NEW! How to Connect OBS & Zoom w/ new Audio Routing Plugin

[@gregoryjwellls]

Thanks for this video and all the effort to communicate how to get this set up but for some reason, I couldn't get this to work without getting a feedback problem. I finally resolved this with the following setup. Maybe this can help some other similarly dimwitted people like me. First of all, I purchased and installed the A Cable and B Cable per your instructions I also installed the audio monitor 0.6.1 for OBS on Windows 1) in Zoom on my primary PC, I hosted a meeting 2) On an ipad (I also could have used a phone) I joined that meeting so I could test my results since the challenge is to get both my voice and the audio portion of a video to be audible to Zoom participants. ( Plugging in earbuds to this test device can help prevent artificial feedback loops) 3) In the primary Zoom session, on the audio popup (the up arrow by the mute/microphone icon in the lower left), select Cable A for the microphone and Cable B for the speaker 4) In the primary Zoom session, on the video popup (the up arrow by the vide icon in the lower left), select OBS virtual camera 5) open OBS 6) create a new scene by pressing the + in the lower left 7) add a new source for Mic/Aux, select your preferred microphone as the input. Next add an audio monitor filter for this source with the device set to Cable A 8) add a new media source as any local video file that also includes audio, add an audio filter and set the device to Cable B 9) right click on the Audio Mixer header and select Audio monitor if it's not already checked 10) Set the audio output slider in the Audio Monitor in the middle of the range 11) This is the basic configuration that worked for me

I was doing everything in the book to try and get zoom to take a mic input. Make sure you check your windows mic privacy settings. Fixed my issues after uninstalling everything then reinstalling

[@brucequinnplayground2114]

It seems like OBS could simply have a dedicated simple audio virtual output. In zoom, you would select obs (virtual) camera and obs (virtual output) audio. It would be a 15 second tutorial instead of 9 minutes. I agree, OBS gives you things you can’t do directly in zoom, like the compressor filter for audio, or the option inside the audio menu to delay the audio by 100 or 200 ms so that it sinks better with the video channel.

[@alvinbiblechurch344]

Every video I watch leaves out a dozen steps. I am absolutely frustrated. I would love a video on how to set up a guest interview with the ability to both watch a video and react to it all while recording it, without looping or double recording. But so far you guys are the most helpful.

[@seungsoojun4219]

Thank you for the information. I have one question. I'm trying to bring the feed from zoom, process it through OBS, and then stream it live FB. But what happens to the people in the zoom group? If A from the zoom is speaking, and we process it through OBS... one output will go to FB live and the other should feedback to zoom. Wouldn't that create feedback? Does it mean all the zoom participants need to use a headphone?

[@moyousef1438]

That's really cool! I wonder do I need to setup the audio as you described when I'm using a mixer with couple mics (mixer connection is USB). Thanks again

[@jasonmaki5025]

Great video. How do you recommend you getting the zoom audio to people sitting in a "audio setting". I could use a monitor out to a speaker, but that would create an echo. Any suggestions on in-ear wireless monitoring?

[@honzacaf]

Hi, I would like to know too. I am having issues with bringing the zoom into the room.

[@dises9393]

I run the last version of OBS (on a mac) and I have installed VC A + B. However, I cannot select Cable B in the preference/audio/ desktop audio of OBS. (I see cable B in the list of my audio sources elsewhere)

[@The_Rvndalorian]

same here, desktop audio is locked as disabled

[@The_Rvndalorian]

Awesome video, thank you! Where can i find the print out?

[@jasonlobell1340]

been using NDI virtual input for this workflow for my company for the last 9 months. Have you found a drastic difference in quality between NDI and the OBS Virtual Cam?

[@marcyoungblood5925]

Hello, thank you for this video. How would this work if I'm using an audio mixer in my OBS and Zoom set up for a church stream?

[@GodsFamilyChurchWinnipeg]

Thank you for this video. I'm just curious about this question. Singing together with people/team is presently bad with ZOOM when 2 or more people are unmuted because of audio lag or delay, is there any video conferencing software that solves this problem.

[@truthtv3156]

Thanks for the videos. Can you sow in a video how to connect OBS sound with Behringer audio mixer? To be able to monitor sound and send to Zoom as well as KZbin/Facebook.

