How To Set Up Voicemeeter With Communication Software Skype and Discord

[@mook9579]

Been having A LOT of trouble with my friends on discord hearing my sound from KZbin,netflix etc Just finished this video so hoping they can now hear!!! Fingers crossed.

[@LegendOfZenith]

This is a really handy tutorial. I already upgraded my mic setup but I'll share this with my discord for anyone who can find this handy.

[@NeroTheHero]

Aw, thanks Zenith! You're a gentleman and a scholar :D

[@dekewarson5922]

I watched several videos on setting this up so I can easily cut out Discord when needed. This one made it all click for me, thank's so much nice job!

[@NeroTheHero]

It was my pleasure! I'm so glad it helped you out :D

[@NeroTheHero]

Just thought I'd share how I set up Voicemeeter. This was a desktop capture using Shadowplay, which doesn't have the best audio compression. Apologies for any hissing you may hear in the high end.

[@sevenofsin4185]

I dont have cable input under output devices in voice settings in discord. Have you run into this before and do you have a fix?

[@NeroTheHero]

Seven of Sin Did you restart after installing the virtual audio cable? Not restarting can really throw a wrench into things so make sure to do that! If you did restart and still aren't seeing anything... Maybe try to uninstall and reinstall the drivers (They should be under apps and programs if they were indeed installed)

[@sevenofsin4185]

Yeah so what happened was by not having the input device not set to default it wouldn't offer the option of cable input. Appreciate the quick response.

[@NeroTheHero]

No problem! Glad you got it working :D

[@madmaddox4255]

Thank you so much. I have had a lot of problems with voicemeeter banana since launch and this helped with a lot of them. Thanks again

[@NeroTheHero]

Hey! You're very welcome! It's always good to hear when one of these videos helps. Also, my apologies for the late reply... I work a lot XD

[@NeroTheHero]

***IMPORTANT!***: Make sure that VM's main output (Voicemeeter VAIO) is set as your default recording and playback devices. ALSO: if you followed the video, and are not able to hear anything, guess what? You did it wrong! See below for common fixes :) ✔️ Check your settings including output. Set your headphones / sound card as the hardware output (A1). ✔️ Make sure Voicemeeter VAIO (B1) is set as your default playback and recording device in the windows Sound Control Panel. ✔️ Make sure any channel you want outputing to your headphones (A1) is active (green). ✔️ If in doubt or if you updated W10 recently. Try uninstalling and reinstalling Voicemeeter (always restart after both).

[@ravdavidstudio]

I'm really new to this, but was looking for a way to jam on Skype with a friend by feeding my guitar and vocal clearly and directly without latency. is this the right app for that? sorry, just decided to come out of my cave. Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you.

[@noko1146]

When I select WDM or MME I can't get audio from my computer through my headphones. I select KS and it works but then there is a delay from my microphone when I hear myself speak (which is very annoying), and KS is the only option for hearing my PC. I have no clue what to do and any help would be appreciated. I have a virtual sound card which is USB because my headphone/mic jacks cause interference (a hissing noise) when trying to record my mic through those ports. Thanks.

[@NeroTheHero]

Sounds like an interesting set up! ❓Let's start with VM. Is it set as your default playback AND recording device? ❓Did you restart after the initial install? ❓Have you tried re-installing? ❓Would you also mind providing the make and model of the sound card itself? ❓Are you selecting the USB sound card as the hardware output (A1)? ❓Does your PC only have one 3.5mm audio jack? Or is there another one you can try? If so, what is the result? ❓Have you tried using a different USB port? ❓What OS do you have currently? Have you updated recently? ⚠️The delay with KS is most likely latency from the fact that the audio has to pass thru an additional device (the USB sound card) as opposed to delivering it straight to your headphones. I'm not home right now, but if you can work on getting me as much info as possible, the better I can help ya :D

[@spex6460]

How come my cables aren't showing up? I've downloaded them, ran as administrator. They don't show up in Voicemeeter.

[@NeroTheHero]

Did you restart after installing? That's most likely the cause. I would recommend doing that. If it's still not showing up, un-install everything VM related restart, install, and restart again

[@hologrms]

So everything works fine when voicemeeter is running, but if close the program I have no audio whatsoever. Am I meant to have voicemeeter running all the time when the computer's on?

