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.

-Right Click the volume control in your menu bar.
-Choose, Adjust Audio Properties.

-In the “Sounds and Audio Devices Properties”, Click the Audio tab.
-Make sure Sound Playback Default device and Sound Recording default device are the same.
-Click the Volume button under the “Sound Recording” section.

-Select “Stereo Mix” as your input.
-Lower the input volume at first so your audio input isn’t too loud.

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.
Can you please help??
Thank you in advance

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 have a question. I’m trying to use my live chat however it keeps putting my web cam and my mic on. I only want the audio, not the web cam.

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?
