    If anyone's having issues with this now: This is kinda out of date! Not in that it's wrong/broken, it still contains useful information, but in that OBS can now do a lot of this for you if you add "Application Audio Capture"s to your sources.
    However, virtual cables are notably still very useful when you want to have stream only audio, that you don't have to hear yourself.

    In professional recording studios, outputs are generally placed on top and inputs are placed on the bottom of a patchbay, which is essentially a hub connecting all the studio's hardware. This is done because having an output placed directly on top of an input allows the patchbay to automatically route that output (of that piece of hardware) into the input (of another piece of hardware) without the use of using a physical cable. But you are right, in this case where they show the outputs and inputs of the same source, it makes no sense to have the output on top and input on the bottom lol

    Love your videos Aran! I have a setup with external Allen & Heath Qu-16 audio mixer coming via USB cable into OBS into Zoom and out onto web. I want to take the audio output of zoom (sounds from the web) and send them back to the mixer. The USB cable supports multiple simultaneous audio tracks in each direction. I need to send zoom audio back to the mixer on track 8. I figured I could use VB-Cable to do this, since even the free VC supports 8 tracks. I can't for the life of me figure out how to steer audio from an app (zoom, OBS, etc) into anything other than track 1 (or tracks 1+2 for stereo). I have all 5 VCs so if I could cross-connect tracks, that would work. I'm in a Mac environment.

      @jonpanek3105 2 роки тому

      @@aranhawaii Yes, I saw this video on the same day as the one you point to. IF OBS could steer audio out to 8 tracks I think I'd be fine. Since OBS "only" does 6 tracks, I still don't know how to get audio out on track 8. I wondered if there were some trick using VB Cables to "cross-wire" tracks from once cable into another, or something like that. My next workaround: I know channels 1-4 are claimed in my A&H Mixer. But maybe I can move what are currently on 5 or 6 so I can use it for the audio coming in from zoom - my original goal. Still - if there's a way to move audio from one track to another outside of a DAW, that'd be cool to know. Thanks!

    Thanks for the video. I'm a mac user, and I'm having some trouble with monitoring. Currently, I have Loopback audio installed (as well as Virtual Cables A & B) and I'm struggling to overcome the challenge of streaming music into zoom and being able to monitor the sound with hearing myself (delayed) in my headphones. I have desktop audio disabled as you suggested, and I have my Yeti Mic isolated as an independent input. OBS is set to monitor on Cable B and my Zoom microphone set on Cable B to capture everything coming out of OBS. I feel like I might be missing something easy. Hopefully someone understands what I am describing lol.

    I tried. I got well into the weeds after watching this. Admit this covers the basics but falls apart for me the moment I have to bring in PC game audio on a 1-PC setup. Would be more useful if targeted specific Twitch/YT Gaming use cases and illustrated the entire audio configuration in OBS. 1. Game streams. 2. Avoid music in the broadcast. 3. Playing music in the broadcast, but leaving it out of the VOD track. Ultimately I went back to sending Spotify to a display audio output and running a TRS cable from the display into the AUX port of an Astro Mixamp. Far more simple configuration for what I do.

Wish I could fit more into each video, but no one will click them if they’re more than 10 mins long (I know I wouldnt... im impatient when looking for answers), so to reach more people I have to keep it short. That means I have to structure the lesson to what will likely work for the majority of viewers who have simple setups.

And now after i separated audio tracks, the mic all of a sudden is too loud. i still had the same filters even changed them and they look great until i record and its still too loud. i checked my gain and audio level in the settings and everything is normal.

    Thanks for this video, big thumb up. I have set my game output as VC and made it "listen" in my windows and routed it to my main sound device. So now I have 2 channels in my OBS: 1 is VC, which is enabled and use to record sound from the game, and 2nd channel is speakers (default sound device) which is playing both desktop sounds like youtube and the game. This channel is muted in OBS, So only the VC channel with the game is recorded. So everything works fine, but... when I turon on the game OBS VC channel doesn't "see" VC sound. In order to fix I need to switch in-game sound device from VC input to Speakers, then back to VC and then it works, but every time I need to do this when I open the game. Is there any way to fix it? I can also see that I have 2 sound devices in my PC: Speakers, and Digital Audio S/PDIF. Which one should I use and set as default?