[@NeroTheHero]

Yes you need to have VoiceMeeter up and running at all times in order to have it feed the audio to the devices. I usually just minimize it. Great Avatar by the way XD

[@repairrestore6440]

pls help... I watched 20 Tut... But all are Different and in all my frind can her trough discord ALLLLL sounds

[@NeroTheHero]

If your friends are hearing all your audio, then that means the source you selected as the mic is also grabbing the desktop audio. Or you have the desktop audio channel outputting to the same channel as your mic. Which would be B1 in the case of my tut. Check your settings, and make sure the Desktop audio input does NOT have B1 active.

[@nickedits438]

Okay so I'm stumped here... I'm trying to setup a Sennheiser GSX 1000 with Voicemeeter. Upon first plug in I found a hardware out that worked as it was previously just to my old Logitech headset, everything seemed to be good. After a little bit it seemed that something glitched and audio was stuck on 7.1 surround, then the hardware out no longer worked and I'm not getting any audio with the mix amp plugged in. Any suggestions?

[@NeroTheHero]

Hey there! That's very strange indeed, I've heard of weird glitches happening, but nothing like this exactly. Did you restart after installing VM? Not restarting has been known to cause issues. Sometimes the audio drivers simply don't take to the system, even if installed proper and a reinstall usually fixes it for me. Also did you make sure to set VM Input as your default recording source, and VM Output as your playback?

[@Amar-dq3xf]

Bro please help me when voice meeter is opened microphone works in discord mic test but when i turn off voicemeeter app it doesn t work.What to do.Please help bro.I am using headset

[@NeroTheHero]

You're supposed to leave VM open in order to process the audio. Otherwise if you want your mic to continue working in discord after you close it, you need to set your mic as the direct input for Discord.

[@rampadora3404]

You really are a hero. This is a big help for my skype esl tutorial job. thanks a lot. However, my problem is when I audio record my skype call with Amolto, I am getting echos of my voice and my student's voice as well. How do I fix this?

[@NeroTheHero]

Double check your settings. What is the mic input for Skype? It should be either Voicemeeter VAIO (B1) or Voicemeeter Aux (B2). If for example you used B1, you want to make sure that B2 is what's going to your recording software. I'm unfortunately not familiar with Amolto as I use Audacity to record all my auido. But you may want to double check the inputs for that as well.

[@dir7y]

Awesome Tutorial

[@williamhalimi]

Hello thnks for the tuto. I think.one point is missing in this configuration with Discord : selection of B2 output channel for Voicemeeter microphone channel1, either you will not be able to speak with Discord user as B2 channel is used as Discord microphone input channel. For Skype mucrophone input channel setting seems not correct : Voicemeter B1 channel is selected instead of B2 channel and in that case The Skype user will hear himself. Is it correct for you?

[@NeroTheHero]

william halimi Correct. Thank for pointing that out! I forgot to clarify that I usually have my discord set to B2 as output just as a preference. So as to have an additional layer of isolation if I so desire. Ticking B2 while in a call will allow my friends to hear me. Whereas B1 defaults to my local recording software. Setting your Skype and discord outputs to VM Vaio (B1) does indeed ensure that you can be heard during a call. Alternatively, to you can set your recording software to look for Aux Vaio (B2) by default. There's a few ways to set up your stuff, I should have changed that to B1 for the video to avoid confusion. Good eye!

[@Harmon1988]

How do I make it so THat someone on skype can hear audio from say youtube clearly as if they were watching it themselves? I have The potato version

[@NeroTheHero]

Unfortunately this guide is for Banana and not Potato. I did notice that there's a new version. I'll have to make an updated guide. I don't have any experience with it however as of yet. In Banana: Set the Skype input to be VoiceMeeter Output (B1). Once that is set, all you need to do is tick B1 for any source you want to come thru to Skype. Keep in mind that it will capture ALL desktop audio if you activate that channel.

[@ihcarus6835]

Please help, I followed all these steps, and when I use discord, people can hear themselves and my system sounds through my mic.

