Audio in from phone?
Posted: Mon Apr 06, 2020 7:48 pm
Hello,
Firstly, thank you for allowing me to join the forums. I am a part-time local radio presenter with an online station and I am looking to continue doing so from home. I have no experience of using Voicemeeter but have managed so far to setup a USB microphone and the Voicemeeter VAIO fader allows me to adjust the volume of the music playing through my computer, which is perfect.
I’m trying to connect my phone so that I can voice/video call my co-host (using an AUX cable if this is appropriate). My laptop doesn’t have a microphone in slot and the headphone slot is used for my headphones so I can hear the music. I purchased a USB External Stereo Sound Adapter (see link below) and tried connecting my phone to both the green headphone and pink microphone slots on it via an aux cable. I changed hardware input 2 to Microphone (USB Audio Device) but I couldn’t hear anything coming from the computer. In fact, the only way I could hear anything from the phone through the computer was by changing the playback device in Windows Sounds settings from Voicemeeter Input to Speakers (USB Audio Device) – unfortunately this resulted in my Windows music player (Spotify) failing to play music!
Is what I’m trying to do possible? If not, is there a good workaround?
