afair i have already done this a year ago or so and it worked no problem. streaming everything else works fine. however i have tried several different options on the command line and on the gui, tried different outputs (http, rtp, upd, file ...) and transcoding (ogg, local ...) or different strings for the audio devices, just in case the problem might be somewhere there. After trying it for a while it pretty much comes down to vlc not finding any dshow device. i wondered if there is any other method to stream system audio.
on the device choice dropdown in the stream gui for directshow i have only default and none and leaving it blank or putting in the only device that i'm using (vlc does not recognize obv) also does not succeed. the error log shows only this:
Code: Select all
core debug: looking for access module matching "dshow": 21 candidates
dshow debug: dshow-vdev: none
dshow debug: dshow-adev: $whatever
dshow debug: skipping video device
dshow error: no audio capture device was detected
dshow error: can't open audio device
dshow error: FATAL: could not open ANY device