[@linepoto]

I have Yorkville mixer. and this is what i did, do not need vb cables or ndi 1, connect your mixer to your laptop, 2, on lap top select usb codec as your virtual input out put. 3 , on OBS, set codec usb as ur audio in and out. 4, on zoom mic should be codec usb. crystal clear sound.

[@mgdacosta2]

Thanks Paul very useful information. For the window capture part though, in my head I am seeing a tunnel. So session recording would have to be done from zoom.

[@joetringali4884]

Same issue

[@mattchouinard9576]

When adding the Audio Monitor filter on a mic that I want to send to Zoom, where should I place the filter in the processing chain? At the top or the bottom? Guessing at the bottom after all noise gate/eq/compressor/gain job is done right? Can't find that answer anywhere!! Thanks and great vids!

[@pdavis4853]

Great video!!! One question: We have an external USB input device from our sound board. How do I separate that and zoom audio? I am still a noob and need help.

Great video and training. Can one use Stream Deck to set-up the correct OBS and ZOOM settings at the push of a button?

[@lgf30022]

Just what I needed to understand. Thank you. One more item to consider. I also have a Blackmagic ATEM mini pro. I want to add that into this flow as well. I think the audio plugin and virtual audio cables will make this work.

[@JorgeSilvestrini]

Hey Lee, couldn't you do everything inside of the ATEM mini pro and then send that output to Zoom? I'd probably want to use 1 switcher, in this case the hardware, so think like a couple of cameras to Atem, audio to Atem, OBS or ProP to Atem for graphics, lower 3rds, etc and then the output of Atem to zoom...

[@lgf30022]

@@JorgeSilvestrini always a possibility. The ATEM can be a HW encoder/streaming engine too. So that offloads computer. Lots of cool possibilities! Still in learning mode but working out my workflow.

[@JorgeSilvestrini]

@@lgf30022 I totally love the ATEM mini pro and they JUST released a new version if I'm not mistaken. Lots and lots of possibilities. Congrats on your choice!

[@GDBOYFilms]

Thanks! I just needed one cable and it worked great. Appreciate the tutorial.

[@StreamGeeks]

Great to hear!

[@SusilRatnasekara]

How do you connect an analog audio mixer into this setup? Line in and line out?

[@neil8496]

Hi Paul, Thanks for the update above. This method seems to require you to add the new 'monitor output' filter to EVERY sound you have on OBS you want to send to Zoom. Seems a lot of work AND I've got so many sounds/jingles/music I want to send to Zoom but also I wouldn't want the monitor output filter to interfere when I am not sending to Zoom. Can't we just send over mic AND 'system sounds' together? Thanks

[@englishwhynot]

Hi Neil Bird. Interesting question. Things have moved on in a year and now we're on version 29 of OBS. Did you get a reply to your question?

[@lawerencemchugh5816]

Hi Paul, Great video You show Cable-A Input and Cable-A Output connections but you only show Cable-B Input I cannot see where you show Cable-B Output - Is that set in Windows?

[@johncheatdom9409]

Hi, good video. What is the best way of doing this using one cable? Also, when I send video from OBS to Zoom via the virtual camera the quality of the video really decreases hugely, is there any way to sort this issue out? Thanks again

[@samsonmasebinu5734]

Thank you very much. Which microphone (voice of the host) is Zoom using? is there a separate microphone input in OBS that feed to Zoom

[@JorgeSilvestrini]

Hey Samson, this is why he setup the virtual audio cable. Zoom is getting the microphones from virtual audio cable 1 via OBS. And then the second virtual audio cable is sending the audio from Zoom back to OBS.

[@drewbsn]

for me on 21.0.1 on mac I had to do it a bit differently I think to get OBS audio to feed to zoom - in OBS click the settings wheel next to an audio device, advanced audio, set to monitor or monitor/output (turn on monitor, I didn't have a filter option to do this.) Then in general obs settings at the bottom right of the whole obs window, audio tab, advanced - monitor device set to VB-cable.

[@cgarrett1906]

THIS is the comment I needed to see! Thank you!

[@glenjxnjackson]

Appreciate this! Asking if you can show me how go route the audio to FB live as I'm using the OBS virtual camera there but no sound. Help pls! Thabsk in advanced

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

Hey I tried this and I cannot get the OBS virtual camera to show up as an option for me in a zoom meeting. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to change a setting or do I need to install a plugin or something?

[@gcmdigital]

With NDI tools you do not need virtual cables or the virtual camera of Obs. Audio and video go simply through NDI input.

