Stereo Mix

Hello, I want to make Stereo Mix like Windows has (virtual device which listens what do you hear and you can use it as input device).

I found it here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … o/Examples in category ALSA monitor source.

So this is my output from pactl list:

[tomsk@tomsk-PC ~]$ pactl list | grep "monitor"
        Monitor Source: alsa_output.usb-Creative_Technology_Ltd_Sound_Blaster_Play__2_000000008582-00.analog-stereo.monitor
        Monitor Source: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor
        Name: alsa_output.usb-Creative_Technology_Ltd_Sound_Blaster_Play__2_000000008582-00.analog-stereo.monitor
                device.class = "monitor"
        Name: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor
                device.class = "monitor"
                media.name = "alsa_input.usb-Creative_Technology_Ltd_Sound_Blaster_Play__2_000000008582-00.analog-stereomonitor2.0x7fff8760de10"

So I added this:

pcm.pulse_monitor {
  type pulse
  device alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor
}

ctl.pulse_monitor {
  type pulse
  device alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor
}

into ~/.asoundrc

But I still cannot choose monitor device as input device on TeamSpeak, and this is screenshot from pavucontrol:

What is wrong?

Re: Stereo Mix

There shouldn't be a need for that. Set up teamspeak to use pulse instead of ALSA, start a recording and move it to the monitor in pavucontrol.

Or do you still want to be able to speak while the monitor is recording your output?

Re: Stereo Mix

But I don't have option for monitor capture device, I have only:
- Default
- Sound Blaster Play! 2 Analog Stereo (my sound card)
- Built-in Audio Analog Stereo

Re: Stereo Mix

Teamspeak doesn't create an immovable stream, just move the capture stream to the relevant monitor device in pavucontrol

Please resize those images to 200x200 thumbnails or just post a link.

Re: Stereo Mix

Ah okey it works, I thought that I have to create new Capture profile for it, is possible to use this approach too? So I dont have to open pavucontrol every time?

Re: Stereo Mix

If you tell teamspeak to just use the "default" device, it should not explicitly set this itself and normal pulse device/fallback remembering logic should take care of this.

Re: Stereo Mix

But how can I tell TeamSpeak that default device is monitor and not real microphone?

Re: Stereo Mix

You don't, pulseaudio will.

Re: Stereo Mix

Thank you and last question if there easy way to mix my microphone and output? That it will listen my microphone and monitor of my output.
