Jamcast

Hi AimLXJ,

Sorry if this what you meant by saying no matter which option you pick, but have you made sure that Stereo Mix is checked in the recording mixer? It sounds like it's possible that your microphone is set to be the current recording input, or perhaps Ventrilo is setting it back to Microphone. Other apps like Skype also take the liberty of setting the recording input to microphone for you. Jamcast will stream from the selected recording input, so if that's what you're hearing then it's a matter of just changing to Stereo Mix.

Let me know.

Thanks!

Hi Scott,

I was able to get the jamcast virtual soundcard working with my Roku Soundbridge M2000 tonight. I have Windows XP with Creative SB Live soundcard. It took some searching to find stereo mix, but I think this was the sequence:

Right Click speaker icon, adjust audio properties, select Volume, Advanced, Playback Control - Options, properties, adjust volume for recording, select Stereo Mix.

Once I found Stereo Mix, I was able to play XM Radio online through the playlist option of virtual soundcard on the roku. I am very pleased! I do have to turn the sound down on my JBL speakers attached to the PC due to the sound delay between them and the Roku, but that's not a problem.

Thank you so much!

My broadcasted audio is from my internal mic (I have a laptop) instead of my stereo mix, can't find where to change it.

Please advise.

PS- in the last version I didn't have this problem, it began when I upgraded to the latest version.

Hi kormn,

This sounds like a sample rate problem. Can you paste your medialog.txt to http://pastebin.org and share it here so I can have a look?

Thanks!

Hi, posted my medialog on the pastebin.org page.

my soundcard is configured to: 24bit 48000Hz on play and record.

My ps3 is also 48000Hz.

Anything special on my log?

Thank you scott for your assistance!

Hehe....

1. I checked by using "Sound Recorder" (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Entertainment->Sound Recorder) and it was only recording on what was playing on my desktop not from my microphone

2. I tried all options (resetting Jamcast for each option) and still the same problem

Hi johnywhy,

On Vista/Windows 7, Jamcast does WASAPI loopback capture very similar to what is described in Matthew's blog. Jamcast will not show up in the Recording Devices window; this is normal.

From your device, you should be able to browse to Playlists->Virtual Soundcard and play what you're hearing on the PC.

Let me know if you still require assistance.

Thanks!

Hi johnywhy,

Right, and that's OK. On Vista, the available recording devices are irrelevant because WASAPI loopback is a capture of what's going to Playback.

What's the problem you're having exactly?

Thanks!

Hi johnywhy,

This software is for streaming audio from your PC to a UPnP/DLNA compliant device like the Playstation3 or Xbox360. On those devices, you connect to Jamcast and browse to the Virtual Soundcard and can listen to whatever is playing on your PC.

As far as actual recording goes, that is not what Jamcast does.

I hope this helps.

Thanks!
