Using Zoom to demo JamKazam on Win10

[Dimitri Muskens]

Thus far, the only way I have been able to get audio to Zoom has been to have a separate computer running JK using the default playback only profile and zoom running.  Share the screen and computer audio and you can hear the audio through the zoom meeting.  If I use any of the other audio gear profiles, no audio through zoom.  

I have been trying to use the VB-audio.com virtual cables to route audio from zoom to Jamkazam and back so that I can interact with people in the zoom meeting from jamkazam, but the audio gear setup always fails the virtual cables, generally due to the i/o rate.  Has anyone found some other way to route the signal from JK into other programs and back?

Most definitely, on both MAC (BlackHole) and WIN10 (VB-cable/voicemeeter*), just not with Zoom ... .

So are you saying that neither of these will route JK audio into Zoom?

Nope, I'm not.
It will work, just not very well and most definitely not in sync.
There are actually several manuals/walk throughs on the webs to route audio into Zoom. The return path and the sync issue seems to be the biggest obstacle.

But JKz being a platform/app developed for musicians to play together remotely and Zoom being a chat/meeting app, they sure have a different need/use/target audience. Why would you want to combine the two?

I want to combine the two in my case for a sung church service -- a quartet of singers on Jamkazam, also on the zoom call wtih no audio on.  Route audio from Jamkazam to Zoom so that people hear the in sync audio (i'm not really worried about the lip sync being off).  Also wanting to route audio from Zoom back to Jamkazam so that we can interact with folks who have joined us before and after the service.

We have been able to do a make work version by having someone serve as broadcast hub, connect to jamkazam with default audio / playback only, and then do a screen share of a Jitsi window with the 4 of us in the Jitsi call.  

I have been unable to get the VB Audio virtual cables to pass Jamkazam i/o rate test on a PC.  I have just gotten Blackhole to work for the audio routing in both directions on a Mac.  Are there settings in the VB audio cables that will increase the i/o rate?  If so, please share!

I would use Voicemeeter, not VB-Cable.
