The Mess Hall

I'm wondering if the best thing to do is get another sound card, one to handle skype only and pipe the audio back to the internal soundcard.

But then I need 2 mics, one for skype one for Sam broadcaster and handling the two is gonna be hard.

Any idea's anyone?

There is ways of doing it with 1 sound card,
i would have to look into it, But you can alter the setting on the Windows Sound or your Realtek sound card so the Software would use the PC's output sound,

So you would have One Mic in and your Line in would become the PC's output sound, So when when people call up it would come out the Output sound,

I used to do it ripping music live streams, and use the Default Windows Recorded to record the sound.


So all the sound that runs through the PC will be broadcasted,

The only things there is you will here the Windows Beeping so you would have to mute system sounds

OK I think I've finally got it working, I've installed an OLD but spare SB Audigy 2 ZS I had kicking around, but I've got left ear only on the Mic.

But SKYPE WORKS!!!!!

Broadcasting in mono fixes the left only channel for now.
Seems to add a little compression ie, distortion. Not much but it's there.

Broadcasting now if anyone wants to give me their opinion.

I'll do a music broadcast this afternoon @ 3pm, if anyone can volunteer a little bit of their time to testing the broadcast with conference calls, I'd really appreciate it.
I want to check bandwidth and call quality.

I'll be broadcasting in 64kb mono to keep the overhead down as much as possible.
