This tutorial will teach you how to create a music bot for Teamspeak using an AKLWEB HOST VPS.

Some people like to hear good music when they are playing games. However, listening to music from a website may make your ping go up, and using a media player may cost you some frames-per-second (FPS), so why not take advantage of Teamspeak to listen to music?

With a music player, a Teamspeak client, and an AKLWEB HOST VPS running Windows, you can set up a low-cost, reliable music bot.

Requirements

• A VPS from AKLWEB Host running Windows Server. In this tutorial, we consider 2008 R2.
• A Teamspeak server.
• Any music file.

Installation

First of all, you will need to login to your VPS via VNC. Please pay attention to this detail, because an RDP connection disables Windows audio session. Already logged in? Let’s proceed.

Get the “Virtual Audio Cable Free edition” from the official website and extract the files on your server.

Next, install VAC. At the end of the wizard, you may need to confirm the installation of the audio driver. If so, you will need to reboot the VPS.

After the reboot finishes, log into your VPS via VNC again. From the start menu, open “VAC Control Panel”. Create a virtual cable by entering 1 on the cable's input box. Then, click “Set” and close the control panel.

Get the Teamspeak client from the official site and install it.

Once the setup finishes, you will get a wizard to set up sound. Proceed through the wizard, following the steps below.

• You will see an input box to enter your nickname. I usually insert “Dj”, followed by a music style – but it’s your choice! Next.
• Check “Voice Activation Detection”. Next.
• Next.
• Next.
• This panel has 2 buttons. Make sure that both show “No Hotkey Assigned”. Click on them and press Escape to clear. Next.
• Uncheck all boxes. Click “Finish”.

At this time, you need to set up the capture profile. Click on “Settings”, and “Options” and you will see a screen with some options. Click on “Capture” and apply these settings.

• Capture mode: “Direct Sound”.
• Capture device: “Line 1 (Virtual Audio Cable)”.
• Audio slider: Put the arrow on the “-50” value. ” Click “Ok”.

Next, you need to download VLC from its official site. Once you have downloaded it, open the VLC media player and load your music.

Hint: MP3 files are less likely to lag and slow the processor.

Click on “Audio”, “Audio Device”, then “Line 1”. Now, when you click “Play” in VLC, your music bot will start “talking” on the Teamspeak server.

To improve the audio quality, put the bot on one channel with the following config:

• Codec: Opus Music
• Quality: 10
• Needed Talk Power: 100

You're all set, enjoy listening to music while playing your favorite game.
