funny things to do with vb virtual audio cable

Make an aggregate device of Soundflower + an audio interface and you can shuttle audio around any way you please. Set it as your OS audio device and any media player will have the 5.1 output coming down channels 1-6. I've been using Soundflower for that for a long time now. I also purchased their MIDI Thru utility which is very handy too.

It isn't free but it is very reasonably priced (and cheaper for you guys in the USA given the Aussie dollar exchange rate right now). It doesn't need to resample and clocks to the ASIO driver (RME in my case) so the audio is bit perfect with no degradation. No pops, glitches or noises even with the web browser running using a WiFi internet connection. I'm listening to Jean-Michel Jarre 'Aero' DVD (5.1 DTS audio) right now while I am connected to the net and typing this and it is rock solid. I'm routing VLC into REAPER and then using REAPER to upmix 5.1 (or 7.1) to Ambisonic third order and out to my 3D cube monitoring rig and it works flawlessly. There's also two others with more i/o but the basic one gives eight i/o which is more than enough for surround from VLC up to 7.1 channel.

After that, I just looped a digital output from my RME Fireface back to another input and that worked well but it only worked with VLC in stereo and it used up a physical in and out on the Fireface.Īnyway, the solution for me is O Deus ASIO Link. I had previously experimented with VB-Audio Hi-Fi Cable but could never get it to work without clicks and pops. It can be used to route any audio from any app into any other app too (even over a network connection). Thanks to Plush2 on THIS THREAD, I just discovered a great little Aussie utility to route 5.1 channel surround from VLC Player directly into REAPER via ASIO.
