Virtual Cables

Does create virtual audio cables.

Virtual Cables from DAC

Virtual Cables from DAC makes audio routing between compatible DACs, audio interfaces, and Windows audio devices easier to understand and control. The application detects available hardware loopback, return, and Stereo Mix endpoints, pairs their inputs and outputs, and presents them in a clear table. Active pairs are temporarily renamed to names such as “Audio Kabel One Input” and “Audio Kabel One Output,” making them easier to identify in recording, streaming, communication, and music applications. Features include: Automatic detection of compatible loopback and return endpoints Clearly named input and output pairs Support for compatible DACs and general audio interfaces Optional routing of physical audio inputs Multiple cable pairs when independent hardware returns are available Built-in start, stop, and restoration controls Automatic restoration of original device names No additional virtual audio driver required Runs without administrator privileges The number of available cable pairs depends on the connected audio hardware and the independent loopback or recording endpoints exposed by its Windows driver.