[@cpamajed]

Yes I tried NDI Tools and I think its a better approach.

[@edwinjonah]

It's definitely easier to set up, but in my experience I've had a lot of stutters and volume issues with NDI. To be fair, I've also experience distortion with virtual cables.

[@TheInsideCabin]

@@edwinjonah I have had good luck with NDI. No issues

[@edwinjonah]

@@TheInsideCabin Good to hear. Not sure if my issue is with NDI itself or something else, I've tried routing through virtual cables to OBS and then output that through NDI with the stutter. Also tried virtual Voicemeeter inputs instead of the cables and still the same stutters when outputting through NDI.

[@TheInsideCabin]

@@edwinjonah I tried using the virtual cables but got terrible echos. I am now only using NDI with much better results. I record my ZOOM calls with ZOOM as opposed to sending the audio back to OBS, but I found I can get audio into ZOOM either directly - bypassing OBS altogether for the audio, or using the NDI Link. I quit using the virtual cables for my applications.

[@NickRainsPhotography]

The Speaker view in Zoom seems to go out at 360p by default - this is the “webcam input” view. Screen sharing is much better, but how do you get around this low res limit in the Speaker View. 360p looks very poor!

[@baolinhnguyentran6869]

I have the same question :))). So I usually do sharing full screen preview and have trouble with cpu later, Hope that u can read this cmt :)))

[@GaryWold]

I've been using OBS for a year or so. Zoom yer YEARS. I Use VoiceMeeter Banana for my audio. I'm happy to see the new audio plugin. I'll give that a try. We have live zoom meetings where we review lots of text and web pages where the viewers listen and follow along. We present from computer "A" send NDI screen capture 2560x1440 to Computer "B," which runs OBS and hosts the Zoom meeting using the OBS Virtual Camera plugin as the Zoom input. Zoom screen sharing directly from Zoom has always looked pretty good, but now that I use OBS with the virtual camera plugin, guests in the live Zoom meeting have complained. The zoom recording used to look good at 1080. Now zoom only records 360. Thankfully I started recording in OBS and zoom, so I have the full-res recording from OBS. Is there a way to make Zoom see the OBS output (2560x1440 full screen) as a document camera? This is really needed. Many Thanks!

[@lachleerpodcast644]

great video but I work with NDI to connect OBS to zoom or skype. So I was wondering what are the benefits of the solution presented here?

[@techwrightauto]

I'm hoping someone is going to test and find lower latency.... Keeping my fingers crossed 🙂

[@lachleerpodcast644]

@@techwrightauto yes, I am hoping for lower CPU usage and latency

[@richardmartin5234]

Thanks so much for this video!! I went through all of the steps and it's working great in zoom. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to monitor the audio I'm sending to zoom. I have total silence on my computer. What am I doing wrong?

[@reypamtadifa]

This is amazing! I just have a question regarding global audio devices in the OBS settings... desktop audio is disabled and doesn't show any devices. I have both VB Cable A and B installed. Is there a step that I missed? Thank you in advance!

[@Gadgetmonkey]

Me too - did you ever find a work around?

[@svtay23]

Me too. I'm still waiting for Paul to answer your (our) question.

[@kamalranatunga]

This is great. But one thing to point, if you have a USB mixer you might not need to go through Audio cable A and B. Can you clarify ?

[@JudahKibalama]

Brilliant Video!! Gna try that out but when I capture screen display will the subjects be still or moving in real time..i know silly question

[@kfwebvideo]

Great video. Do you still need Voicemeeter to monitor the audio going to zoom?

[@kfwebvideo]

Sorted. Went into audio advance audio properties settings on the OBS audio mixer for the audio source to monitor and changed audio monitoring from 'Monitor off' to Monitor and Output'. Thanks for your really helpful videos.

[@btechstuff]

Great video. Do you have a video on setting up an in-ear monitor through OBS?

[@TheRealityTwister]

This is great both I have a question. I have my mic coming in as a source and a loopback channel that plays music, etc etc. Now I setup a 2nd channel for my OBS output going to zoom. The issue is in my AirPods I not hear my voice double :(. Please help.

[@grantsvoicevo]

What is the "Optics OBS Controller" I see running? Nice vid btw!

[@darkfool58]

how do you stop your mic echoing back into your speakers? is it as simple as turning off monitor and output?

[@Yz316]

Please tell me how to set the OBS and Zoom after I use the X32 mixer monitor output to connect to the atem mini. Thanks!

