Two PCs usually means a mess of cables.

Line-in hum, virtual cables, and IP addresses typed by hand on both machines.

VirCast finds the other PC by name.

Open it on both PCs and press Connect PC. There's nothing to type.

Six lanes, matched on both sides.

Each color plugs into the same color on the other PC, with its own port.

Press play once. Both PCs go live.

48 kHz audio with as little as 50 ms of delay, and a meter on every lane.

The usual ways of sending audio between PCs fight you.

Every 2-PC streamer has tried at least one of these. Here's what goes wrong, and what VirCast does instead.

Line-in cableA 3.5 mm cable from one PC's output to the other's input.
No ground-loop hum. Audio travels digitally over your network, so there's no analog cable to pick up buzz.
VBAN and network mixersStream names and IP addresses typed on both PCs.
Nothing to type. Press Connect PC and it finds the other PC by name, then matches every lane on both sides.
Virtual cablesA chain of virtual devices that only you understand.
Six named lanes. Game audio, mic, Discord and music each get their own color, so you always know what goes where.
Drifting out of syncAudio slowly slips behind the video over a long stream.
Stays locked. A jitter buffer and clock-drift correction keep playback smooth for hours.
Breaks after updatesA Windows update or unplugged headset silently kills the route.
Recovers by itself. Lanes that were running come back after device changes, and you get a warning if a stream stalls.

Pairing takes three steps.

Six lanes. Each color plugs into the same color.

Set each lane to send or receive, pick its device, and the matching lane on the other PC does the opposite. Tap a cable to mute it.

Signal on each cable flows in the direction that lane sends.

Out of the way while you play.

Shrink VirCast to a mini bar that stays on top of your game. Close the window and it tucks into the tray, and the audio keeps running.
