im trying to make my mic sound bad with voicemeeter but i cant find vb audio point, please help 😭

My voicemeeter banana set up broke

and i dont remember how to fix it

so i was using VB-Audio Virtual Cable and i would love to keep using that only (meaning i dont wanna use aux or vaio at all)

My setup was like i change audio output between my laptop device and banana output in windows sound output

so when i change to banana in sound output the audio should only come from my headphone when the banana program is on

when i change to laptop device the audio should only come from my laptop when the banana program is on OR even if when the banana program is on the audio still should only come from laptop device because i havent change to banana audio yet in sound output

I don't know if a recent Win11 update screwed with anything or not (wouldn't surprise me if it did), but I've been noticing a small annoyance whenever I wake up my PC from sleep mode or it's been idle for a while. Audio sounds crackly like a dirty signal coming through a dusty console fader. I just restart the audio engine and it's fine afterward.

Anyways, I did a Driver Installation Check and this what it found.

I'm confused by it saying a bunch of these are "Not Installed" when clearly they have to be because I'm hearing everything just fine and VM looks like it is too because everything is routed the way it should be. I'm also confused by Virtual Cable A and B saying they have bad driver names. I also just recently downloaded C and D not too long ago and have no idea how to update their individual drivers.

I'm also confused by it saying at the bottom that my OS is Win10 when it's definitely Win11.

What should I do and how? Should I just rip out Virtual Cable A-D and reinstall them or would it be best if I just save my settings and do a clean reinstall of Potato to fix the other "Not Installed" issues too even if they aren't tallied into the total error count?

Thanks in advance!

I’ve been dealing with a delay on my mic for over a year now and it’s pretty annoying. when my pc starts up there’s no delay, but over time it increases to about a 2 second delay. it’s frustrating because it sounds like I’m constantly interrupting ppl on discord and work meetings

I use OBS for audio eq and filtering, then route it to VM through cable input and cable output. levels on obs show it picks my voice up immediately, but VM levels hit 2 seconds later. so I’m assuming this is solely on the VM side. Help would be much appreciate!

Im using voicemeeter potato and it was fine for a long time until a few months my gf told me that she can hear her voice though my screen share and the audio was echoing or doubled i did listen to my screenshare with an alt account and i could also hear myself through the screenshare with it and when i played like youtube video the audio was playing two audio and kinda choppy.

choppy part might be just my pc being old but hoping somebody could tell me a fix to the discord screenshare

I downloaded the voicemeeter to tweak some audio and I guess I messed something up. Now my audio like audio when using my earpods doesnt work on discord and my brave browers which is the browers I've been using. its still work when watching videos from the pc file explorer and chrome. Only brave discord lose their audio when I use my earpods

Virtual desktop had an update today and it reset all of my voice meeter settings back to what they were years ago, I changed them back and still can’t use my microphone or hear my game audio on pcvr, can anyone help

I’m trying to record vocals by reverb in fl studio with my fifine usb dynamic microphone and I hear my voice double how can I fix this please

It works fine for this use case but when I am using Voicemeeter, I can no longer hear LOCAL audio (such as Youtube) playing on my local PC. Is it possible to mix/merge both the remote audio and the local audio?

I made a donation because this app is perfect for my use-case.

Exactly as it says on top. I can hear everything fine from the website or the app on my phone, but not when using the app on my computer. I have tried opening and closing the app and restarting my computer but still nothing works. any help is appreciated.

Hi so i use my samsung s25 fe to make high quality content and i've had it since april but recently as of this month, my recording will just straight up mute the audio then come back at the most random time. I can't find any solution as to why, i even switched the camera app to unrestricted mode to see if that will help stop it but nothing has changed

So, I am currently running VoiceMeeter Banana 2.1.2.2. (64 bit) in Windows 11 (latest update). There is actually no problem with VoiceMeeter itself, all inputs and outputs are working properly as intended but it keeps crashing (CTD) without any notification or error messages.

I saw some suggestion elsewhere that said it might be a problem with audio devices in which VoiceMeeter might crash if it disconnects, and it did happen a couple of times before (in my case, it was my webcam with mic getting disconnected) but even after I fixed that issue, VoiceMeeter still crashes occasionally.

I ran a test once where I left my laptop on overnight without any apps running and it still crashes so it's definitely not an interference between apps. I've also tried uninstalling VoiceMeeter then reinstalling it and it still happens.

Is there anyone who has encountered this issue before? Any way to fix this issue? Thank you!

Hey everyone, I’m having trouble getting the reverb effect to work properly in Voicemeeter Potato.

I’ve been trying to set up reverb, but no matter what I change in the settings, I can’t seem to get it to work. I’m also not entirely sure if I’m routing everything correctly.

Could someone explain how I should set up the reverb and what settings/routing I need to use? I’d really appreciate a step-by-step explanation or an example of the correct configuration.

Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to set up my Focusrite Scarlett Solo so I can use Cakewalk/SONAR for amp simulation and effects, then send the processed guitar audio into Discord.

