OBS
Windows + macOS

3 steps to OBS

Same on Windows and macOS.

  1. 1Click + under Sources in OBS
  2. 2Add DAS Audio (DAW)
  3. 3Play your DAW and check the OBS audio meter

No extra software needed

DISCORD
Windows

Send to Discord screen share

On Windows, DAS uses VB-CABLE as its internal audio route.

Not needed on macOS

Sharing your DAW app or full screen uses macOS built-in audio sharing — no extra setup required.

Install VB-CABLE first
  1. 1Extract the official ZIP
  2. 2Run "VBCABLE_Setup_x64.exe" as administrator
  3. 3Click Install Driver and restart Windows
VB-CABLE official site
  1. 4Confirm DAS Send shows a green OK
  2. 5Share your DAW or full screen in Discord
Don't touch these settings

Do not set "CABLE Input" as your DAW output or Discord microphone. DAS uses it internally.

Want to choose exactly what audio goes to the stream?

Create a dedicated "stream bus", route only the tracks you want to stream into it, and insert one DAS Send at the end of that bus. This lets you keep some audio private — heard only by you, not the stream.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Troubleshooting

Open only the item that applies to you.

DAS Send doesn't appear in my DAW

Rescan VST3 or AU plugins in your DAW. If you haven't restarted your DAW since installing, close and reopen it.

DAS Audio doesn't appear in OBS

Fully close and reopen OBS, then check + under Sources again.

Older OBS versions may not show DAS Audio. If it's missing, update OBS to the latest version and try again.

Discord on Windows is stuck on VB-CABLE

Install the x64 version of VB-CABLE as administrator and restart Windows.

I hear doubled audio

Check that you're not capturing the same DAW audio through both DAS Audio and Desktop Audio in OBS. Also make sure there's only one DAS Send instance.

I want to uninstall

On Windows, remove it from Installed apps in Windows Settings. On macOS, close your DAW and OBS and run "Uninstall.command".

Still not working