[@NeroTheHero]

NiiitroTv Hey buddy, sorry that's happening, I got that two when I first started messing with VM... So, under VMOUT do you have any other channels aside from B1 selected? Also, in discord, do you have the VM AUX output assigned to the input for discord? If so AUX is B2 and anything else that is also outputting to B2 will also get captured. Do you have Twitter? Shoot me a DM @N3r0theH3r0 with a screen shot of your setup and we can work through it and trouble shoot!

[@ihcarus6835]

[@bulletfastspeed]

I followed this exactly and got no sound into discord. Then I changed the input in discord to Voicemeeter Output insead of Voicemeeter Aux Output signal is brought it, but it fedback for some reason. Idk what the fix for this is.

[@NeroTheHero]

You can really do either or... VoiceMeeter Output = B1 Voicemeeter AUX Output = B2 If you're hearing feedback / echo it means you have the output assigned as the input or vice versa. If you want your input to be VM Output (B1) set it as input. Output can be either one of the audio cables I mentioned (which I highly recommend) or you can assign it to the default communication device which you should have assigned in the Sound Control Panel.

[@fortniteawesomeparodies2706]

On Discord, I have to have A1 for my Mic on for people to hear me, but this also makes it so I hear my own voice as well. What can I do to fix this?

[@NeroTheHero]

Sounds like you have A1 assigned as your input device in Discord. A1 is usually only for headphones or a hardware output of some sort. Ideally you want to have VoiceMeeter Output or B1 set as your mic input and A1 as your default audio output device (speakers, headphones, mixer, sound card etc).

[@fortniteawesomeparodies2706]

@@NeroTheHero I would do this, but I want to have B2 (auxillary) as the Discord Input, because 1. I am putting my Stream Deck through there and 2. I don't want people hearing everything that my windows are making (KZbin, Games, etc.). Now that I am using B2 instead, what should my Discord Output be selected as? By the way, I want to use VM Banana just to put my Stream Deck and my mic into one channel to use for a soundboard setup. I don't plan to use this to stream or record or anything.

You have to make sure to restart before attempting to assign it as an audio source. If it la not showing up that's most likely why.

[@NeroTheHero]

You forgot to say please... request denied. Just kiddin! Yeeah, that's a common mishap. You have to make sure that your OUTPUT device in discord is the same as the the INPUT device for your recording software which should be Voicemeeter (Output) VAIO or B1. That way it will record both you and your friends. Also double check and make sure that Voicemeeter VAIO is your default recording device, and not just your mic (see 2:45). If EVER in doubt, hop on a call with your friends, and record a sample in Audacity to listen back to. Hope that helps... now go forth and become legend! :D

it wont record any in game audio, or discord.... Hardware input one is my microphone (BM 800) My Hardware Input 2 is the Cable output VB, ive set my playback and recording up as you've shown, help me dude..... thanks

[@NeroTheHero]

PinkUnicorn Gaming It sounds like you have the right settings, so go back and triple check that they are correct. If it's still not working the only other thing I can suggest is that you reinstall the drivers and restart. Are you on the most recent version of Windows? If so there have been known issues where newer versions conflict with VM. So if you are still not getting anything coming through after all that , try reverting to a previous build.

[@NeroTheHero]

Hey there! The only thing I can really suggest is to double and triple check your settings. Also if the assigned device is not out putting properly in discord. It's very very very possible that the audio drivers need to get re-installed. I had this happen just the other day. I had my output device assigned to the Primary Virtual Cable Output, but nothing was coming through on the proper channel. Also, make sure whichever device you have set as the output for Discord has A1 ticked, which (if you followed this video) should be outputting to your speakers. That re-install usually does the trick, especially after a Windows update.... Best of luck to you!

[@CoolePandaBeer]

Hey man. In discord when I select my input device (Voice Meeter Aux Output (VB-Audi .....)) my mic doesn't work anymore. It used the work in the standard VoiceMeeter. Do you know how to fix it?

I don't think VoiceMeeter AUX is what you want. Try VoiceMeeter VAIO or Cable Input.

