First of all, your DEFAULT Playback devices will need to change to point to the VoiceMeeter devices.ДЄs you can see there are two вЂVB-Audio VoiceMeeterвЂ™ devices, one entitled AUX VAIO and one just VAIO. Once installed, that is when things need to change.

This is an important step, it allows the software to intercept system audio at a very low level in the system.

You will be told that you need to provide permission for some device drivers to be installed into Windows.

How to Set Up VoiceMeeter BananaДЇirst, you are going to install the software. But it isnвЂ™t that hard once you really understand what is happening and what you have to do to make it work correctly. So the questions is how do you set all of this up? If anyone has tried to install this before or has used Audio Cable before, you quickly realize that there is scant documentation, it installs вЂshimsвЂ™ into the Device Manager on Windows to intercept audio within the system and isnвЂ™t really intuitive at all. With a click of a mouse I can change where my audio goes, adjust volume levels, set up noise gates, do basic equalizing, etcвЂ¦ As you can see, this is very powerful stuff. Right now, my Microphone is set to A3 (my capture card) only, while my system audio is going to both A1 (my speakers) and A3 (my Avermedia card). The buttons on the right of the Fader Boost levels can be selected to tell the mixer which output the sound goes to. My outputs then go to Hardware out A1 (my speakers), A2 (my headphones) and A3 (my Avermedia card, sending the audio with my video card capture through HDMI to my streaming PC). My system sounds, including game audio, Discord voice communications, etc are all piped through Virtual Input Voicemeeter VAIO. I happened to have this from some previous music recording needs, the microphone input could very well be any basic microphone or USB microphone, like a Blue Yeti.

I found the software because I figured someone has to have encountered similar limitations to WindowsвЂ™s limited audio mixing capabilities and sure enough, someone had and they coded up a very good solution.ДЄs you can see in my configuration I have an AudioBox USB device from PreSonus that allows for 2 inputs and sends the output to the PC via USB. With a microphone that has a 3.5 cable, I can use a splitter, but if my microphone is a USB mic? It gets complicated. Just game audio is fine, but if I want to add a Microphone? I have to plug a microphone into the streaming PC and use it, which limits the ability to use the same microphone for Discord, in game chat, and any other needs I might have on my gaming PC. One of the more annoying things about this configuration is getting audio from my gaming system to the streaming PC without going through a lot of cable splitting, mixers, etc. I have a streaming PC that I use for my streaming. LetвЂ™s take a quick look at my current configuration using VoiceMeeter Banana: In fact, they can be used together to even FURTHER the capabilities of your audio system, Virtual Cables can be used as input and outputs in VoiceMeeter Banana.

#Voice meter Patch#

Virtual Cable does a quick down and dirty patch to literally create a virtual cable within Windows, but VoiceMeeter provides much more and should really be the way to go for anyone wanting to do professional sounding mixing or just want to have greater control over what is going on with the audio in their computer. The best thing is that it is provided as donation-ware, meaning there is no up-front costs or limitations to the software, you give money to the author if you decide you find it meets your needs and to help further the software and new projects by the developer.ДЇor those who use Virtual Cable, this software is written by the same author and provides a lot more control and functionality. Beyond that, the software also allows for patching the inputs through VST instrument and effect plugins for even more control over the way your audio sounds. This should meet just about anyoneвЂ™s audio needs, especially streamers. VoiceMeeter Banana allows you to take input from up to 3 hardware devices and 2 software applications and mix them together, sending that output to up to 3 hardware devices and 2 software devices while also having recording functionality. There is an alternative-В a software based mixer from VB-Audio called VoiceMeeter Banana. So, youвЂ™reВ streaming and have some audio needs that arenвЂ™t met with WindowsвЂ™s limited mixing capabilities and are thinking of buying an expensive mixer to configure your audio setup?
