How
to broadcast sounds to justin.tv, singsnap.com or Skype.
Virtual Audio Streaming can act as a virtual
microphone, which means you can play audio files as if the voice is
from your real microphone. Normally, chat software such
as Skype, Live Messenger and broadcasting websites such
as justin.tv only let you use the real microphone to input your
voice. However, with Virtual Audio Streaming, you can stream
pre-recorded voice files or music to those software and
sites.
First, you need to set Virtual Audio Streaming as the
system default sound playback/recording device.
You can do this by clicking the 'set virtual audio streaming as
the default sound
playback device' button in Virtual Audio Streaming.
