How to Use VB Audio OBS with Jack Audio Connection Kit

In my case, I'm offloading the DSP to a Linux box, which has network capabilities, so you can link two jack instances and have them share audio. The observant reader will note that this is a screenshot of Ardour running on Linux, not Windows. Note that the config can all be pretty finicky, so you may have to play around a lot to get it to work well.

To set up VB Audio OBS with Jack Audio Connection Kit, you'll need a few pieces of software:

* Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK2), which is an open-source audio server that allows you to connect and control multiple audio applications

* ASIO4ALL, which is an ASIO driver providing access to your hardware

* Ardour, which is a digital audio workstation (DAW) that can perform DSP tasks

Here's how to set it up:

1. First, you'll need to download and install JACK2 on your Windows 10 64-bit system. I recommend downloading the latest version from the official site.

2. Next, you'll need to configure JACK2 to use your audio hardware. You can do this by running the QjackCtl application and selecting your audio device from the list of available devices.

3. Once you've configured JACK2, you'll need to set up Ardour to use it as a DSP client. This will allow you to perform audio processing tasks using Ardour's built-in effects and plugins.

4. To route the audio output from your game or application to OBS Studio, you'll need to use ASIO4ALL to create a virtual Windows playback device that can be used by OBS.

5. Finally, you'll need to configure OBS Studio to use the virtual playback device as its audio input. This will allow you to capture the audio output from your game or application and route it to your recording.

Some additional tips to keep in mind:

* Make sure that you've configured JACK2 correctly and that it's using the correct audio device.

* Make sure that Ardour is set up to use JACK2 as its DSP client.

* Make sure that ASIO4ALL is configured correctly to create a virtual playback device that can be used by OBS.

* If you're having trouble getting the audio output from your game or application to route to OBS, try using the Connect feature of QjackCtl to see if it can help you identify any issues.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
