immediately crashed, and wouldn't run for more than a minute in normal (non-safe) mode without freezing. So whatever that did, was not friendly to my laptop

  • How come I can't hear ANYTHING?

  • i don't get the listen tab at all, usin vista 32b

  • @hugonium i think i understood and i have VLC media player too, but what preferences do i need to choose, i want to set audio output to line 1 in VLC, but there are 4 output modules ( DirectX, ...) and i was like WTF?

  • @hugonium Ok i we done this, but now what do i have to do so my media player plays music, but so others hear it too, do i need to put media player output to line 1? Or what? o.O

  • So, this tutorial worked perfect for me but there's only one problem..

    They keys on my keyboard for volume control doesn't seem to control the right device. I could control the volume of Line 1 with them, but it doesn't have any effect on the actual speakers. Anyone have this problem?

  • @knifeguy

    This is a reply to myself. Found the solution by checking "Volume Control" in the VAC control panel.

    New problem is now my mic volume is way lower than my game volume. Anyone know of a way to lower the output of "Line 1" to a stream without it effecting what you hear? As in you hear the game at 100% through your headphones/speakers, but people watching your stream hear the game at maybe 50%

  • i dont have line i but i do have virtual calbe 1

  • i dont have line i but i do have virtual adio calbe 1

  • Im on recording and for some reason I dont get the listen tab do u know why? can you help?

  • OMG this is awesome, you dont know how much time i've been looking for this

  • Oh my goodness thanks...its finally a tutorial i can use!!

  • OK. the problem here, when have my microphone set to 'listen to this device' I can have to listen to myself talking the entire time. I want people on the stream to hear myself and the game sounds. I want myself to be able to hear the game, and that's it

  • @BillytheCrayon There is a work around to this problem, and it requires TWO VAC lines, and not just one. Just do everything that is said in the video with the exception of Line 1 listening into Line 2, and the Microphone set to Line 2. Line 1 will practically stay as your "stereo Mix" and the audio signal you'll listening into, while Line 2 will fuse your mix AND your Line 1 into your stream. Enable another line through the VAC control panel.

  • @hugonium Thank you. I did discover this last night while experimenting with it. I recently tried and am liking a new method for livestreaming though that seems to be working better. I just switched to XSplit broadcaster, and all my problems were solved :)

  • @hugonium I'm doing the following for that and I'm having issues as well...

    Playback:

    Default set to Line 1

    Recording:

    Line 1 > Listen On > Directed to Speakers

    Line 2 > Listen Off

    Microphone > Listen On > Directed to line 2

    Only the voice is streaming, how can I get it to stream the audio as well?

    Windows 7 64bit by the way.

  • @MSZSNeoBahamut19 Keep that setup, and use the audio repeater that came with VAC to send Line 1 to Line 2.

    The biggest problem with VAC's audio repeater is the latency (lag). Setting the buffer size helps but my computer would occasionally bug out and cut/distort the signal. I'm currently using a software called Wirecast to workout the video and audio streaming, thusly requiring me to use make available ONE VAC Line while Wirecast handles everything else. I highly recommend it over FME.

  • @hugonium I also noticed that streaming on JTV was extremely laggy (only tried League of Legends) despite me setting the resolution to 1280x720 and putting it at 1000 kbps... I have a good machine (6GB DDR3, Core i7 2.8 GHz, and a ATI 5770) and a solid connection. On my end it showed whatever framerate I wanted gladly without harshly affecting my computer in any noticeable way, yet when I would stream it would look like it was running at 2 FPS in game. However the mouse would move smoothly...

  • great video...nice work

  • Thank you! your the only person who did this right!

  • when i click the wrench next to the audio in put the options are untouchable

  • SHIT!!!!!!!!! I searched 2 hours for a tut like this. OMG thank you!

  • WTF IT KEEPS ON SAYING TRIAL WITH A GAY ASS VOICE AND IT'S PISSING ME THE FUCK OFFF!!!!!!!!!!

  • mine keeps sayin trial

  • So, lets say i want to record something with my fraps, but i still want to talk onskype, how do i do?

  • great tut bro helped alot. but i do have one problem when i send the audio from my ps3 to my computer and when i try to stream there is a noticeable lag from the audio game play if that makes sense. any idea how to fix that problem?

  • @jeffreynieves In the Audio Repeater window is a "Buffer Size" scroll box. Set it as low as possible, but if you set it too low you'll end up with sound artifacts. I usually use 150-200.

  • There is no play back device in my task wtf ?

