Using VB Audio Virtual Cable to Send Audio from Zoom or MS Teams to LiveVoice

Overview

This guide explains how to use VB Audio Virtual Cable to route audio from any video conferencing software (such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams) into LiveVoice. This method allows interpreters to use only LiveVoice for their workflow, eliminating the need to run multiple programs side by side.

What Is VB Audio Virtual Cable?

VB Audio Virtual Cable is a software-based audio routing tool that creates a virtual audio device on your computer. This allows you to capture sound from one application (e.g., Zoom, MS Teams) and send it to another application (e.g., LiveVoice) as an audio input.

Why Use VB Audio Virtual Cable?

  • Seamless Audio Routing: Send audio from video conferencing software directly to LiveVoice without needing physical audio mixers.
  • No Extra Hardware: Everything runs digitally on your computer.
  • Universal Compatibility: Works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and any other video call software.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Download and Install VB Audio Virtual Cable

  1. Download VB Audio Virtual Cable from the official website:

    https://vb-audio.com/Cable/

  2. Extract the downloaded files and run the installer.
  3. Restart your computer after installation to ensure the virtual cable is recognized.

Step 2: Configure Audio Settings in Zoom/MS Teams

  1. Open your video conferencing app (e.g., Zoom, MS Teams, or Google Meet).
  2. Go to Settings > Audio.
  3. Change the Speaker (Output Device) to VB-Audio Virtual Cable.

This directs all audio from your call into the virtual cable instead of your regular speakers.

Step 3: Set Up LiveVoice to Receive Audio

  1. Open LiveVoice and go to the channel where you want to stream the call audio.
  2. In LiveVoice’s settings, select VB-Audio Virtual Cable as the Audio Input.

Optional: Combine with OBS for Video + Audio Streaming

If you want to stream both video and audio to LiveVoice, combine this setup with OBS Virtual Camera. See our guide: Using OBS Virtual Camera with LiveVoice

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

1. No Sound in LiveVoice

  • Ensure Zoom/Teams output device is set to VB-Audio Virtual Cable.
  • Check that LiveVoice is receiving audio from the correct input.

2. Echo or Feedback Loop

  • Make sure you are not listening to yourself in LiveVoice.

Conclusion

Using VB Audio Virtual Cable, you can easily route call audio from Zoom, MS Teams, or any video conferencing software directly into LiveVoice. This eliminates the need for extra hardware and simplifies the workflow for interpreters by allowing them to use only LiveVoice instead of managing multiple applications.
