The install is straight forward, and I won't bog you down with screenshots of it. I settled on VB-CABLE, which is "donationware" and did it's job amazingly well. In effect this is an audio device driver which allows you to "plug" sources in to an input and then have your target software listen to the matching output. The solution, or at least the one I ended up settling on, is a virtual audio cable. This makes sense, if it did transmit your system sounds and someone else talked you'd end up with terrible echo and feedback.īut what if you do want, or even need, to let others here system sounds? Grab a (Virtual) Audio Cable Skype for Business only takes your microphone and ignores the other system sounds on your computer. only to be told in chat that they couldn't hear it.

The first time I realised this, I was in the middle of an "alarm clock" demo and I was making a joke about subjecting the audience to an annoying ringing noise. A large part of toasts are their sounds and I've been struggling with this when doing demos via Skype for Business.


One of my main PowerShell projects is BurntToast, a module for generating toast notifications. Name it whatever you want and save it.As with a lot of things I blog about, I don't know how many other people have found themselves looking for solutions to this particular problem. but once you got the fx chain you want, it needs to be on VB cable in order to digitally route) which can be useful for tweaking your plugin settings. (if you set it to your speakers/audio interface/headphones/etc. If your interface's buffer size is 128, then it needs to be 128 in Reaper (or in ASIO4ALL if that's what you're using) If your interface/mic's sample rate is 44100, then it needs to be 44100 in Reaper, You want to keep the settings of your audio interface/mic equal to the these same settings in the DAW. (it's always going to be your hardware as the source. Reaper's Input: Your Microphone/Interface Which audio driver to use: WASAPI? DirectSound? Asio4All (download it online free)? Whichever gets the job done and puts out the audio quality you want. If Reaper isn't active, it'll just use your regular mic as the default instead.

Set VB Cable as your default input and default communication device in Windows. You don't necessarily need Voicemeeter or a VST Host like Cantibile to do this. So many guides online either overcomplicated it or gave unclear instructions so I made my own.
