Re: Problems broadcasting



I'm really not sure - I've got a Realtek audio card built in to the
motherboard of my Vista machine. So in Sounds control panel, I'm
looking at the Recording (not Playback) tab.

Here's a few steps I had to do a couple of weeks ago, to record audio
from a screen capture of a flash movie on a hard to subvert website.

On there was originally only Microphone listed. Eventually I went to
try to disable it, because it was picking up audio and feeding it into
the recording. Right-clicked on the Microphone input and noticed a
checkbox for Enable, as well as "Show disabled devices" and "Show
disconnected devices".

When I chose Disabled devices I got to see the expected inputs = Line,
CD, Mono mix, Stereo Mix, Line in Aux 2 and so on.

My guess is your "mystery radio program" sends audio out to the
headphones / speakers through the sound card. That also ends up on the
Stereo Mix pin, and the Mono Mix pin, which are internal to the sound
card. You should be able to enable those devices, then in Encoder,
choose that as the input device for encoding and broadcasting.

Yes, failed to mention that didn't I =P.

I can't see anything like that in the sound control panel anyway...might it
be that I don't have Vista compatible drivers? I don't remember having ever
manually installed any. I just assumed they would have been part of the
windows updates, although you never quite know not seeing what Vista is
downloading.

I'm trying to set up a basic audio stream using some free radio automation
software I found. It's my understanding that you play the content in that,
encoder picks it up, encodes it and streams it when needed. The problem is
that the only option I get for audio on the setup is my Realtek HD Audio mic
input. Is this me being stupid, a flaw with Realtek drivers or something else?

You didn't mention the specific software, so it's hard to guess.

Isolating it to the WM Encoder interface and Realtek card, you should
be able to select several available inputs. On Vista, those inputs may
be marked as Disabled by default in the sounds control panel. They
won't appear as inputs for WME to choose from if they are.

So I guess the million $ question, are you using Vista ?
