2N® IP Audio Virtual Sound Card Application

What you should know

  • The 2N® IP Audio Virtual Sound Card application and 2N® IP Audio Manager are the minimum requirements for streaming audio to the 2N IP Audio System systems in households and/or small restaurants.
  • The 2N® IP Audio Virtual Sound Card also plays Windows system sounds by default. It should be disabled in the Windows Control Panel Sound → Change System Sound by choosing "No sound".

The 2N® IP Audio Virtual Sound Card helps you play audio files and playlists in a simple and comfortable manner. The application uses the existing audio applications (iTunes, Windows Media Player, Winamp) to stream the currently playing audio into 
2N® Net Audio Decoder or 2N® Net Speaker.

When the application is launched, an icon gets displayed in the notification area and you can choose Login to log in. The network administrator assigns you a username or you can set a username of your choice via the Configuration wizard, which starts after the 2N® IP Audio Manager installation. Refer to the 2N® Net Audio Decoder Quick Start Manual.
