Force Skype to use the older SILK protocol by removing support for the NGC protocol. There are two different ways to attempt to modify this default behavior.Ģ. This is supposed to be an improvement over the older SILK protocol. The newer Skype NGC protocol inhibits outside audio sources and noise by isolating the audio.

I don't know if there's a solution to this, but the bottom line is that Virtual Audio Cables are 'blocked' by Skype, and I'd really love to find a way to fix that. My default PC input won't work), which is annoying because this worked perfectly fine before, and now I'm forced to use a version that breaks it. Right now I have to use Skype to stream video, and another program to stream the audio (I'm not getting into it, but Downgrading to the version suggested worked, I had no more issues.īut now, Skype won't connect if I use that version, while the latest versions return to the issue of Skype 'canceling' my VAC audio input.

So I searched the issue, and I found this post:Ī Skype update had broken the VAC input for some reason, I wasn't the only one with the issue.

Then I tried on Discord, and the audio worked perfectly fine. VAC and Skype settings for hours, reinstalled both, and all the like. However, at one point, the audio stopped streaming correctly, mostly static, sometimes the audio coming through in a very muffled manner very briefly. You can download and try VAC from this site:Īnd for a small fee you can buy a license for the full-featured version.I use Virtual Audio Cable to stream my desktop audio in Skype calls, this used to work great. If you would like to listen to the audio, you can use VACs Audio Repeater to also pipe the virtual line to your computer’s audio output (headphones or speakers): Now you have created a audio pipe ”inside” your PC! Set the audio input line to the virtual line: Use the virtual line at destination software:įor decoding telemetry the first step is using a sound decoder, here Soundmodem. In this case I’m using SDR-Console V3 and choosing the virtual line as output. Use the virtual line from source software: I will describe the fastest way to get started with this program on Windows 10.Īfter installing VAC, the first thing you do is to set up a virtual line with the control panel. One of the best programs is Virtual Audio Cable (VAC). When using several softwares for satellite telemetry decoding it is essential that you have the possibility to move (pipe) the audio streams between the different programs.
