By the way, I'm using Stereo Tool on a PC running Windows 7, with 2 outputs. One going to Virtual Audio Cable and then to the streaming program. The other output goes to the USB Bluetooth card, which was connected to a Bluetooth receiver upstairs; that receiver is plugged into an FM block-wide transmitter. I unplugged everything upstairs on Friday, and yesterday the mess of jumbled echoey audio on the streaming started.
I've only had that audio mess once before, and that was when the Bluetooth receiver was shut off for a few minutes. When I restarted Stereo Tool, everything worked again that 1st time. Maybe Stereo Tool just isn't good with Bluetooth peripherals.
I'll be able to fix it when I get back to the broadcast's location, but ST should automatically detect these problems or at the very least restart and refresh itself once a day or so if the user wants it IMO.
Every program detects all your sound devices, and all other devices by ID, once you add or remove some device, in this case sound devices, the ID list changes. So you just probably need to set input/output devices again and all should work again. It's never good to add or remove devices on the fly when something is using it. That's exact reason why such devices are not recommended to be used for FM, they know to easy disconnect/reconnect for many reasons, and make a mess. I would never use USB device or worse, BT anything for this task. Idk what that BT receiver is, but i would rather put some PC and make Network connection to PC1 and send audio over network.
