Does anyone know of a method/program to play sounds over Vent? (Not using the mic)
Someone told me there was some virtual audio cable program, and they were using it, playing sounds from their computer directly over vent. I forgot what it was called, though.
I'd just do it with a mic, but I wear headphones, so that's kinda impossble. Also, if I did that, whatever sound I'd be playing would be mixed in with game sounds + other people talking on vent.

The "ghetto" way to do it (and the method that I use) is simply switching the input from "Microphone" to "Stereo Mix". That'll do exactly what you want it to do, play sounds from your computer directly over Vent. I used this countless times in classic WoW during raids so I could play sound clips from the 50 DKP Minus video. The only downside is that the microphone won't work when it's set to Stereo Mix (duh), so you'll have to switch back and forth.
Also, be sure to turn your output volume down when you're using Stereo Mix.

Bah, I ain't paying for something like that. I'd rather use the ghetto way =P

Will sounds from vent be picked up, when using Stereo Mix? (other people talking)

It will record any sounds coming from your computer.

Where exactly do I do this? In vent's settings, under Input, there's "Default DirectSound Device" and "Analog Audio In"...no Stereo Mix.
I tried with Analog Audio In, and the person i was testing with said they didn't hear anything.
