    VB-audio simply connects audio streams between devices. JACK is a virtual audio server and requires other unrelated programs and additional expertise to have the same functionality, if it is even possible.

    Virtual Cable is very easy to use, and connects output to input and input to output. Jack is a difficult to use audio server. See the differences? They can't be compared.

    This is for pro audio and for people that care. VB-Audio is a product that is shilled by trolls and who knows what or how they're spying on your system. JACK has been around for over a decade or more--trusted and reliable.

    While SoundDesk includes similar functionality through the virtual driver and virtual cable extensions, the purpose of the app seems to be very different.
