How to Use Obs Studio Virtual Audio Cable

Are you tired of dealing with multiple audio sources in your stream? Do you want to separate your game audio and voice chat from each other? Look no further than Obs Studio's Virtual Audio Cable (VAC) feature.

In this article, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process of setting up a VAC in Obs Studio. We'll also provide some additional information on why using a VAC is beneficial for your streaming experience.

Why Use a Virtual Audio Cable?

A Virtual Audio Cable allows you to separate different audio sources from each other and then control which ones actually get fed into your stream. This can be especially useful if you have a producer that you don't want your stream to hear, or if you just don't want your rowdy friends over Discord to be picked up by your stream.

Setting Up a Virtual Audio Cable in Obs Studio

To set up a VAC in Obs Studio, follow these steps:

1. Make sure your iOS device is disconnected and the Camera app closed.

2. Launch Obs Studio and go to the 'Audio' settings.

3. Click on the 'Virtual Audio Cable' dropdown menu and select 'Create New Virtual Audio Cable'.

4. Name your virtual audio cable (e.g., 'Game Audio') and set the sample rate and bit depth to match your system's settings.

5. Click 'OK' to create the virtual audio cable.

Using Your Virtual Audio Cable

Once you've created a VAC, you can use it to separate different audio sources from each other. For example, you can use it to send your game audio to one track and your voice chat to another.

To use your VAC, simply select the audio source you want to use (e.g., 'Game Audio') as the input for your stream. Then, select the virtual audio cable as the output device for that audio source.
