About:
Loopback is a powerful virtual audio device that allows you to route audio between applications and hardware without physical cables. It creates virtual inputs and outputs that can be combined and routed to any application, making it ideal for complex audio setups. This tool is essential for podcasters, streamers, and audio professionals who need to capture and manipulate audio from multiple sources simultaneously.
Key Features:
  • Virtual audio cable functionality
  • Multi-source audio routing and mixing
  • Integration with popular recording and streaming software
  • Support for multiple virtual devices
Use Cases:
  • Recording audio from multiple applications simultaneously for podcasts or tutorials
  • Streaming gameplay with custom audio mixes including voice chat and game audio
  • Creating professional audio workflows for video production
Alternatives:
  • Audio Hijack – More focused on recording than routing, but offers similar audio capture capabilities
  • BlackHole – Free and open-source alternative with basic routing but lacks Loopback's intuitive interface