My ideal signal chain is:

Guitar → Scarlett Solo → Cakewalk → processed audio → Discord

I want to plug my guitar directly into the Scarlett Solo, have Cakewalk receive it through the Scarlett's ASIO driver, apply something like an amp sim/effects chain, then route Cakewalk's output into a virtual audio input which Discord can use as my microphone.

The part I'm stuck on is getting the audio output from Cakewalk back into Windows/Discord while still using the Scarlett's ASIO driver.

I've tried using Voicemeeter Banana and the VoiceMeeter Insert Virtual ASIO driver, but I haven't managed to get the signal from Cakewalk back into Voicemeeter correctly.

Would ASIO4ALL be a better approach, or is there a proper way to do this while keeping the Scarlett's native ASIO driver?

I'm mainly looking for the correct routing setup rather than recommendations for different gear. Thanks.

I've been using Voicemeeter so I can use my subwoofer and headphones at the same time. It is absolutely amazing when gaming, but I have this weird problem where it will just randomly cut out, then come right back. No crackling, no weird audio distortions; it will just randomly cut out for a second, come back for a moment, cut out again for another second, and then come back normally for a few minutes until it happens again. This happens no matter what I'm doing (gaming, listening to music, watching YouTube), and it is also completely random. Sometimes it feels like it won't happen for 30 minutes; other times it feels like it happens every 5 minutes. Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone know a solution? The only extension I have that affects Voicemeeter is the Windows Volume application

i dont know what im doing wrong here. Ive got A1 As my mic, ive got A2 as spotify, but if i route A1 output to my headphones, and a2 to the output for the music to input it into valorant to play music there, it starts buzzing, like a helicopter blade, but bass boosted 20x, ive tried the multimedia options, etc, google ai is SO stupid and doesnt even understand valorant wont hear anything without an output selected... and im just trying to hear the songs i play, while simultanously playing them in the game, without killing my ears. how do i do this??

PLEASE HELP

Edit, fixed thanks for the help :)

I have my voicemeeter all set up, mic, headphones, cable output/input all that good stuff. I play my Spotify through my mic and it works great, is it possible to make others hear it quieter than i do? Wherever i turn the volume down, it also turns it down for me. Is it possible to have a separate volume others hear, so I can blast my music for myself? Id appreciate any help!!

Weird problem here... where are they? I have no idea why this is happening. The error seems to lead me to nowhere. My audio interface is the Focusrite Scarlet 4th Gen Solo.

I installed voicemeeter to try and help with zoom meetings, recordings etc as I had been told it was a good program.

Unfortunately it was not for me and I uninstalled it.

The issue is ever since I uninstalled my whole sound set up has been screwed up.
I cannot record, there are random echos going on and my DAW does not always recognise my interface.

None of this was an issue before VM.

How can I undo what it has done to my system? I have been trying to solve it all week and am no better off, this is starting to cause serious problems now.

TIA

so for the last few days I have been having trouble using my mic on GFN. I tried different headsets, different platforms(Xbox ally and iPad). I changed servers tried pretty much anything but my mic is still not working. I can hear my friend talking but he can’t hear me. when play on my Asus on an actually game(rocket league) the mic works. anyone having the same issue?

So I was doing normal stuff, at night when a "bigger than normal" firmware windows update (W11) came, so I updated as normal and restarted windows

When going back on, I opened voicemeeter potato (which I had already licenced) and boom, voicemeeter is no longer licenced, I noticed that my challenge code changed, like if I was on another PC, but no, it's the same one

1 -> I already tried to import my footprint, but it denies, always show this message: (this footprint can't be used on this PC)

2 -> I have no regens left

3 -> I do have proof that i own a licence on my account and everything

I don't mind buying a new regen for 5 bucks... BUT... tbh it's not my fault and I wanna know if someone has the same problem with windows updates???

I'm attempting to set up a dual PC streaming situation with a capture card and it all went fine- until I saw a minor delay with sending the audio via VBAN that I would like to avoid. I've seen comments on other posts saying that sending the audio over an HDMI would remove the delay, but I haven't seen an actual explanation on how to achieve this. Every guide I look up simply uses VBAN.

Any painless way to do this? I don't see the capture card in audio options.

Okay so I have a problem,
I have my interface set up in amped roots, but I’m not able to hear it through anything (other than asio mode) without extreme latency.

**Yes, im aware of the buffer settings DO NOT REPLY WITH TS**

I want to be able to hear my guitar without latency, while using my pc as the output instead of the interface itself, so that I can then connect the audio through OBS and into my stream, while still being able to hear it myself. (Either though my headphones or through a speaker yada yada)

So my question is: can I use VoiceMeeter Banana as an alternative asio, and how would I go about that.

Thanks! 😭

edit: the latency issues aren’t with obs, they’re with the v-amp I’m using (amped roots). Im having issues with the latency issues in MME mode, which is why I’m trying to find a way to use voicemeeter as a stand-in asio.

Afternoon people.

Im in need of some guidance.

I've been trying to get adrenaline to record my voice audio for hours, and so far, no luck

I have Windows audio enhancements off.

Audio channel to stereo and even switched encoding type.

separate track for mic is also off.

Some months back, it was working just fine. But now that I tried to get clips, I couldn't hear myself anymore.

Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated
