    Hi one and all – Seasons greetings,

    I just started testing Breakaway Live with SamBroadcaster,
    I configured it per instructions using the LiveLink

    Had a few issues in the beginning, where as i was not getting no audio from Sam to BL, came to find out, that i was using the Breakaway Broadcaster LiveLink dsp’s…(duh)

    However, it’s working perfect.

    Current Settings:
    SamBroadcaster –> LiveLink (BL) —> Edcast —> Shoutcast (had some issues with SamEncoder connecting to the shoutcastserver)

    Objective:
    I want the output from Breakaway Live be sent to the sound card, so we can monitor that via speakers

    I tried sending OutPut1 – (KS and wave) to the Soundcard, but non worked, no audio was being sent to the speakers via soundcard
    I’m using windows 7 professional.

    can someone instruct me as how to achieve this.
    thanks

    high, i use broadcast with sam but my setup should work for you using live, what i do is to click on the use soundcard agc in sam broadcaster, have breakaway pipeline 1 as the input and breakaway pipeline 2 as the output. this cuts out the need for livelink. you say your using edcast, have you sam and breakaway+edcast on separate pc’s? sam has its own encoders but your aware of that.

    Yea, i’m aware of SAM having it’s encoder, but for some reason, it was not connecting to my shoutcast server, tried it with two different shoutcast servers and had the same connection issues, and since edcast connected very good i used it

    I also tried that setting you suggested, but for some reason i’m having lots of difficulties with that set up, one time i’ll get it work, and after a reboot it stops working, i have to be constantly fideling with settings to get it work again.

    Even when using ZaraRadio i had that same problem sending audio to the Breakaway PipeLine.

    I get it to work good, but then after a reboot, no audio is being passed to Breakaway, then i fiddle with the same settings that worked before the reboot, and it works again, after a reboot the same issue, first i thought it was an issue with Zara, so i then started testing Sam, and had the same problem

    Only the Livelink connections worked pretty good, even after many reboots

    I’m curious – why use livelink?

    Sambroadcaster outputs to pipeline1
    BAL input is pipeline 1, output is pipeline 2
    Edcast uses pipeline 2

    Unless I’m missing something?

    Ok to be honest, which one of these options is the one i should try?
    i’ll try them booth and report back

    Option 1.
    Disable Live Link
    Sam Output: Output device: Silent Output
    Sam Output: No sound device Required
    Sam Mixer: Use SoundCard AGC
    In: Line 2
    Out: Line 1

    Option 2.
    Disable Live Link
    Sam Output: Output device: DirectSound output
    Sam Output: Line1 (breakaway pipeline)
    Sam Mixer: Disable SoundCard AGC

    Ok, spent some time playing around with SAM Broadcaster

    Finaly got SAM Encoder working, came to find out that SAM defaults to Shoutcast v2, while my provider is still on V1, changed that in the encoder, and SAM started broadcasting to shout cast.

    After testing Option 1, for a few seconds i quickly realized that something was not right, streamed output was cracking so bad that you could barely understand the sound to likeness

    Tried Option 2, and that survived all reboots/shutdown of SAM/BAL……
    Quality was as good as BAL could have provide, will do some more testing…and when happy, will post the link on my website, when i have a stable PC to do the daily broadcasting…

    the use soundcard AGC is the best option, send the input to pipeline 1 and output to pipeline 2. then shutdown sam (go to its program folder and shut it down using the sam shutdown command so to save your changes)