[@harvymckiernan93]

Hi, thankyou for sharing this. I'm now s little confused. I'm succesfully using the NDI plugin which seems better latency wise, as it's controlled by the output as opposed to monitor side in my logic. I've seen you do several presentations now with both methods( Ndi and virtual a/b). So which is the overall best & most reliable method to date? Secondly, this new audio monitor, what advantages are we gaining here, because you're not replacing NDI or Virtual A/B with it??

[@TheDannyVegaShow]

i definitely want to know the answer to this

[@SquawkTradeFX]

Thanks for your reply. Will this allow for the desktop audio, such a music source or sound effects to be routed to zoom as well?

[@gdrumz4591]

Is there a way I could get in touch with you? Im trying to follow these instructions in your video but since I have newer versions OBS some things are different and I'M stuck 🥺

[@marcelschechter]

Brilliant. Thanks so much. Nikon and USB-mic perfectly in sync for Zoom & Co. Why don't these guys add a function like this to their programs? ;-) In a lot of cases with photo cameras and HDMI the audio simply is FASTER than the image. I had to delay my audio by 250 ms ...

[@laizadantas8039]

Hey guys! Really good tutorial! I have it all working here very well! The only thing is: how can I mute my mic for people no t to hear me on zoom? Muting it on Zoom does nothing, while muting the sound slider on OBS also doesn't. Do you have any tips on this matter?

[@StreamGeeks]

Muting it in Zoom will work

[@FGauth]

Superb. Do you have a solution to suppress echoes when using a sound control for an amphitheater? Indeed, I speak into microphones so that I can be heard in a lecture hall and I retransmit the sound through a scarlett to usb via OBS. But I also take the sound of zoom speakers that I plug into the sound control in order to hear them in the amphiteater... at a minimum, the speakers hear himself in echoes, and sometimes there is some larsen... Can we manage through virtual Cable Thank you.

[@iralee1957]

Thanks for the video. I've been using OBS, VoiceMeeter Banana and Virtual A-B cables to broadcast to Zoom with much complication. I want to eliminate VoiceMeeter and only use this new Audio Routing Plugin because it looks much easier. What's the best way to accomplish this?

[@malcolmbacchus866]

Struggling a bit. Trying to play a video/audio clip to Zoom. OBS plays the video fine but not the sound. You say select the Cable in "Filters" but if I click on the [Audio Mixer] setting button for the relevant clip, and select [Filters] I get a three part screen with a box for [Audio/Video Filters] on the left, a box for [Effects Filters] below that and a large grey panel totally blank (not like you show) on the right. What I think I have to do, by experiment, is go into [Advanced Audio Properties ]and turn [Audio Monitoring] on as well. I think that is right, but I couldn't see that being done in your video?

[@dojoge]

You start with a Zoom meeting already in OBS. Do you have a video that gets me to that point? Thanks!

[@TedLester]

Great video! Just bought the virtual cables, and I have a couple of questions: 1. The Default Virtual Cable sample rate and bit depths are: Cable A & B Playback Input: 2 Ch, 24 bit, 48000 Hz Cable A & B Recording Output 2 Ch, 24 bit, 44100 Hz (Studio Quality) Should I change this in Windows Sound to the 16 bit, 48000 Hz settings that I use for gear associated with Zoom and OBS? 2. Have you found any way to take advantage of Zoom's enabling background images for people who don't have green screens? This process happens downstream of other software I route my webcam's video through, like Logitech Capture, and I would like to use it with OBS once your connections are enabled. Or does OBS have a similar plug-in to provide this capability?

[@jeffseip8240]

I am using OBS to send our church service out to Zoom and FBLive. I record the service on Zoom and FB. Is there a way to prevent the Zoom audio from the participants from being picked up by the Zoom and FB recordings? I use a separate computer to monitor Zoom so I don't need any audio coming into the church computer other than the churches microphones and music inputs that we use to send the service out.

[@workwithdarvin]

Hello, do you have a video setting up from the start like selecting the mic and speaker, because there is nothing i could hear when selecting VB Cable :(

[@tpelogol3245]

Is it possible to add a song in OBS itself and have it go through virtual cable while I can hear it aswell from OBS on my speakers?

