Yea i do hear it
The thing is that you shouldn’t hear it.
(I’m assuming that “listen to this device” is off)
Hypothesis
I’m not sure how plausible it is, but maybe your PC is sending the sound of ALL playback devices to AudioRelay. Your speaker + Cable Input.
Quick recap
Just so that we’re on the same page…
- Cable Input is a playback device
- Cable Output is a recording device
When you select Cable Input in the player screen of AudioRelay, the app plays the audio sent from your phone. For Windows and AudioRelay, Cable Input could be simple speaker or headphone.
Experiments
How many playback devices do you have on your PC?
Here’s something your could try
Experiment 1
- Connect your phone to your PC (don’t start a server on your phone)
- Go to your PC’s playback devices
- Right click and press test on all of them.
Do you hear the test in your phone for all of them?
(If everything works as expected, you should hear it only when testing on the device selected in AudioRelay)
Experiment 2
Could you repeat the experiment after selecting another playback device in AudioRelay? (CABLE Input for example)
Potential fix
It seems that someone else had the same issue. (His video demo)
He selected Cable Output in Zoom, and everything is fine first. But as soon as he enables screen sharing, zooms gets whatever comes from Cable Output + whatever sound is played on his computer. (This would include Cable Input)
His fix was to remove Intel Smart Sound Technology drivers and turning off sound reduction in MyAsus.
Do you have either of them?
