Playing Audio Via a Discord Audio Bot

[zapgun]

I am not sure if people are aware that discord bots are allowed to play audio in stereo, but there is a nice little tool you can use to pipe windows audio to a discord bot here: https://github.com/QiCuiHub/discord-audio-pipe

The setup is relatively straight forward, and if you combine it with a virtual audio cable from https://www.vb-audio.com/Cable/index.htm, its fairly easy to pipe any music, synthscape player, or windows media setup to a custom discord bot in stereo.

Hope folks find it useful.

THat would be encouraging as I didn’t think that discord did play music/audio in stereo.

Question. Would you be able to build a step by step (if it isn't too difficult) on how to do what you are suggesting? This is really intriguing as it sidesteps the multiple instances of discord issue which are NOT stereo. If I'm reading this correctly, this solution would be in stereo. Just not clear how you would tie this into a package. I'll play around with it as well but I'm not exactly sure how to do it....

I'd also be interested in learning how this works. Currently I use multiple instances of Discord and VoiceMeeter Bannana to pipe all of my Syrinscape and Chrome Youtube audio into discord. The sound quality isn't fantastic, but it's better than nothing.

Just dabbling this too. Would using the new Syrinscape online player not be simpler (assuming they are the source for all your audio cues)?

So, I know this is old but someone on the syrinscape forum actually posted a detailed video on how to set this up. For anyone using discord to stream sounds, I just set this up in about 10 minutes and plan to try it in my next session. Really simple setup to get stereo sounds which was always the main drawback I had with piping sounds into discord.
