[Skype] Most Easiest way to have Skype in RadioBOSS

[pety]

First of all let me start with what do not need:

• Don't need two soundcards;
• Don't need analogic or digital hardware mixer (only if you use a XLR mic);
• Don't need two or more VAC.

What we need for smallest settings and hardware:

• An USB Mic (mine is Samson GoMic);
• One laptop (RadioBOSS and Skype);
• VB-Cable (from here).

That's it !!!
Now the settings:
SKYPE:

• Mic - Samson GoMic;
• Speakers - VB-Cable Input.

RadioBOSS:

• Main Speakers - Headphones (from my laptop);
• MIC - Samson GoMic;
• Input1 - VB-Cable Output (here I route speaker from Skype to RadioBOSS).

In Windows 7 Playback uses Headphone as default and recording uses Samson GoMic as default.
The Ideea is very simple:
I use Main Player and Aux Player in the same time. In Main I use traks which I need and some bed for Skype conference. In Aux I can hear and play in real time Skype caller.
See images for making settings.

I'll just note that there's no need to download and install VBCable as it's already integrated into RadioBOSS. To activate cards:
Open Settings
Navigate to Playback->Devices
Click one of the Change... buttons and then click Virtual Sound Cards button.

If VB-Cable is not installed there is necessary administration rights for installing and restart computer too

Yes, it requires admin rights to install the sound card, but it's not required to restart the PC (at least if you use Windows Vista or better).

This solution (RadioBOSS - Skype) works GREAT in RadioBOSS 5.5
Sory, but until now did not find any error.


Beter Beta ever

That's great that it works with 5.5 and I like this Skype instruction for its simplicity I moved this topic to the How-To section so that people can find it easily.

Question: Does this still works for current RB 5.6 and Classic Skype Desktop (not modern app)?
