(Unless you have really loud speakers that can be heard into the mic and poor noise cancellation.) Otherwise, no sound that your computer makes will be heard by anyone in the meeting. Most other solutions involve hi-jacking the various audio on your machine and routing it either into a physical microphone port on your computer, or a virtualised one using something like VB-CABLE Virtual Audio Device. By default, the audio into the call is a microphone. I have a video with audio, and I want to share that audio to the meeting I am in. Well, that is to say, using Chromecast with your Hangouts solves your audio problems.įirst things first, the problem. Just recently I discovered that the power of Google Hangouts combined with the power of Chrome Cast is an amazing solution to all your problems! From hardware to virtual audio cable software, every solution has been finicky at best, and wrecks day-to-day audio and video at worst, and requires a bunch of mucking around every time I want to enable or disable the setup. I work remotely, and I’ve used a bunch of solutions over the last few years to be able to route audio from my computer into a meeting call in Google Hangouts. Could it be a problem with the most recent RME driver, or a new version of Chrome and/or Google Talk plugin? So weird.15 Oct 18 in IT Support on Tips and Tricks Sharing audio to Google Hangouts (or Meets) I've done Hangouts and Belive.Tv in the past with my current setup without issues. I posted a message to the Chrome forums, but didn't hear back, and since the issue also occurs in Safari, I don't think it's only a Chrome problem.Īlso, it's worth pointing out that I'm virtually certain this is a new issue. I have no idea what to try next, so hoping someone here might have an idea. Note that the mic/input going through the RME works just fine. But then when I join the Hangout, I can't hear anything. It works watching YouTube videos or listening to audio streams in Chrome and Safari, so I know it's not a browser-wide issue.Įven more strangely, in Google Hangouts before I start the handout when I click the "gear" icon and configure the audio settings to use the RME, and click the "play a test sound" link, I can hear the test sound through my headphones plugged into the RME. The audio output through RME works just fine in Garage Band, Skype, Zoom, and other applications so it's not a hardware problem. This happens on both my iMac and my Macbook Pro, and I even did a fresh installation of High Sierra on my iMac over the weekend, to no avail. When using Google Hangouts and a couple of similar services (, for example) in both Chrome and Safari, audio output through the RME Babyface Pro doesn't work. I'm having a frustrating problem that I can't figure out.
