About:
VB-CABLE is a virtual audio driver that functions as a digital audio cable. It allows you to route audio from any application's output directly into another application's input for processing or recording. This provides a seamless way to internally capture and manipulate audio streams without physical cables.

Key Features:

Zero-latency loopback for real-time audio routing
Supports up to 256 channels for complex audio setups
Simple plug-and-play installation without system reboots
Compatible with standard Windows audio protocols

Use Cases:

Streaming desktop audio to Discord or OBS without microphone capture
Recording internal audio from applications for tutorials or content creation
Routing audio from a media player into a DAW for analysis or remixing

Alternatives:

BlackHole – Open-source alternative specifically for macOS, offering similar loopback functionality
Audio Hijack – Mac-only tool with more advanced recording and routing features but at a cost
