Re: VAC Tutorial
Hi Scott
Your tutorial discusses ===>
"2.0 This document is divided into the following parts.
A review of the functional basics, rules and software limitations associated with the PowerSDR virtual audio interface.
Suggestions for testing and tuning system performance for real-time audio.
How to quickly setup a USB headset for use with PowerSDR.
Virtual PTT switching for virtual audio.
Latency: what it is and how to minimize it.
How to setup up Voicemeeter Banana and interface digital mode software audio streams.
Virtualizing CW operations.
Integrating Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software.
"
but I do not see anything about how one can plug a microphone into the computer running PowerSDR and
pipe the audio to a remote ANAN-200D/7000dle/etc using VAC1.
Is this possible ? My radio room in the shop gets down in the low 30's quite often in Winter and operating there gets
pretty uncomfortable!

Re: VAC Tutorial
Dick,
Yes, using VMB to route microphone and receiver audio was not covered in the tutorial, which is pretty basic. My radios live in a rack in the basement and I operate exclusively from my second floor studio office, i.e. I do exactly what you are seeking to. I will address your questions in your other thread--look there soon.

Scott

GM Scott
Many thanks for addressing this topic. It seems like every time I try something related to software applications changes
it ends up being a "tar-baby" where the problem just gets worse! Then I spend days getting something that worked
fine back in operation.
RF and circuit design is a comfortable arena for me but this computer stuff seems like fighting in a Vietnam jungle
I will look at what your next posting provides. Again many thanks for your SW-knowledge and dedication to growing
the SDR spirit in our Ham community.

Re: VAC Tutorial
I thought this facebook post by voicemeeter might be a useful reference.
"Let's remind the Voicemeeter internal audio routing diagram to explain how this is logical! Like for any hardware mixers you can get this map in mind: Audio comes from the top, then goes to the right by the BUS assignation buttons and finally goes down to audio outputs"

Re: VAC Tutorial
Tony -- Tony EI7BMB -- Many thanks for the detailed picture of Voicemeeter's signal routing.
VM and my computer have been playing well for me for quite a while now BUT sometimes I
have to resort to my detailed notes for all the settings in the WSPR/VM/Soundcard
configuration when everything quits working together.
73 and THANKS to everyone who turn on the 'light' in dark situations.

Re: VAC Tutorial
I've just installed voicemeeter potato 64 bit version and it seems to be working well so far.

My apologies, my website is down, the server had a major hardware failure, spare parts will not arrive until Monday.
Re: VAC Tutorial
My Thetis audio was fine since I was running voicemeeter as you suggested.
Recently it stopped working and I have no idea any more what went wrong. No more audio via ASIO... Did not change a thing. No more audio to or from Voicemeeter from Thetis. Can hear my own audio in voicemeeter.
classic VAC works OK.
Any tips? W10 updates related maybe ???

Start a new topic in the Digital (Virtual) Audio sub-forum, please, and we'll sort it out there rather than clog up the tutorial topic.

Re: VAC Tutorial
Scott,
I spent the afternoon working my way through setting up VAC audio through the PC using Voicemeeter/Banana.
'Love the quality of the sound through my high-end studio monitors.
Now, I am ready to set up microphone transmit using VAC. I have read your summaries and and those of W1AEX.
My goal is to use the EV RE-27 N/S microphone currently plugged into the front of my 7000DLE MK III. Nothing I have read tells me how to use a good dynamic microphone and transmit through a VAC. I am guessing that one way to do this is to run the RE-27 to the XLR jack on the back of an external sound card and from there to the line-in jack. Is there a way to instead utilize the PC's sound card? Is there a tutorial on this subject available? Thank you!

Re: VAC Tutorial
You are correct, you need an appropriate sound interface. Most folks use a pro style USB type. There's no tutorial per se, but this topic might get you going down the right road:
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4546
Start a new topic on this in the digital audio sub-forum of you need to.
