Virtual audio cable

[Ramonn]

I know how the software works, but I can't seem to figure this out.

I want to create a virtual cable with some computer sounds, that I can use as a capture device in teamspeak. But, of course it can't have the teamspeak playback on the same cable. 

I still want to be able to hear the teamspeak playback on my speakers.

It would have been easy if "teamspeak" would be recognized as a playback device inside windows.
^ If someone has a solution for that, I would be all good. 

To have the most options, I made 2 teamspeak profiles.
Player:
-Does not playback any sound from teamspeak
-Uses a virtual audio cable with pc sounds (stereo mix, excluding teamspeak playback basically) as capture device.

Talker:
-Plays back all teamspeak sounds (is able to mute "player" if needed) - Problem here is that it's sent straight to stereo mix..
-Is able to use just a mic as capture device.

Both can be assigned different capture and playback devices.

Help, ty

I used it, but it was super laggy and lost sync with video (like 2 seconds off nearly) so I got rid of it.

I think you have to create the virtual cable, set it as default in control panel, then launch teamspeak, hopefully it should output sounds there, set the regular audio output as default, then launch game. From what i've read, I think this is a Windows limitation, but don't quote me on that.

Ye I don't think this is possible.. It would be if there was a browser with custom output device settings.
I'm using spotify with the equalify plugin now, the plugin has output device settings lol..

Soo.. what I needed works! if anyone else is trying this with games or so, you would have to check if the game audio can be directed to a different output device (virtual cable). From there anything is possible, recording or streaming wise.. whatever

@awesomes8wc3 virtual audio cable is alright. Although if you use an audio repeater, which I don't atm.. u have to check that the latency or buffer isn't set too high.(1000 ms is the default, which is way too long) I can easily go below 100 ms and still have very good quality.

And you're right, Windows does register different programs as different audio lines. You are even able to adjust the volumes separately. Only you can't route them how you want, because they are not registered as an input device.

It's possible, my old motherboard had a "virtual line in" as such, which could loop back output audio to the input, and as you don't hear what you say, it worked. But unfortunately you couldn't talk on the same computer at the same time as playing something.

Ill use a music bot as an example, you need two "soundcards" to do it(virtual or physical/dongle).  Route your Front Channel into your Line In, this device will have a teamspeak muted profile and is your bot.  Your audio source for said bot needs to be set up to play to this sound card, your input device in teamspeak will be it's line in.

 

Set your other soundcard up as play/recording device.

 

My old Steelseries headphones came with a USB soundcard.  I routed the headphone into the mic jack with an actual cable.  I told WMP to play to this soundcard, I told teamspeak to use it's microphone as the recording device.  Teamspeak profile was muted and all notification sounds disabled, open mic set up.

 

All other sound went through my onboard as default Windows device, which my second Teamspeak profile was set up to use.  If I wanted to hear my music I just click "Listen to this Device" or put a ghost in the music bot channel

Software is probably the easier route tbh,

 

http://addons.teamspeak.com/directory/addon/miscellaneous-plugins/TeamSpeak3-MusicBot-Plugin.html  Basically run teamspeak in a virtual machine and it'll play music I think.
