Virtual Audio Cable is useful to record application’s audio output in real time (audio player, instant messenger or software synthesizer), or transfer a sound stream to another application processing it. If more than one applications are receiving audio from Virtual Cable device, Virtual Audio Cable distributes the same audio data among all targets. If more than one applications are sending audio to Virtual Cable device, Virtual Audio Cable mixes all streams together. If you simply need a function like “Stereo Mix” under Vista/Win7, there could be better to try to enable it in your sound card. Virtual Audio Cable behavior is similar to “What You Hear” (or “What U Hear”, “Stereo Mix”) feature of Sound Blaster Live! and Audigy sound cards. All transfers are made digitally, providing NO sound quality loss (a bitperfect streaming). Any application can send audio stream to an output side of a cable, and any other application can receive this stream from an input side.

Virtual Audio Cable creates a set of virtual audio devices named “Virtual Cables”, each of them consists of a pair of the waveform input/output devices. Virtual Audio Cable (Shareware – $30/Windows) – virtual sound card software allowing you to transfer audio (wave) streams between applications and/or devices.