[@alnoormeralli]

I've been waiting for such a video to come out demonstrating this new plug-in. I have been taking a similar approach in OBS to get my audio to Zoom/Meet by way of Settings> Audio> Advanced> Monitoring Device=VirtualCableInput, and then setting individual audio sources under Advance Audio Properties to "Monitor and Output" to aggregate the audio. The plug-in feels like less of a workaround than my approach. As an aside, I have tried the NDI approach instead of virtual cables, but it did not work for me. The audio quality and signal strength dropped too much. Gave up after hours of troubleshooting.

[@StreamGeeks]

Yes, I agree on the NDI side of it. Why use the network when everything is already on the same computer. This new plugin really makes the solution ideal.

[@apad3252]

Hi! What is your microphone on your head? Thanks

[@outofsite_chi9847]

This is fabulous and you mentioned you can then stream to FB or youtube. Would you recommend connecting the streaming connection from zoom to (in our case) twitch or OBS to twitch? For our purposes we are going to twitch for a night of live performance.

[@fpdrum]

many thanks for this tutorial, the monitoring and output function was already exist in advanced proprieties inside avery single audio source and you can enable and connect to loopback or virtual cable, are there any differences with this setup? I think it's the same thingh in terms of latency or routing, correct me if I'm wrong

[@StreamGeeks]

One major difference is the audio delay feature someone mentioned. Also, using the audio monitor output does not work with audio delay. So this should work with audio delay when needed. But also, you can still use OBS with your normal audio monitoring and just select a few sources to send back to Zoom

[@fpdrum]

@@StreamGeeks thanks, in my specific use, first: I need to send audio from cubase to OBS (I do that perfectly by using loopback), second: I need to send my entire stream (audio and video) from OBS (that already have cubase audio as source) to zoom, in order to do that I use virtual cam (for video) and another instance of loopback that route audio from OBS, now thanks to your tutorial I can use this new monitor plugin, and connect it to loopback new instance with obs as source, is it correct?

[@martinhanson4342]

Thanks for the video. I tried to set this all multiple times over the last almost two years. Each time I spend about 4 hours meticulously following your instructions and have never been able to make it work. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted, reconfigured, re--etc. Still no luck. I'm an engineer, so I ought to be able to get this to work. My conclusion at this point is that my hardware (one a Dell and the other a Lenovo) are both incompatible with the solution presented here. Has anyone documented any incompatibilities? I have had to resort to using SplitCam which I can make work adequately, but obviously it lacks most of the OBS features I am trying to use.

[@martinhanson4342]

So when I reboot my machine when I go to Zoom, the Cable A/B for microphone are listed as Outputs, not Inputs and the Cable A/B for speaker are listed as Inputs. That's opposite from your video instructions. I can only correct this by uninstalling Cable a/B, and rebooting. However at the next reboot they are reversed again.

As an FYI for folks, if you want to be able to control source volume in OBS, you need to check the radio button labeled "Volume linked to source volume," and select "Linked to source muting" in the "Mute" selection. ‎ Having said that, I'm having an issue where the video I'm playing on KZbin (or any desktop audio) seems to be bypassing this entirely, and I can't seem to mute or control the volume. I can control my microphone's volume though.

May Ask this...I teach instruments, I have OBS going to Zoom. I have a Samson Mic plugged into my laptop, my headphones are plugged into the mic. I would like to use my Rhode wireless Mic instead, but when I plug it into my laptop using the USB as I have seen suggested, I lose all sound coming out of my laptop. Also, I am confused about how to use my headphones as well. Is there a way I can use the Rhode wireless and my headphones and be able to hear my students? Also, one other question if I may? With my current setup, all my students are saying they can hear me great and my instruments, but every single one of my students, no matter what the instrument is they are playing, cuts out so bad I can barely hear them play, yet when they talk, I hear them fine.

How would you import individual camera feeds from your Zoom guests into obs as separate sources therefore you could place Andrea size a guest camera feed anywhere within the OBS screen I know it can be done I've seen it done before it's just it seems like nobody seems to know how it's done

[@HenryJablon]

It does really Sound very much less complicated now. Just one question though. I quite followed through with routing audio/video to Zoom and back to OBS. How do you monitor/hear the sound coming back into OBS on your computer speaker or on an external speaker connected to the PC? Will that automatically go to the speakers or is there an additional setting in OBS? FYI I am using Bose T4S as my sound card/audio source [into OBS] for all my audio - dj controller and mics.