[@ethani6284]

hey so I am using my headphone mic (Hyper X Cloud Alpha) but my mic has too much background noise and way to quiet. How can I boost my mic volume but also reduce the background noise?

[@NeroTheHero]

Try using voiceneeters compression (intellipan) to boost your audio a bit. As far as background nose, try a noise gate, or apply noise reduction after recording.

[@ethani6284]

NeroTheHero it was on discord but yeah will try it and do you know how I can boost my mic level within windows 10?

[@NeroTheHero]

Ethan I Those tips apply to system audio as well :)

[@ethani6284]

NeroTheHero hey so if I were to raise the volume on my computer using a roller how could I set that roller to increase or decrease volume since I can only adjust it in Voicemeeter since that is my default playback device. Would the only solution be to switch the default device to my speakers?

[@NeroTheHero]

Ethan I Since it's your default playback all desktop audio should be coming through VM OUT (if you have it set up correctly). As far as audio coming from discord or Skype, the best way to isolate that is to simply set the output device as one of the cable outputs within the program in question.

[@Ben-ex6mk]

What if i want to hear my buddies, is that possible? also sorry for the late comment.

[@NeroTheHero]

Hey hey Hellcat, no worries! Yes you should be able to hear your buddies. Once you have VM set up as your audio source, and have chosen an output in discord (or your communication software of choice) , just make sure your hardware output (A1 in the video) is active.

[@NeroTheHero]

If your friends can't hear you in Discord, then it sounds like one of your input sources is off. TBH you can just set it to pull directly from your mic. Unless you want that compression in Discord. If you want Discord to pull from VM you gotta set Voicemeeter Output (B1) or Voicemeeter Aux Output (B2). Also also you have to make sure B1 or B2 (which ever you assigned is ticked on the mixer and lit up green.

Did you restart before installing? Also did you make sure to set VM as the default communication device in the sound control panel? Sometimes things just get borked because Win 10.

[@tobiasdijkhuis6531]

Hey, I was wondering if I could somehow use the edited audio by voicemeeter in discord to make me sound better for my friends. Thanks in advance.

[@tobiasdijkhuis6531]

Like, for example, not use the raw audio from my microphone, but put the edited audio from Voicemeeter through a virtual cable. Not the other way around, like you show in this video.

[@NeroTheHero]

That's a super good question, I actually had to tinker with VM to find an answer for ya: If you assign one of your Hardware OUTPUTs to a Virtual Audio Cable (A3 for example) ... Then under Hardware INPUT 1 (which should be your physical mic) tick A3 so that way the compressed audio can be isolated specifically to that channel as an output, while still allowing you to have a "main mix" using Voicemeeter VAIO (B1) / AUX VAIO (B2). Then, in discord you want to assign your INPUT device as the same VAC that you assigned to A3. ....and that should do it! Hope that's not too complicated.

[@tobiasdijkhuis6531]

NeroTheHero Jesus, you're fast. I think I understand what you mean, I'll take a look at it tomorrow morning since it's way too late to be doing stuff like that right now. I'll let you know if that worked or not. Because you're just very fast and have some good content, you just earned a sub

[@bitterebb]

Help i trying connect to discord the sound works but mic doesnt

[@NeroTheHero]

You can hear audio which is good, that means you are on the right track. Here's some general troubleshooting tips that hopefully will help. 1. Make sure that you set the mic as the hardware input (the drop down menu on the far left side of the mixer UI. 2. Make sure that Voicemeeter VAIO is your default audio device in the audio control panel. This is represented by B1 in the mixer. 3. Make sure that B1 is ticked and active on the mic input. This is an important step as it tells VM which audio to allow to pass through and be captured / heard. Note: It's very possible that you set everything up correctly. Sometimes Windows just doesn't play well with VM and things can sometimes get borked. So if nothing else works, try to uninstall the audio driver (restart) reinstall the audio driver, (restart again). Hope this helps ... If you run into any problems, don't hesitate to comment again. Best of luck!

[@NeroTheHero]

Yup! All you gotta do is tick "mute" on the repsective hardware input (your mic) and so long as Voicemeeter VAIO (B1) is the input for discord, you're golden.

