I'm trying to route the audio from a YouTube video to a microphone input that can be used for Microsoft Word’s dictation feature. I'm using VB-Audio Virtual Cable on Windows 10 and have set up the following:
The output device is set to "Cable Input (VB-Audio Virtual Cable)". The input device is set to "Cable Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable)". When I play a YouTube video, I can see the master volume indicator moving, indicating that the audio is being routed to the VB-Audio Virtual Cable. I've also set the "Cable Output" to listen through my speakers so I can monitor the audio, and I can see the microphone bar indicator moving.
However, when I try to use the dictation feature in Microsoft Word Online, it doesn’t seem to pick up the YouTube audio. I've set the microphone in Word to "Cable Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable)", but it doesn't seem to work.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
