Instead, it completely silenced anything sent through the virtual cable. Even the buffering feature designed with the express purpose of preventing this choppy lag failed. Literally nothing worked, and the lag only got worse. I tried all the fixes suggested, and even fiddled with some of the internal 'advanced' settings. I then googled the problem related to Virtual Audio Cable and discovered others had the same problem. I googled this problem related to Ventrilo and VLC, and tried all the solutions, but nothing worked. Every few seconds or so, the audio would lag and get choppy. In the example below, WDM Headphones is selected because we use a cable from the headphone jack to the external speakers.I recently bought this software after seeing it on alternativeTo, and created a virtual cable between VLC and Ventrilo, two latency-free applications, for anyone unfamiliar with them. Your students will be getting direct audio through this method so you don't need the speakers to be so close to the microphone. This leaves a better chance of the internal microphone to pick up your voice with the speaker being further away rather than the music being over powered by your laptop internal speakers. NOTE 2: Unless you're using an external microphone, we advise you to use external speakers so that you can position the speaker further away from your internal microphone on the laptop. You will need to choose the option that has the same label that was from your Windows Sound Settings from Step 2 above. NOTE: Also if you're having audio quality problems, instead of using the WDM version, you will want to use the MME version instead NOTE 1: Pay close attention to the label in the parentheses ( ) as there may be multiple options labeled speakers and headphones.

Select either WDM Speakers if you want the audio to be heard through the speakers built-in to your laptop computer, or WDM Headphones if you plan to connect external speakers via a cable from your headphone jack of your laptop computer. At the top right under Hardware Out, click A1
