Configuring VB-CABLE for Virtual Cable on Mac

Are you looking to use VB-CABLE as a virtual cable on your Mac? Look no further! This article will guide you through the simple process of installing and configuring VB-CABLE on your Apple device.

The first step is to open the Settings window on your Mac. You can do this by clicking on the Apple logo in the top-left corner of the screen and selecting 'System Preferences.' Alternatively, you can use Spotlight search to find and open the Settings app.

Once the Settings window is open, scroll down to the bottom and select 'Sound Control Panel.' This will open a new window where you can manage your audio settings.

In the Sound Control Panel, click on the 'Output' tab and select 'CABLE Input (VB-Audio Virtual Cable)' from the list of available devices. This will configure VB-CABLE as an output device on your Mac, allowing you to redirect audio from this program to Web Captioner.

Next, you'll need to install the VB-CABLE audio output device and input device on your computer. To do this, open Sound Settings by pressing the Windows key (or Command key on a Mac) and typing 'Sound Settings' in the search bar. Select the Sound Settings app from the results to open it.

If you see a Windows Security message pop up, select 'Install' again to confirm. This will install the VB-CABLE audio output device and input device on your computer.

Once installed, right-click on the VBCABLE_SETUP_4 file and select 'Run as Administrator.' This will allow you to extract the contents of the file.

Finally, if you need Web Captioner to caption both this program's audio and your microphone at the same time, see our article on captioning audio from another program and your microphone at the same time. Otherwise, follow these instructions to configure VB-CABLE as a virtual cable on your Mac.

Remember that Web Captioner can only listen to audio coming from a microphone, so you'll need to reroute audio from another program into a microphone input if you want it to caption multiple sources simultaneously.
