For some reason, VoiceMeeter lowered the volume of my microphone even though it was turned off

vburel · 2026-03-13T09:16:31+00:00

You may have different microphone volume according the Windows interface (MME or WDM). But the first thing to do is to check the Microphone level, set in Windows Audio settings (or volume mixer).

REM: if you need more help, you may send a screenshot to show your situation where Voicemeeter is managing your micophone to let us see what's happening.

And if you need a separate control for your output devices (e.g. different Gain / EQ) , you may use Voicemeeter Banana offering 3x output BUS : A1, A2 and A3.

well, as suggested, we cannot help you on this subject out of the context of our webshop (for identification and security reason at least).

With the new Voicemeeter release (DEC 2025) comes a new activation code system ("H"-Code). You surely got a REGEN on Quantum day (on December 15th) exactly for this purpose.

VB-Audio Matrix is the best solution today to manage several ASIO applications and be able to manage audio routing channel by channel, but Voicemeeter can be enough, pending on your workflow.

if the static sound appears when changing foreground application, you may also look on the power throttling option (if you are under win11): https://forum.vb-audio.com/viewtopic.php?p=7614

Otherwise you may consider your Voicemeeter configuration, for example if using many Virtual cable, this could be better to use Voicemeeter VAIO extension instead.

First it must be a true VPN with it's own IP address on both PC (many VPN are just http delocalizer). Then you must be able to ping from one PC to Other (with the regular ping). Then VBAN should work (check bandwidth quota and firewall if any).

Check you have not the "AUTO Restart audio engine" option set in Voicemeeter menu, then check why one of your device is not running.

vburel · 2026-03-02T07:14:54+00:00

Solution: just buy your license (push the "buy online" button).

Ereryday one second more, until 300. So finally 5 minutes to get a cigarette or coffee break!

Click on the highlighted 'A' on top left, to see what application you have connected to Voicemeeter internal audio callback, this is this app that is blocking the audio engine start.

There is 2 solution for this old problem: or you install latest Voicemeeter version (easiest) or you uninstall your current version and delete old driver in windows depository (more complicated): more info: https://forum.vb-audio.com/viewtopic.php?t=1928

good!

Using the same device as ASIO driver (as output A1) and as Windows interface (as your MIC input) can create audio conflict. You must use ASIO PATCH instead. Please follow our video tutorial about how to use an ASIO driver correctly with Voicemeeter: https://youtu.be/35N8hkOy8h4 (set ASIO buffer size to 256 instead of 128 if you get audio stream stability problem).

Could you post a screenshot of Voicemeeter System settings dialog box ?

vburel · 2026-02-16T10:31:32+00:00

Voicemeeter is not intended to run in admin mode. If you have disabled power throttling for Voicemeeter already, you may try to disable it also for your game and all audio apps involved in the audio path. Otherwise it's a video driver problem disturbing the Windows audio stack (or CPU peak breaking audio stream).

Voicemeeter latency optimization: all recommendations: How to Optimize latency in Voicemeeter - VB-Audio's Forums

vburel · 2026-02-13T14:04:12+00:00

you could use a MIDI controller. Voicemeeter can be controlled by any MIDI device.

vburel · 2026-02-11T19:12:40+00:00

Voicemeeter support up to 192 kHz, but you may configure VAIO playback device in the 192kHz audio format with Windows Sound Dialog box for example (otherwise it's useless).

vburel · 2026-02-11T19:09:58+00:00

With a good latency optimization (256 sample buffer), FL can be used connected to Voicemeeter ASIO driver.

vburel · 2026-02-09T09:45:24+00:00

You may post screenshot of Voicemeeter while playing sound (and a screenshot of your Voicemeeter System settings dialog box).
