VIRTUAL AUDIO DEVICE - VB-AUDIO VIRTUAL CABLE

VB-AUDIO VIRTUAL CABLE

This VB-AUDIO VIRTUAL CABLE worked extremely well during my tests with FLDIGI and MUMBLE.  It never glitched or crashed during a - 2 day -  24/7 test - with the FLdigi morse code audio tone output sending CW(from a repeating text file) using the VB-AUDIO VIRTUAL CABLE to connect to the MUMBLE input.

Very easy to setup and use.

- Here are a few screenshots of my setup -

FLdigi - VB-Audio Virtual Cable -

is selected as the FLdigi Playback soundcard

Select VB-Audio Virtual Cable for the MUMBLE INPUT

All audio travels over this VB-AUDIO VIRTUAL CABLE just like a sound card - from FLDIGI right over to the MUMBLE INPUT.  In order to hear FLdigi yourself, however, you will have to use an audio repeater application to grab the VB-AUDIO and send it to your normal sound card.   I have used several applications for this and all of them are free software and do a good job.

Here is an example of another great use for the VB-AUDIO VIRTUAL CABLE.  Pictured below are two instances of EhoCW software cw keyer in iambic mode.(for more info on this setup with EhoCW see HERE)  One of the them sends cw audio to the sound card for sidetone monitoring, the other one duplicates the cw keying of the first one exactly, however, it sends its audio through the VB-AUDIO VIRTUAL CABLE to the input of mumble as pictured above.(or to the audio input of any other morse code over the internet system like iCW)
