Is there any simple solution to stream the output system/application sound to Skype, as the microphone input? For example - I want my contact to hear the YouTube video being played at the same time.

Also, if I could control which applications or processes being streamed to Skype individual it would be even better.

I'm on PC - Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit

Thanks

    What OS? If you're on a Mac, you can use [Soundflower](https://github.com/Cycling74/Soundflower) (though it doesn't give you control over which apps get redirected). – Blacklight Shining Sep 15 '13 at 18:42

  • @matan129 Like VAC, but free: http://jackaudio.org – nixda Sep 15 '13 at 19:05
  • If you want it cheap then check if you have the stereo downmix option in your sound configuration available (google it). If not then Virtual Audio Cable is the best solution here. And yes it costs money, but it also is a pretty complex and high class solution and it costs the developer money for having his audio driver licensed by Microsoft. Why would anyone spend money after also doing all the work just so that cheapskates could profit from it for free? – Zerobinary99 Sep 15 '13 at 19:30
  • @Zerobinary99 Calm down. Let's not start flinging insults around here. – Blacklight Shining Sep 15 '13 at 19:55
  • @BlacklightShining Oh I'm not agitated, don't worry. Just pointing out that he probably won't find a free solution since this solution will require a driver that needs to be signed and that costs money. – Zerobinary99 Sep 15 '13 at 20:07
  • @Zerobinary99 While it doesn't let you pick and choose apps, Soundflower is free. And I'm willing to bet there's a free solution for Linux distros (or at least that it wouldn't cost any money to make one). – Blacklight Shining Sep 15 '13 at 20:09
  • @BlacklightShining But didn't you say that Soundflower is for Mac only? This guy is running Windows 7, so this wouldn't apply. And yes I agree, there is probably a free Linux alternative, but does Skype even support Linux natively? I guess it would run in Wine though. – Zerobinary99 Sep 15 '13 at 20:11

Take a look: http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm

Virtual Audio Cable software allows you to transfer audio (wave) streams between applications and/or devices.