      That's because you are monitoring the cable IN obs, so when it's closed, you won't hear the cable. To fix that, you should setup in Windows to "listen" to those cables, and then don't use monitoring in OBS. Then, regardless of whether OBS is open or not, you will be able to hear any audio being routed through those cables.

Otherwise, when it plays through my earbuds, it plays on the desktop audio track as well, which defeats the entire purpose, so I ran my game through a separate cable, and used windows listen feature to listen to the game, but there is a delay in the audio on my end. I stream Escape from Tarkov, so audio is very important, and having this delay is rough. Any tips?

    Thank you for the tutorial! I set up the cable and it works but when I follow the steps fully (watched both videos) after setting it up it plays through both the cable and through desktop audio. I go into sound settings on windows to change the output but instead of going just through the cable it plays through both the cable and my desktop audio, so on stream it basically echo's. Is there a solution to this? Me and a friend both followed the steps and have the same issue. Any help would be appreciated!
    Edit: So I just figured out that if I use my headset as output device it plays through both channels, If I use my speakers as an output device it does indeed play through the cable

    This video was super helpful!! For the most part this works wonderfully,. I sadly have an issue when it comes to after I restart/relaunch certain programs. I have three different cables. 1) Games 2) Spotify 3) Discord/Chrome. Spotify and Chrome always work. Discord doesn't work at all no matter what cable it's on (so I usually get on the web version of discord if I need to capture that audio). Games will work if I remove and re-add it. It's a little tedious to have to do this constantly especially if I play more than one game in a stream so I'm hoping there's a fix. I've tried minor troubleshooting things like moving programs to another cable and installing it. I always end up needing to re-add it under "app volume and device preferences". Hopefully someone can help ;__;

    (Sorry for the repeated question, I just don’t know if your more likely to reply to an old video or new one lol so here I am asking again lol) Hey I have a really tuff question for you. I saw your video on using virtual cables to separate and control all audio sources individually and it’s been working great but I’ve come across a hiccup. All In-game chat (voice chat from squads in game, so not Xbox parties or discord) goes straight to desktop audio. The only input I don’t have going into my stream is desktop audio, so the stream can not hear the random squad mates I play with. They can only hear people I put in my discord or Xbox party because I put discord and Xbox into a virtual cable. So when I try to send desktop audio to a VC and then add audio monitor filter, It’s either just doesn’t work, echos, peaks really loud, or the stream can only hear it but I can’t. How can I keep all the perfect monitoring I have made and also find a way to get desktop audio to be heard in the stream and in my headphones without bad things happening lol?

    • @aranhawaii

      The whole plan is to never input Desktop audio (aka your speakers or headphones) in OBS Studio. This will completely prevent echoes. Then you have to go about deciding which applications should go to which virtual cables, and then set up "listening" in windows to your headphones/speakers (shown in this video) to be able to hear things for yourself.

    I got a little bit mixed up. So I have 2 cables, without selecting "Listen To This Device" at 8:18 I'm not able to hear Spotify in general (through Desktop Audio) and would only be able to hear it through Streamlabs OBS. Is it supposed to be like that or did I mix up a step? I'm looking to be able to hear music on desktop but also have it on stream without doubling the audio and being in vods which I watched your video on, super helpful! :D (Also I followed pretty much every step, having Desktop Audio devices set on cables C and D and under Monitoring device it's my earphones and it's still doubled. )

    • @aranhawaii
      @aranhawaii  2 роки тому +1

      Make sure you didn't set yourself to "Listen" to the cable in Windows AND in OBS. Otherwise, the cable seems to be working as intended. You can always go into Windows sound settings and just change the Output target of Spotify depending on whether you're streaming or not... set it to the Cable or your speakers.