[@titiwz77]

Add another audio monitor filter to the audio input source in your OBS which is capturing the audio from zoom.. Set the device properties of that second audio monitor filter you have just added to your speaker device and that's it... You can rename that second audio monitor filter to your speaker device for easy referencing..

[@williamhalimi]

Thanks for such interesting Obs + zoom configuration. I have one comment and one question : 1/ I have after number of Obs + zoom meetings some doubts on Obs virtual cam video quality & real resolution.

Hi there! 2Qs 1) When I go to source/add - and pick video capture - what is the difference between the FaceTime Camera option and the Virtual Camera option? If I click FT Camera - I see myself as my Mac's web cam is activated. When I click on the VC option, I get the blue screen and OBS logo and a camera icon, and this oddly fades to black (!?) What is the difference between picking FT and the Virtual Camera? 2) When I click display capture to record my Zoom output, it appears in my OBS window and there's a loop of infinity. I have two monitor but it isn't 'using' the second monitor. How do I tell either Zoom/myMac/OBS to put the capture outside of the OBS active window? Is it a reboot/extend display thing? As you can see I"m a beginner!

I have a media source movie, an introduction jingle. Cant hear it anymore, although it shows its playing. The output into the Yeti headphones seems to be the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello. A question Why Big zoom meeting is a Multimedia Source Mp4 and not a Window Capture, How we can do that?

Question: I’m using Rode Connect as my mic system for OBS with Zoom! I can get sound into Zoom, but I cannot hear the speaker test back into OBS! This is not the case when I use the Rodecaster Pro, but with Connect I cannot figure out the configuration? Any quick fixes you can suggest?

How can I make that Zoom Window Capture into a media source so the audio monitor filter will be available in the options? Thanks...

[@CadmielCastillo]

Thanksssss man!!! This was very helpful!!

[@StreamGeeks]

Glad to hear it!

[@BobbySlaughter_Kaizen]

Always great content, especially on NDI and Zoom. Thank you. One question though, what in-ear system do you use? Thank you again!

[@StreamGeeks]

We are using a system called VocoPro

Now, Cable A from OBS to zoom and cable B from obs to zoom.. How about monitor without a lag to the participants sitting in the same studio ???? Using Mg10xu mixer and using mics input for 2 or 3 participants and a scarlet i2i. How to connect monitor to the participants headset who are sitting in the studio to talk and listen without a milli second delay .

I'm a little confused. You used VB Cables (free) in the video, but then link and recommend Loopback (a $99 software) in the description. Is there a different video using Loopback? Or should we stick with VB Cables...?

[@StreamGeeks]

Just stick with the free virtual audio cables.

How did you get the cool looking circle countdown?

[@mountainnatureandculture4022]

Is it possible to use the NDI virtual Input for the audio to Zoom, and/or camera as we do in vMix?

[@tamartajj]

It works well for videos with only talking but once music is included its muffled can you offer assitance

Hello there thank you for the tutorial. I just have a question on how to correctly implement this use case: using Mac for Android phone calls. My current setup seems wrong because there are echos from both the one im calling and also in my side. My current setup: - a USB sound card is connected to my macbook - an audio splitter is connected to my android phone -phone's mic is connected to my sound card's speaker port through 3.5mm cable. And phone's speaker is connected my sound card's mic through 3.5mm cable OBS Setup: - USB Sound Card (phone) as Audio Input Source -> Audio filters to my earphone - My earphone as Audio Input Source Audio filters to USB Sound Card (phone) with this setup, i can hear and speak through my Mac and the one im calling can hear me ok. but the problem is, i can hear my voice echoing in my earphone and my caller can his voice echoing as well I understand why because the current setup has like.a circular dependency. Is there any other setup i can try to achieve this without echo?

thanks very much for this, almost exactly what I need except I don't need to record the audio from zoom so don't need A+B cables. However, I am mightily confused because I cannot mute the microphone. I have a Logitec Group conferencing speaker/microphone/camera and just get microphone output to zoom (zoom input is vCABLE output) no matter what I do except if I turn it down in the filter setup dialog. But that is no use during a live blended meeting, too many clicks to get to it. I have a scene that captures the video being shown on a dataprojector, VLC plays the video with audio out to the Group speaker (for local viewers). I capture that audio and reroute to the cable input so it also gets sent to Zoom, however, the microphone is still live even though no device in the scene even uses it as an input. What am I doing wrong?

[@DavidtheSwarfer]

I figured it out, you have to link the volume to the source and if you want muting you have to link that as well.
