#RECORD SCREEN AUDIO LOOPBACK INSTALL#

One method you can use to accomplish this is to ?install and use the software package pavucontrol, which is available in the Debian repositories, by executing: # apt-get install pavucontrol This could be useful for screen recording sessions where you want to capture the audio as it is produced instead of just setting an external microphone next to your speaker. And if you found this guide useful I encourage you to share it with your Mom, she misses you and will probably make her happy hearing from you.Pulseaudio provides us with the means to easily create an audio loopback device that allows us to record sounds produced by our system as if they were being redirected into the microphone. If you want to check the streamings you may look them up on Youtube. We use web meeting apps such as Microsoft Teams and this tool has proven useful to provide good quality audio. In our case at Megsoft, we do interviews and some chit chats with popular personalities from the tech world. Now you can proceed with your streaming or recording as usual and the audio should reflect correctly from the app you configured. In this case вЂњTeams Audio deviceвЂќДЄfter we include the Audio Input Capture we can confirm the audio is being received from the Mixer tab We open OBS and to use the newly created virtual device we add a new Audio Input Capture from the Sources tab.ДЄnd from the dialog, we select the device we created by the name we gave it from the start. To create a new virtual device click the вЂњNew Virtual Device buttonвЂќ and follow the same steps as before.

You can remove or swap them at your own leisure.

These map the stereo outputs from the application audio to the output of the virtual device. Notice the blue lines that go from the Source to the Output Channels. After you select the app you will something like this: You can set the source to listen to either an audio device or any application like Skype, Zoom, Chrome, Spotify, etcвЂ¦ For this exercise, we are going to use Microsoft Teams. To select the application you want to listen to, click the plus (+) button next to the Sources header and choose the application from the list that appears. To rename the audio device you have to click the pencil button next to the audio device name. Next, we are going to rename the Virtual Device for the application we want it to listen to, in this case, IвЂ™ll name it вЂњTeams Audio DeviceвЂќ because I want to listen to Microsoft Teams Video Calls for interviews and such. To remove the Pass-Thru device select it and click the вЂњ DeleteвЂќ button below.
