Hey guys i've been trying for a couple days to setup my Virtual Audio Cables and I can't get this to work. I've googled the problem and it seems like no one has my problem. When I select wave in as "Line 1" and Wave out as my headset speakers, then i hit start i get this error message
"Cannot open input device (1 - Undefined external error)"

Anyone know of a way to fix this?

I had the same problem. I solved it by removing any enhancements from the recording devices you want to use.

This problem happened here too but I found the solution: go to the "microphone privacy settings" -> hit "Allow access to the microphone on this device" and switch "Allow apps to access your microphone" to ON position.
