How to send
sound along with video?
First of all, the simplest way to send sound along with video in
Magic Camera is to use our 'Virtual
Audio Streaming' software. And if you use Vista or Win7,
this maybe the only way to send sound properly since Vista/Win7
has removed support on 'Stereo Mix'.
However, in WinXP, you may use another way called 'Stereo Mix'
to broadcast sound. See below for details:
Windows XP
recognize audio input from Microphone. So you can not
send audio along with video when you play movie files to
your friend. To do it, you should switch your recorder
input to the stereo mix in Windows. By this way, all
sound on your computer will streamed to IM applications.
You may take the following steps to select the stereo
mix in your Windows.
1. Open Volume Control dialog and select its Options
menu, then click Properties in it.
2. Make sure the
"Recording" and "Stereo Mix" buttons is checked and
click OK. See screenshot below for reference.
3. In the next dialog,
select the "Stereo Mix" item as your input.
Now your IM applications
will send sound along with video to your friends.

and move the capture window to friend B's video window
