Question / Help Virtual Audio Cable / Dfx enhancer

[brackex]

I'm trying to stream a game (in glorious HD due to how good OBS is on my CPU!)

However I use teamspeak to talk to people while playing.

I've seen a few posts on similar issues and am wondering if there is an easy way to just steam the game sound and not include teamspeak.

I tried the dfx audio enhancer trial but can't stream with a popup every half an hour.
Is there an opensource piece of software that does the same thing?

It's a popular request, but difficult to implement.. and one I'm not sure I can make the time to implement right now. There are workarounds, but none particularly that great unfortunately. Virtual audio cable is the most common but it's not free sadly, there are a few others such as using a second computer, but still, nothing easy, perhaps others could shed more light on it

you can use headphones if your sound card support outputting to those separately you can also use your monitors speakers if you're having it connected via hdmi and go with a digital audio output for teamspeak.

otherwise just buy dfx or torrent it.

If you're going to buy something, I'd recommend VAC over DFX personally. It's more powerful and specifically designed for audio device routing, whereas DFX is supposed to be a "sound enhancer" of some sort and the fact that it creates its own virtual device to accomplish this is a side effect. DFX happens to work, but VAC is the right tool.

they all work differently to accomplish it.

vac uses a recording device to repeat other sounds to the real playback device from the virtual playback while dfx uses an exe file with a controllable buffer.

in fact most software that does this are just another implementation adopted originally from vac's virtual driver.