You most likely have the hardware output active on your Mic. If you followed along it should be A1. Just untick that and you should be good to go.

[@GabeWilliams]

Why do you set them as default if you dont use default in discord? all i get out of this application is a bunch of glitchy robot-y audio that sounds like shit lmao.

[@NeroTheHero]

Setting it as default in the control panel is more of a fail safe so all recording / communication applications will know to look for VM as an input / Output. Robotic / Shitty sounding audio is usually a sign of one of two things: 1) Your audio stream is being corrupted. Try restarting VM, or switching between WDM, KS, MME. Or B) VM got borked while installing. To be safe, uninstall everything, restart, re install, and restart again. Hope you can get it working.

Clicking "set as default device" mutes all sounds coming from my PC. (2:43)

[@NeroTheHero]

Not sure what is causing that. Never ran into that before... Is your hardware output set up and active?

[@5hy]

@@NeroTheHero I followed all your steps and it's not working

[@NeroTheHero]

@@5hy We've had some pretty good results from others following the video, so I'm thinking there's something a miss in your set up. Are you able to provide a screen cap showing both your Voicemeeter configuration AND your Sound Control Panel? It's hard for me to figure out what's wrong from "It's not working" :) The most common / effective solution for it "not working" is to uninstall all VM related drivers, reboot, reinstall and reboot again. So I highly suggest trying that first.

[@NeroTheHero]

Are you using a mixer? Just a mic? Are your headphones plugged directly to the motherboard audio, or a sound card? Are you using the most recent version of Windows? Did you update Windows before or after attempting setting up VM? The more info I have about your set up, the better I can help... feel free to hop into the discord channel and share a screen shot :B

Hey. I sent you a DM on twitter regarding an issue I was having. Would love if you could help me out

[@shufflefly4383]

I keep hearing myself ????

[@NeroTheHero]

Is that a question? 😜

[@NeroTheHero]

In all seriousness, you probably just have one of your output channels on as an input. You want to make sure that ONLY sources you want to be grabbed by recording software is on B1 or B2 exclusively. Make sure that any audio you want to hear that is coming out of VM only hits your selected device (AX).

cant hear my own microphone lol

voicemeeter is so f ing confusing ive tried twice now to get it to work and it never does

[@NeroTheHero]

You're absolutely right it is confusing! Don't feel bad because 97% of the comments here are people who have had one issue or another... that said.. What specific issue are you having?

[@caubiy]

@@NeroTheHero ive done all the steps put all the inputs same as yours but no audio is coming out for discord, also when i change the voice meeter to default device i cant hear youtube at all

[@swfttyYT]

honestly didnt understand a thing. didnt help one bit.

[@NeroTheHero]

That's too bad... like I said though, just wanted to share how I set up my audio. For me I had to watch several videos on how to set it up before it clicked, maybe it'll be the same for you. Best of luck

[@ozze999]

I have a question. I have set this up so that i can run music ambience for my friends when we play d&d and stuff. They can hear the music just fine, but they also hear themselfs double. How do i fix this, so that they dont get their own voice but just whatever i play on my pc? thanks in advance

[@NeroTheHero]

Check your inputs. The reason they can hear themselves is because you have VM looping the audio back through your communication software. If you aren't recording (and assuming you set it up correctly) then all you'd technically need to do is have A1 (hardware out) active, so you can hear thier audio.

[@ozze999]

@@NeroTheHero Thanks for the reply! I removed b1 and b2 on cable output. That seemed to help. Then the voicemeter VAIO virtual input b1,b2 seems to control if they can hear my music or not. Thank you!

[@NeroTheHero]

No problem. It's a bit confusing at first especially since there's no physical audio cables to work with ( also what you tried to do is actually a bit more advanced than a standard set up) once you get your head wrapped around it, you start to see how capable to tool is. I may do a tut specifically for creating a "DJ" set up like you have there, virtual audio cables. Enjoy VM in the meantime, and. Much success :)

[@tokyo9216]

i hear echos in discord how do i fix?

[@NeroTheHero]

The output for discord is also set as your input or vice versa. For example: Your mic is on B1 but your discord speaker out put is also B1. Just put them on different channels and you should be fine.