      ​@@aranhawaii Hi again, sorry I'm still having a bit of trouble. I set Cable D as mainly games/discord cable and in the Apps volume and device prefs, I set Cable D in the top box in a game like Valorant and there's double sound (Only happens because I enabled Listen to this device on cable D), but before that, it couldn't detect voice comms of both in game and discord on Stream. Also, Cable C picks up game sounds for some reason when it's only meant to be for spotify. I also enabled that to Listen to this device as I wanted to listen to spotify outside of streamlabs obs.

    Ok so this helped me understand OBS a little bit more but didn’t help my problem. I’m using a stream deck as a soundboard and voice changer but can’t get it to work properly. It will either play through my mic and soundboard option in Obs while even being muted or won’t play into my game. I have the trouble with my mic being muted and still echoing in game. I’ve been struggling for awhile now and am hoping you will be able to help, I’m new to this and can really use some help please and thank you

    Great video! But this is still so confusing to me. I want a guest on my stream to be able to hear my desktop audio as well as my mic. I'm using Twitch Guest Star, and they can hear and see me just fine. But when I play UA-cam, for example, through a Browser source, they can't hear that. (But I hear it and it records in OBS output as well). I'm using Safford audio interface with a mic plugged into that.
    Someone recommended i use this download for my guests to hear my UA-cam audio, but I have no clue how to implement that for them via Twitch Guest Star once inset it up this way, or if it will even work. Thoughts? Or is there another way? Thank you!!

    Is it possible to have one cable for music and one for just everything else? Or is it necessary to have a separate audio cable for each different audio track you want to capture? I tend to do a lot of different things on stream and it would be a mission to set up an audio cable for every game, browser, video etc when the only thing I want removed from the VOD is music

      Depends on if you're using OBS Studio or Streamlabs OBS. If you're using OBS Studio, go into the properties of the Browser Source for your alerts, and find the checkbox that allows OBS to control the audio, and then you'll have a new item in your Audio mixer for alerts.

Would this be the right way to go about it? I presume I would download cables A, B, C and assign A to mic 1, B to Mic 2, and C to Computer speaker output which I could then add as discrete tracks in Adobe Audition? I'm so lost please help :P

    thanks mate, great video but I cannot get this working so hopefully you can help :) I find music distracting when playing video games so I want for the viewers to hear it but not me. I bought all for A, B, C and D virtual cables. I separated the sound like this, A for the music source (Chrome UA-cam free copyright music) - I want this to only be heard by my stream viewers and not me. B - for my main game I play, C for another game and D for another game. I play and stream with OBS Studio all these 3 games. However because in App volume and devices preferences, Master volume is set to Output in the Headphones, I hear all of them including the music - how can I make it so I don't hear the music? Thanks mate :)

    Can the OBS virtual audio cable show up as an output? Or is there a better solution?

I actually don't need any audio processing since I'm using my Rodecaster Pro to do that part but I need to add a sync delay of 250ms which is what I'm doing when I record directly in OBS.

    Aran, I have a question... actually several. You went through this with the VB-Audio virtual cables, and it seems really simple and straightforward. Does this solution have ANYTHING to do with Voicemeeter Banana? I've been using it to try to get around the whole ASIO4ALL issue of certain sound sources getting kicked to the curb when others are in use. For example, if I run a standalone VST instrument and control it with a midi controller, system audio sources disappear, like UA-cam or other music playback programs, etc. I want to sort out my audio interface, audio playback / communication programs, DAW/VSTs and OBS once and for all, so that I don't "break" my sound every time I want to do something different. I also use Skype and various messenger apps (FB messenger, What's App, etc.) other communication programs. HELP!

    • @aranhawaii

      Banana is a kind of virtual cable manager, but it's a whole other beast, whereas this is it's own way of routing audio that is more manual than Banana.

    edit: im using a headset, but im not sure if that's relevant or not.
    So I've had audio issues before and I thought this would help but I still seem to be stuck.
    I've selected my headphones as my monitoring device, but even when my mic is muted audio will still show it us coming through my mic/aux input when monitoring. I've tried setting the playback through windows instead of OBS but the same thing happens.
    The result is a slight but noticeable echo that is present on stream and in recordings.
    (If I open a recording up and look a the audio tracks, I can see that my mix/aux is playing the same exact thing just a bit quieter.)
