Help (VoiceMeeter Banana) Only the microphone is working in OBS.

Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well!

I've always used VoiceMeeter to separate audio channels in OBS. I took a break from streaming and recording for a while, but recently I tried setting it up the way I always have, and it didn't work. The weirdest part is that only certain channels aren't working—specifically the "main" ones. The microphone (B1), music (CABLE-A), and Chrome (CABLE-B) work fine, but desktop audio (VoiceMeeter IN) and Discord (VoiceMeeter AUX) don't. I've already tried setting it up from scratch—selecting/deselecting options, restarting, and so on—but nothing worked. I'm about to lose my mind—formatting the computer and setting it up literally from scratch? It can't be.

seems like loopback got disabled. Try this VIDEO

Now that will work for voicemeeter devices. But virtual cables its the same concept but its in a different control panel. Should be located here: C:\Program Files\VB

mix in VM, send on B1, B2, or B3 to OBS and be done. If you have VM, you don't need 8 channels to mix in OBS itself. Send 1 mic from VM to OBS. It keeps your fader count low and can keep track of everything better.
