Hoping I can figure out why my Skype refuses to hear Maynarde before we go live tonight! Solo casting + updating results + lining up matches to stream was a pain in the assssssssss.

its probably one of those things where its the simplest solution but you just dont think of it. ie skype volume/windows volume mixer etc...

It was actually a case of "the stream is already live and games are underway, I don't have time to troubleshoot it right now." :P

I'm pretty sure it's this, copy/pasting a similar issue from one of the other ACL staff:

I discovered what the problem was. Long story short is that I had a second monitor set up via HDMI, which screwed up Windows 7's "soundboard", and xsplit couldn't pick up my skype conversation. I have since then, tested all of my new settings and streamlined the cast as much as possible. It now all works. >.>

Essentially it seems that Skype decided to nominate my Plasma TV as it's output source, rather than my headset. It's weird, it's never done this before, but it makes perfect sense. I bet if I turned the volume up on the TV, I'd be able to hear Maynarde. Shouldn't be a problem tonight - I just don't have much time to test things out between getting home from work and firing up the stream.
