Use skype with shoutcast

[DanishBulldog]

Hello,

Yes i know there are alot of topic, with the precise same question, but it would be best for me to do it in this way.

I know you can talk in the radio, and in skype at the same time, so both voices get streamed.

But i cant figure it out..
As i understand it, you need to open the dj plugin in winamp, go to inputs, then soundcard input.

But nomather what i do, it is what the mic catch, which gets streamed.
And i need my voice + the voice in skype..

I really hope you understand my problem, and i hope one of you out there wanna help me with thise.

thx

you need to configure the recording mixer.

this tutorial may help.

if it doesnt then come back with the soundcard make and what options are on the recording mixer.

hopefully its not a soundmax card or we can give up straight away.

I'll look at the tutorial right away..
And it is a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio soundcard )

[DanishBulldog]

Hmm..
When i have done what the tutorial (exept in my mixer, there isnt a "wave"..), it still just record what my microphone records..

Do you think you could help me better, if you got a screenshot?

[Nick@ss]

if you cannot see all the options in the recording mixer you may need to check the properties and make them avalable by selecting them.

I have wave in playback, but not in recording

[Nick@ss]

[DanishBulldog]

It is still not working
And i dont have wave in my recording.. maybe it is because of that?

Btw, StreamSolutions.co.uk, those servers, in which country are they?

[Nick@ss]

as mentioned above if there are options you cannot see in the recording mixer goto properties and enable them.

We offer servers in the USA / UK / EU.

[DanishBulldog]

Yeah.. i have tried that, but there isnt a wave in properties either

I have an X-Fi as well and I do not have these options. I know for a fact that I am using drivers that shipped with the product, and I bought it when it first came out.

I am going to guess that nick has updated the drivers and that this is the cause for the discrepancy?

[Nick@ss]

yep i always use the latest drivers.

pop over to the creative site and do an update.

If you want to do this for real in a way where it will actuly sound good your best bet is not to do it this way. If you do it in the way stated it will work but you will get echos. What I do and what any of the djs in my stations do now cause of my instruction is get a second computer dosnt have to be any great thing just strong enough to run skype. Take the speaker out on that computer and hook it up into a sound board. Hook your mic into the sound board and hook up a second mic to the second computer. Then run the sound out from your sound board into the mic in on the main computer. Then when you have guest on air you do the skype ont he second computer pot up the channel on your soundboar that the second computer is pluged into and you have one input on the main computer and both channels with no echo. and you can control the volume with the sound board of yourself and them sepratly. Its a bit pricy for the upgrading but you will have the best sound quality with this and best yet NO ECHO from the stearo/what you hear mix.
