WebRadio Problems

[AyrA.ch]

Hello Community
I am not sure if this is a Server or Client Issue, but I have the folowing Problem:
A Friend of mine has Teamspeak hosted on my Server because I have enough Bandwith. I created a Channel called "Music". As the Name suggests, there is a Music Bot in there. The Music Bot is constructed as the Following:
A Media Player cycles through a Playlist and plays every Song in there. Audio Output is a Virtual Soundcard (Virtual Audio Cable 4).
A Teamspeak Client is running on the same Server (connected to localhost) and has the Virtual Soundcard as Input.
Everything causes a Processor Load of 2-5%. The problem is, the Audio Quality when connection to a Client is not good. It sometimes sounds "digitalized" as if there were some bytes missing or wrong encoded.
I've set up a WebRadio over HTTP on the same Server (also selected Virtual Audio Cable as Input) and it sounds good. Other People can connect and talk to each other without any Problems. I've tried every possible Sond Quality Settings in the Channel without luck. Has anybody else the same issues? If I run the Radio Stream from my Computer, which is in the same LAN network as the Server it works fine. Is localhost "too fast" for something?

Teamspeak running on default Port on
(You cannot see other people who are not in the same channel but you can join the Music channel)
Webradio can be listened on
The Webradio can be controlled from

Issue is resolved (somehow) The Audio is only messed up on LAN Connections. Users connecting over the Internet to above Server do not have issues with it. Seems like there is a Timing issue.

Setting up a Webradio stream is not that hard. You need these things:

• A Computer with a soundcard (yours is fine for the first tests)
• Teamspeak Client (obviously)
• VLC Media Player

Install Teamspeak and create an Entity for your webradio, we call this "BOT" in this Guide.
Create a recording Profile in TS Settings and choose "Stereo Mix" as the source.

Now connect to the Server you want to stream your sound to and join the channel you want your bot to sit in. I recommend you to set the Audio Quality of specified Channel to Maximum (Opus Music on new Servers, CELT Mono on older Servers).

Create a favorite for this Server. Click on the "refresh" button right to the channel textbox. Select the Identity you created, choose the recording Profile you created and select "none" as Playback profile, hotkey profile and soundpack. Now save your changes.

Locate the Path to your VLC.exe File (probably C:\Program Files\Videolan\VLC\vlc.exe). Create a File on your Desktop with the folowing Content:

@ECHO OFF
CD /D "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC"
START "" vlc.exe http://your-source-stream :dshow-vdev=none :dshow-adev= :live-caching=1000 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=none,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:http{dst=:8080/stream.mp3} :sout-keep --verbose=2

if you want to stream your own soundcard into TS, use dshow:// as source instead of http://whatever. Change the Path to VLC in the File if required. Save the whole thing as server.bat (not server.txt or server.bat.txt)

Double Click the File to start the stream. You now should hear it in TeamSpeak and also directly through your Speakers. This might be enough for testing purposes. If you want to stream continuously or use teamspeak yourself while streaming, get a dedicated windows machine for this. A second Computer or an old notebook are perfectly fine.
I have the exaclty same setup on my home server which streams to the Teamspeak Server home.ayra.ch. You can connect to it and enter the Channel. Sound Quality is maxed out.
