If you use an application with Pulseaudio support but with no way of selecting the sound card, you can set it to output sound through the Virtual_Sink in the Sound Settings.
To test this, open and application that outputs sound and select Virtual_Sink. If you open Sound Settings, a new output device should have appeared, named Virtual_Sink. You should see no error after running this command. Pacmd load-module module-null-sink sink_name=Virtual_Sink sink_properties=scription=Virtual_Sink Is there a program, preferably lightweight, and preferably gratis (but, we'd pay for good software), that can stream audio both ways ( i.e.It's very simple to configure. We'd rather hear a constant 128 Kbps MP3 quality stream, than something that shifts around as we try to listen and analyze things. We're going to try this next, but we're afraid that not being able to set a constant audio quality (since both Skype and Hangouts adjust their stream qualities based on detected bandwidth quality) will become very annoying for the process. Of course, in retrospect, that was dumb-trying to use a broadcasting system for our point-to-point needs-but at the time we didn't think to make use of our soundcards' Stereo Mixer (basically a loopback mechanism, redirecting audio-out to line-in) and simply call each other over Skype or Hangouts.
When we tried SHOUTcast, there was about 5 or 6 seconds between me friend hitting "Play" and be hearing sounds.
However, its audio quality left much to be desired-the audio sounded like call center music over the phone.īut even more so than quality, we need low latency. the audio composition software) and hear everything together as we work.įor the "seeing" part, we found 's free desktop sharing service-and we were in particular impressed by its low latency and ease of sharing mouse control. It's essential that we're able to see one DAW ( i.e. A friend and I have been writing (electronic) music together for over a decade, but we're now separated by distance.
