I had to use a virtual cable to get audio from NextKast to a stand alone encoder since I didn't like the fact tat if the music was silent for too long or low volume it would cause the stream to drop out. Radiocaster which is an external Icecast/Shoutcast encoder didn't do that.
What I did was send the second sound card feature of NextKast to VB Cable (A FREE virtual cable driver) then I told Radiocaster to receive the audio from VB Cable and then stream it Live.
I'm on a shoe string budget trust me because I'm disabled so what I did was use an old Android Smartphone an LG G Vista. I simply Downloaded Xiia Live (FREE) and entered my stream. Now I can use the equalizer built into the Internet Radio program and have the audio go to my Transmitter. My computer is in a separate room far away from my TX but since my station streams on the Internet I'm able to send the audio to the Transmitter.
Just to let you know I use the virtualizer and set that to 30% and take the 75Khz and drop it 2 bars and it sounded great on my TX. i was able to get my sound to be more Album Rock standard type of sound without the over driven base and the high end is not over the top and yet nice and pristine.
I do have to manually have to reconnect the Radio software if I drop out for longer than 30 seconds.
