Very nice, I use this over Virtual audio cable. It's donationware, if you donate you can have more virtual audio device, I am a bit broke but I consider donating.

Allows me to record more audio track with Open Broadcaster, I separated audio from discord and music with this.

So far no problems.

If you are looking for alternative to Virtual Audio Cable, go for this, I think you will like it.

PS : unlike VAC, to listen to the virtual device in the speaker, you have to go in the properties of the "recording device" tab (there is 2 device, one in Playback, the other in Recording)

Despite a lot of rerouting on my computer I could not get this to work at all. I was initially trying to capture Ableton sound tracks to Goldwave but when I set the devices for playback and recording and then attempted to record using the test record feature in Goldwave it detected no signal. Trying to find a loopback alternative due to inability of the Focusrite 2i2 having no such ability (kind of lame) when my old 2496 performed this easily.

Works as described. It allows me to have two simultaneous audio applications open at the same time (such as a DAW and Video Editor, whom both want exclusive access to the ASIO driver), without resource conflicts. I can route the signal back into the default device to mix back in, or send it elsewhere without issue.

I was using Virtual audio cable to pipe audio around, however i had issues getting the cables to stay stable, i tried this and it never has these problems, It just works!

This allows me to finally use Audacity again in Windows7 to record sound directly off the browser without paying $20 for the stupid NCH Sound Tap program, but there is one downside; You need to disable the speakers or like me; you'll notice sound doubling issues on the record track. You might be able to just volume down all the way instead, I didn't try that.

Anyway it's free so no real complaints. There was no malware in there either , atleast not when I downloaded it. They do have a donation site which is neat; I'll be glad to donate when I get a visa in the mail again haha. I'm sure I will. It's hard to find good software that is not intrusive with polls and surveys : )

If you're using linux , like Ubuntu Studio icon Ubuntu Studio , there are other better programs for this application. Sometimes I run that os off disc, but it's just irritating to use because it wants some of my hd space so i'm stuck w/w7 until I get an additional 500gigs.

What is VB-Audio Virtual Cable?

VB-Audio CABLE is a Windows Audio Driver working as a Virtual Audio Cable. After installing the VB-CABLE driver, a new playback device appears in the audio device list and can be set as default device. VB-CABLE can be set as the default device, just like any regular audio device. The Configure and Properties buttons allow to setup multi-channel features and device sound quality. All signal coming in the CABLE input is going to the CABLE output. This makes it simple to record the audio stream using some other application.

VB-CABLE allows routing audio signals from one application to another. A typical application for the Virtual Audio Cable is to route your sound to an audio software in order to record and analyze it. From whatever audio source, to whatever audio software supporting MME, DirectX or WDM Audio Device drivers.
