GikoAudioStreams, #7

Want to stream audio on GikoPoi but stuck on Windows? Good news...it's possible and easy!

Just install Voicemeeter and Eartrumpet

Voicemeeter lets you create a fake speaker that also acts as a microphone. When the voicemeeter app is open, you can listen to media; when you pick voicemeeter as a microphone for Gikopoi, you'll broadcast whatever the speaker "listens" to.

Eartrumpet on the other hand, makes it very easy to tell programs what "speaker" to play their audio to, and you can also control the volume of the output. It lives down in your notifications tray as a speaker icon, next to your real speaker icon.

After you install voicemeeter, open Recording Devices and disable all Voicemeeter-related microphones except Voicemeeter Out B1 , and in Playback Devices disable all Voicemeeter-related speakers except Voicemeeter Input. This is done to minimize confusion. (I don't know why VM has so many microphones and speakers. it didn't used to!)

The easy way to find these controls is to right-click your eartrumpet and find them in the "Windows Legacy" menu.

open eartrumpet
open voicemeeter
tell whatever app to use VOICEMEETER INPUT as the speaker, using eartrumpet (in the notifications area)
- Make sure the "B" button is glowing green in "Virtual Input" and the "Virtual Input" bar is dancing from your app!
- Make the "A" button glow green for things you want to listen to on your speakers.
open stream on gikopoi, select VOICEMEETER B1 as the microphone
on voicemeeter you can also select (top right) what device you want to listen to its own content on (speaker, headphone, etc) on the top of the far-right column
when you're all done, in eartrumpet, set your applications to use your normal speaker again, and close voicemeeter