  • i have the trial and its really fucking annoying hearing that lady going "trial" every 10 seconds. is there any "free" way to get rid of this?

  • What is the name of the credit card you bought this program with? I tried to buy it with American Express and it didnt work

  • where can you get that wallpaper?o_o

  • @Longi94 GO google pokeball under Google Images. it should be there :P

  • I don't have line 1 on my playback tab and the recording tab! What should I do?

  • can i drop you a PM? i'm having some trouble with virtual audio cable.

  • @mogsjam It's been a month, but damn. Go ahead and PM.

  • @hugonium yeah, i solved it, but thank you for the offer.

  • LOL at 6:49

  • yeah... and how do you get past the whole TRIAL TRIAL TRIAL TRIAL crap...

  • @jasonmnosaj You don't have the full (legit) version.

  • @hugonium yes i noticed way back when. i figured it out so now i have the real vr. but unfortunetly it somehow curopted my capture device. so i just whent for the easy way and baught the dam thing lol XD

  • @hugonium

    how to get the legit version plz? that's free ? sorry for my bad english i'm a frensh guy ^^

  • tnx i have win 7 and works for me i look other tutorials on virtual audio cable but this is best one :D

  • I want your background, do you have a link? :(

  • Hey, when I set up the Line and use the Listen tab to send the sound back to my headphones (or even use Audio Repeater), it works fine, no echo or delay or anything. But when I set Line 1 as my audio device in FME and stream to justin.tv, sound coming from the stream echos at about a 4 second delay... this only happens when I try to stream, and only the stream echos, all other stereo/desktop sounds are fine. Help?

  • Great tutorial. Two questions: Does it matter which Audio Repeater I use and what parts do I need to buy to get the game cable's volume onto the computer?

  • any tips on getting the full version?

  • @ISAYLORI torrent

  • ty so much for this dude! i was worrying a hell of alot about my new laptop for xmas not having stereo mix, now i dont have to worry!, btw does the free version last forever, just with limited lines?

  • @RHossall The free version will work just the same way the full version will. The biggest (and the most annoying) problem with it is the sound-byte of a lady saying it's a demo version every 15-30 seconds when channeling signals down one of its lines. Only use the free version for compatibility purposes.

  • @hugonium Thanks :)

  • I'm currently getting swamped with my finals for school, but once I have that completed, I'll try my best to answer all your inquiries during my winter break, or do individual "Teamviewer" sessions with you all.

  • i can't figure out how to broadcast audio from my desktop. I have to use audio repeater because I don't have the levels tab in the sound devices. However, the repeater won't pick up my desktop.

  • @Son23 If you have Line 1 under playback set to default, then you should see levels inside it, alongside audio repeater. I found out over the time between this video and now that the Listen tab can bug out and not work at all.

  • Also, I'm getting a really odd echo, and ugh, this is really damn frustrating...

  • @bosoxdanc1 Open two VAC lines.  Send your microphone output into VAC Line 2, and send your VAC Line 1 into VAC Line 2. If you can imagine this, all the signals are converging onto one line and your microphone output isn't getting mixed into your Line 1. Hope this fixes things.

  • What do I do if I don't want to hear my game and mic through my speakers, but would like to use my PC for music, or just something, lol.

  • noone can ever answer why it says TRIAL every 3 secs...I get that from the demo.I take it the demo is useless?

  • @420Kilala VAC's website strictly states that the demo is to be only used to see if the software is usable and fully functional on your computer. I ran into the same trouble too, but there's a full version out there somewhere, FOR SURE.

  • My keeps saying trial how do i get rid of it. msg me on xbl if u have it. NwG x Havoc plz

  • My only problem is I do not have a "listen" tab. Would I have to setup another line to repeat that back to my playback device (i.e., headphones, speakers, whatever), or is there another workaround for Vista Home Basic?

  • @iraqijew Try the tactic seen at the end of the video. Head towards VAC's "Audio Repeater".

  • @hugonium Curiously enough, it appears no workaround is required. I have two playback devices connected to my computer -- two speakers, and a headset. When I set the VAC Line 1 as the playback device, the audio which was previously routed through the speakers, for some inexplicable reason, played in the headset.

    I have no idea how or why it works, but it does.

  • Got me working with FME thanks but I can hear my self Im using windows 7 any fix

  • i love you!!!!!!!!!! i spend so much time looking for this...thnx

  • Thankss alot finaly solved my problem

  • Great tutorial. Just what i was looking for. I was having problems setting up my Xbox, now audio is fixed with mic & sound. Many thanks.
