That strip sends audio to my headset and to virtual out "B3", which I use in fldigi and so on. VAIO 3: that's my SDR channel, as you can tell by the two icons. Wife wants to listen, too? Just add "A3" to send Skype sound to headset AND my PC speakers. You guessed right, that's incoming audio from Skype going to my headset. Voicemeeter Aux with "A2" as only output, being my headset (and default communications device under Windows). Voicemeeter Vaio, my default sound device under Windows, for general audio purposes second input is the microphone of my headset, which goes to "B2", the second virtual channel, routing my mike to Skype. Using Voicemeeter allows me to select which input I want to stream to the DAC. I could have used the DAC directly in my audio player, but then again I sometimes want to use the DAC with my AKG K701 connected to it for listening to something else. first input is my VBCable out (yes, you can pipe VBCable into Voicemeeter) for listening to 96kHz audio via my USB ODAC (first hardware output, note the green "A1" button on the first strip). You can configure a complex matrix of input and output routing, so you could use one virtual channel for Skype (headset mike in/ headset out), another one for SDR, and a third channel for listening to music only, or any combination desired. They work much like each other and offer few, minor changes.Are you saying that VoiceMeeter totally replaces the Windows audio mixer?Yes, kind of. You can also use hardware connections with VM and VB, so you have more flexibility in audio links. Yes, both VB Cable and Voicemeeter are free to use while offering different settings.

You can use it on computers running Windows XP or later. Voicemeeter has the most attractive design among the three alternatives. All three lack compatibility across platforms, unfortunately. VB-Cable and Voicemeeter are free, while VAC is not. Its use of excessive jargon is also off-putting. The interface is poorly designed and has little appeal. However, the software is rather difficult to use.Įven though it has a user manual, unlike VB-Cable, VAC falls short in every way when considering design. You will find the quality of the output to be the same as the input. When you use VAC to create a virtual cable to transfer audio, there should be no worry of latency in the link when it connects to an application. Why would you have a physical audio connection when you can have a virtual one? VAC helps create virtual audio connections.
