- [Asio Link Pro](https://give.academy/posts/2018/03/02/AsioLinkPro/) (free) should be the most powerful and flexible solution, bu also the hardest to set up (thanks to a 20 years old GUI). [For the record](https://give.academy/posts/2018/03/02/AsioLinkPro/), it's an old piece of software which you had to pay for. The developer passed away a few years ago so nobody could buy it anymore. In 2019 his nephew decided to create a "legit" crack allowing anyone to use Asio Link Pro for free.
- [Jack Audio](https://jackaudio.org/downloads/) should be actually simpler to configure even though it does not provide a GUI (graphical user interface). All is done with command lines, but you need very few to get your setup working properly.

What to do if ReaStream in OBS do not receive sound from my audio software?
- Make sure you are using the same sample rate (44.1Khz or 48KHz) in your audio software and OBS (Settings \> Audio tab)
- Right click the Audio input capture, open "Properties" then select another input device. For some reasons, it might not work with some devices (especially the "Default" one).
- In ReaStream in your audio software, replace "\* local broadcast" by "127.0.0.1". It is a special IP address saying "this very own computer".
- Try changing to another identifier in both OBS and your audio software. Sometimes, just clicking in the Identifier field and hitting "Enter" can re-instanciate the plugin an make it work.
