With this option deselected, you'll note that the bar moves when you talk but you can't actually hear yourself. Since we don't want to hear ourselves, let's disable A1 (our headphones) on that strip, so the audio doesn't get routed back to us. Let's use the first strip for this, like the usual.Īs soon as you do this, you'll notice that you're already able to hear yourself. With this in mind, next step:Ī1, A2, and A3 are hardware outputs, they are the ones who'll physically play the sound for you in your home so you can actually hear it.ī1 and B2 are virtual outputs, they'll output the audio internally so other applications can pick it up. Remember we selected our headphones under the A1 option? This means that if A1 is selected, all audio on that specific strip is going to be played through A1 (your headphones). A1 A2 A3 B1 B2 mono solo and MuteĮxcluding the last three ones, which have obvious functions, the others all dictate where the audio in that strip is going to be routed to. You can note that next to each strip, you have 8 buttons. Select the Primary output of your choice (In this case, I'm gonna select my headphones).You can click any strip you want, A1 A2 or A3. Voicemeeter Setupįirst of all, as you might have noticed: The software is asking us for a hardware output, you can note this by the blinking red 'Select Main Output Device' on the top right of the app. This allows you to stream your desktop audio and talk while in a call, without your partners hearing themselves. confusing.The goal is being able to mix your microphone and desktop audio into a single track, while leaving Discord out of the equation. it's obviously the headset! The whole point of this headset is to be able to talk to others easily, so this is. Update: I tried using the in-game voice chat function yesterday and got the same exact horrible noise coming through! So it's not just Discord. I cannot seem to find the right combination to make the Voice Chat come in clearly. I've checked as many of the audio settings as I can, turning some on, turning some off, in both Discord and Synapse. (I even had to mute a game entirely to try and hear my friends better, and it didn't help.) All audio sounds good and crisp when I'm simply playing a game or listening to any other audio, but Discord Voice chat is almost painful to use because of the noise. The mic works great, everyone can hear me, but there is horrific audio crackling and general noise coming through the headset only on my end. I recently bought a Kraken Kitty Edition and I love it! Except when trying to talk to people on Discord.
