Developer’s Description

By Eugene Muzychenko

Transmit sounds (audio streams) from app to app, from device to device using software audio bridge.

Virtual Audio Cable connects audio applications together in real time. It's like a sound card with hardwired input and output: when an application sends an audio stream to a virtual cable, other applications can record this stream from the other cable end. Thus, you can record and process output of almost any audio application by almost any other audio application.

Unique piece of software

Pros
Although I use this tool for testing audio software on a laptop not equipped with bunch of inputs and outputs, it's extremely versatile audio routing utility with many use cases. Works great, highly recommended.
Cons
None really. Some complain about "you have to uninstall before upgrade", that is a minor inconvenience.
Summary
DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM

Pros
none, couldn't get it working
Cons
once set up and pressed start I got BSOD and it fried my laptop motherboard didn't offer any support
Summary
Ridiculously Annoying. Period.

Pros
It's free. Super easy to install. Great way to integrate Winamp into Ventrilo.
Cons
The major problem I have here is that it has the "trial" announcement.
Summary
I downloaded this to make a "Jukebox" channel for my vent server. But there's this "trial" announcement every 10 seconds. It gets old REALLY fast. I'd recommend it, other than that. I could probably tolerate it if it was every 5 minutes, or even every 3 minutes. But no. Every 10 seconds. That killed it for me. One song into my raid, I had to stop everyone so that I could uninstall it. I do NOT recommend.
It's exactly what I'm looking for!

Pros
If you're a streamer it helps with skype calls, desktop audio, music, etc. If you don't have a natural stereo mix this is a great program. Easy to use
Cons
No free version The main website isn't put together well A little too pricey
Summary
I've been looking for a program like this for months, and this one sadly isn't well publicized. I can see this being used for streaming alot. Sadly the "trial" version can't be used one real streams, because it spam says "TRIAL" approximately every 10 seconds. It's a good program, sloppy but it'll get what you need done.
Insanely annoying

Pros
None that I can think of.
Cons
This will repeatedly say, "Trial" every 10 seconds until you can manage to get it successfully uninstalled.
Summary
MAKE CERTAIN that you do NOT have the virtual cable in use by any apps when you attempt to uninstall it, or the uninstall process will break and you'll be in for a world of pain.
Easy to use

Pros
I found the virtual audio cable to be very easy to setup and it worked very well. It is obvious many reviewers were too lazy to read the documentation or even try to understand what they were doing. The documentation is very good but you have to read it to understand it.
Cons
Too bad it's not free. The Trial version has an annoying voice announcement every few seconds.
Summary
Good product....
wanted to have a music bot but...trial

Pros
takes up space on your computer
Cons
TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL! TRIAL!
Summary
Trial is not usable!
JonBuoyOctober 28, 2011
Pros
Good setup configuration
Cons
The trial version randomly (1-5 sec interval) speaks "TRIAL" over the audio streams!! Can easily create a feedback loop that remains at bootup (prior to login) when an app such as Skype has defined one of the "cables" as an output device and "Stereo Mix" is an active "listen" device. Though easily corrected, it is QUITE THE SURPRISE after rebooting and returning at some later time and noticing that the speaker has been spewing white-ish noise from the feedback loop! OS is Windows 7.
Summary
The restriction on the trial version is MORE SEVERE than just only 2 cables, unless you like the female voice repeating "TRIAL"!
ok!!!!!,!!!!!!!!!!
