Jul 15, 2011 But if you have a DJ controller that doesn’t have a built-in sound interface (many older and cheaper models don’t), then the sound comes from your computer – and specifically, from its headphones-out socket. Trouble is, there’s only one of them. Dec 21, 2016 How to Setup Virtual Audio Cables. A/V Club; Streamer Handbook. Note: While we suggest utilizing Virtual Audio cable where necessary and when applicable, we’re unfortunately unable to support any technical issues with the software. For help with Virtual Audio Cable please reach out to VB-Audio.
Virtual Audio Cable (VAC) is an audio bridge between applications that transmits sounds (audio streams) from app to app, from device to device.
VAC creates a set of virtual audio devices. Each device simulates an audio adapter (card) whose output is internally connected to the input, making a loopback. If an application plays audio to the output, the sound will not be audible because the signal is looped back to the input. But if another application records from the input, it receives the sound produced by the first app.
Such virtual devices are named Virtual Cables. The 'Virtual Cable' term is used only in VAC description, as a placeholder. Actual device/endpoint names that you will see in applications' windows, are different (for example, 'Line 1', 'Line 2' etc.).
Each side of any Virtual Cable can be used by several apps at the same time. Sounds directed to the same playback endpoint are mixed. From the recording endpoint, each app gets its own copy of the sound.
VAC delivers audio signals completely inside the computer. No audio hardware is required. There is no quality loss (if no format conversion and/or volume control are involved). If all required conditions are met, audio transfer is bitperfect, suitable for audiophile applications. In well-tuned systems, signal latency is very low.
To transfer/route audio signals from an endpoint (device) to another, VAC offers Audio Repeater application.
Warning: there are several other products named 'Virtual Audio Cable' in the net. Some of them just use this name for promotional purposes, but some others are completely fake and contain malware. If you decide to try them, don't forget to check their sites/binaries with antivirus services.

Silverpastie, Very user unfriendlyPerhaps if you’re using this app everyday and you get to know the huge and illogical workings of this dog’s breakfast called garage band it can be really great, but it is NOT for the casual user.Even the most seemingly simple of editing a short sound file will cost you hours of your life as you navigate the poor display and seek help through the app it’s self only to still have to resort to search for answers elsewhere on the net.And it’s just so counter intuitive!

Virtual Audio Cable Windows 10
Compatibility
VAC works in Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10.
No obsessive activity
VAC just performs things what it is intended for: passes audio streams between applications, converting audio formats if necessary. It never guides you to advertising pages, nor pops up busily on the screen, nor installs hidden activities in your system. VAC does only actions that you explicitly demand for.
