How To: Stream Audio Live

When going live, Stickam can also be used to stream any audio coming from your computers speakers instead of your mic. This allows you to stream audio from any source on your PC or Mac.

PC Windows Method:

-Begin by playing some audio on your PC at your normal volume. This will help set up the input volume levels later.

    Hello

    i am trying to get this to work on my computer, but for some reason i dont seem to have the “stereo” section in my sounds and audio properties.

    I am using Win XP, with sound blaster X-FI and have just finished installing the sound card along with all the new updates.

    Its possible your soundcard doesn’t have support for Wav input. You can always try software like Virtual audio cable - http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.html

    I was trying to use Video AND Audio, but I was not getting sound from my camcorder microphone, NOR my regular mic. Video without audio!

    Help?
