Hey Elektronauts!
Quick question for you all. I take piano lessons online through Skype, but my teacher has a hard time hearing my piano clearly. The speakers don’t come through well over Skype. My digital piano has a line output, so I’m thinking there’s got to be a way to send the piano’s audio directly through Skype.
The catch is, I still need my teacher to hear my voice at the same time. Anyone have any suggestions on how to set this up?
Thanks a lot!

i dont have any recent experience with this, last time i tried routing audio through skype was 15 years ago, yikes!
this may be helpful? seems to have good info
Yes, my teacher is 82 and still loves it 
thanks for the link!
I have been doing a lot of online courses, sessions, discussions etc…
Just use this. Don’t even Google anything else.
It’s not free but this is one of the services where you will get your money’s worth.
Hi Daniel,
I’ve never done this myself, but to send multiple audio channels to skype’s mono input this is what you want to do (or at least one way). Hopefully you already own an audio interface.
Good luck with your lessons!
Thank you a ton! You’ve just made my day.
No worries my friend! Have a good one.
I don’t know if Skype has this feature, but in zoom you can turn on a music-optimized mode that will send stereo at higher quality without the noise and voice filtering it normally does — or yes, use something like listento. If you’ve got an audio interface, just run an external mic in for voice at the same time as the piano—either through an external mixer (honestly easier) or by mixing inside your interface if it has dsp (
rme) or use something like voicemeeter on windows to mix and route the channels that way. If you’re on Mac, I don’t know the tools, but I know it’s a lot easier there.
If you’re on Windows, Voicemeeter should do the trick.
