(We'll see how to create a shortcut for that later) Discord SetupĪll you need to do on Discord is to change your input device to voicemeeter's virtual output. This is where you'll toggle whether or not you want your friends to hear your desktop audio on Discord. You'll notice that, if you disable A1 on that strip, you'll stop hearing your desktop audio.Įnabling B1 will route the audio from the desktop to the virtual output that we're gonna use on Discord. We are going to select one of them as our default output, it doesn't really matter which one but you have to remember the one you select in case you want to do the optional step at the end.Īs always, I'm going to select the first strip (not the AUX one) just so it looks more organized.Īfter you do this, you'll note that the bar on the strip we select will move, showing us that it's indeed capturing our desktop audio: You should see two Voicemeeter devices, they represent the strips 3 and 4.

Right Click your volume icon and select Playback Devices Leave B1 enabled, this B1 output is what we'll use as our microphone in Discord, so if you want people to hear your microphone this must be enabled. 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.
