How to use Madde and RTSect in the same time
smptools work only in Windows. People which use Apple
systems in this case will unfortunately experience some problem.
Madde puts its audio on the channel you have defined in the
Control panel as the default audio output. The same does RTSect
about its input: it takes the signal coming from the default
audio input. This Sound control panel is what is called
"Windows Mixer" from a programmatic point of view.
Check your Windows mixer controls (small loudspeaker into the tray,
right lower corner of the desktop). Make the chosen output active,
(not muted) and raise its volume, and the overall volume. Choose
in the "recording" section of the mixer your input as
active, and raise its recording volume.
If you want to see the outcoming audio signal in RTSect, first of
all you must have a full-duplex audio board. Every not ancient board
is full-duplex, so that it is unlike you have a half-duplex sound
board, unless you have a very very old computer. Second, you
must provide something capable of putting the output back into the
chosen input.
This can be done in several different ways:
- Some audio boards (amid them, the Creative Sound Blaster Live
and similar) have an input channel called "What U hear",
in which you can find everything you put in output (you can
hear). Use this as input device / channel, activating it into
the Windows mixer.
- This functionality can be simulated by means of software
drivers called "virtual cables". They don't work on
every system, every sound card and every circumstance, so that
try it before buying.
- You can make a bridge between the physical, analog output of
your sound board and the physical analog input. You have to
prepare a cable, otherwise you cannot hear and see at the same
time:
Check the settings of both programs
(particularly set the same sampling frequency, amid those supported
by your sound board): 
Both
applets must be start-up: 
in Madde, and 
in RTSect
