Talk:Virtual Audio Cable

Removal of uniqueness claim

I removed the phrase "VAC is unique in that" from the following sentence. It has been tagged with "citation needed" since March, and I believe that VAC is not actually unique in this regard; the documentation for Soundflower states that it also has this feature. --Tanner Swett (talk) 19:47, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

VAC is unique in that if more than one application is sending audio through an output virtual cable, it is able to mix all of the streams together or create separate corresponding virtual input cables.

i agree! VAC is definitely unique! no other Software is capable what VAC can do ! and it does its job since est. 1994 on Windows 3.11! and after all those modern Windows sound system restrictions its a MUST HAVE for any Audio/Music professional the only thing iam missing is a native ASIO port with latency report to the SW-host - so i have to use ASIO2KS in addition - and it works great in all kinds of setups over the years 93.129.61.53 (talk) 16:07, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

There's one other at least - and more confusingly, the name is identical. Or, the author just left the old stuff hanging around? But the contact name at the site I reference is different. It's kind of confusing. draeath (talk) 18:54, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Am I right that this software can't do the above? ?:( --Jangirke (talk) 16:37, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

There should be a section about similar alternate software

A lot of times an article like this will have a "see also" section about similar software with comparison tables, etc. (See Comparison of digital media players page for example.) I can't find that yet. So, here is some info to start with...

This is a page with some links to some other virtual audio cable software that runs on various OS's

This virtual cable is totally free to use and works great.

There is also a nice free mixer software on this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.27.99.22 (talk) 06:30, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

COI tag (August 2026)

An edoter who has been maintaining the page since 2015 at least appears to be the developer of page subject Walter using an LLM? Ego 09:45, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your attention to the issue.

If you need some proof that I'm the developer, please let me know what to provide.

I see you have also removed the section "Features". Was there any reason for that, or just accidentally?

I'm going to improve the article in the near future, adding some details about the implementation of the software, to explain some peculiarities. If you have any suggestions for the improvement, please tell me. Eugene Muzychenko (talk) 10:05, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

In general: See WP:COI. You shouldn't really edit this article at all. This might seem strange at first, since you're the person who knows the software best, but there are good reasons for this policy.

Regarding the removal of the "Features" section: That clearly wasn't an accident. The edit summary of Special:Diff/1369334947 was "Unsupported since at least 2015". See WP:V, in particular WP:BURDEN.

What Chrisahn said. - Walter using an LLM? Ego 13:38, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

The article was originally created by someone who used the software, but I only found out about its existence a few years later. Since then, I have made mostly technical changes (version number, release date, availability of the free version, etc.).

I try to maintain a neutral point of view, and agree that Wikipedia should not be used for advertising (I do not advertise my products purposefully at all).

The software is actively used, and I regularly see discussions and mentions in the communities. But for some reason, there were no users who wanted to maintain and improve the article.

What is needed in this case to avoid a conflict of interest? Will it be acceptable if I make technical changes to reflect the current state of the software? Eugene Muzychenko (talk) 16:33, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

You need to stop editing the article. Make edit suggestions on the article Talk page instead. - Walter using an LLM? Ego 16:43, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you, understood. Then what to do with other developers' attempts to promote their products on this page? Eugene Muzychenko (talk) 17:07, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

The same rules apply. We deleted the "Alternatives" section. I posted COI notices on the user talk pages. — Chrisahn (talk) 18:31, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

Virtual audio device software needs to be looked at carefully as well. I'm not certain that the sourcing for most of it is adequate. - Walter using an LLM? Ego 19:18, 14 August 2026 (UTC)
