After several years of using the Line 1 Virtual Audio Cable, I'm fed up with the delay and crackling sound that occur when a process consumes a lot of system resources or every time I perform an action or connect another device to my laptop.
The 30-millisecond delay may seem minor, but it can be noticeable when I'm trying to redirect audio quickly to another device. I'm looking for alternatives to VAC because this delay and the crackling are affecting my experience.
I've searched online, but I'm hoping someone can suggest a better and accessible solution that serves a similar purpose.
I'm mainly using Virtual Audio Cable to apply effects to my microphone through Reaper and then redirect audio (like movies or music) to listen with friends. Sometimes, when I want to stream a game or do similar tasks, the 30-millisecond delay becomes a problem. I haven't been able to achieve better results with the audio repeater included with the app.
That's why I'm looking for something better. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
