Seriously, this is THE BEST explanation/guide on how to set up VM and OBS while letting you use VM to make your mic sound better. Thank you for doing this, I've watched so many videos on this trying to figure it out. You made it VERY easy!

[alexbreugelmans]

I watched tons of tutorials, never really grasped the essence. Now I understand everything! Thanks a lot!!

I recently upgraded PCs and forgot how to set up everything (I had set it up back in 2019 I think), but this video was a really nice refresher and well explained. For some reason, my old blue yeti did not work, but maybe it's a sign to buy a brand new one :D thx m8! Subscribed to show support and appreciation.

when i test my audio on discord i get crackling, i followed all steps exactly up to 6:24 when i heard the cracking!!
that being said, EVERYTHING ELSE is working perfectly, extremely easy to follow video! saved my life!! the problem is definitely with discord itself.

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you for taking the time to help. I also subscribed to you on Spotify. Good stuff! Thanks.

Something to keep in mind. ALL MICROPHONES ARE MONO DEVICES. Even professional XLR microphones are a MONO DEVICE. If you are plugging it in and getting a dual channel signal it has already been processed and split.

There’s no sound on the videos when I’m checking them on obs

subbed because of the astros hat lol haven't even made it 2 seconds into the video

Maybe I'm just not getting it. I want to isolate browser audio from my stream since I often have a video playing in the background between instances/loads in game. But I am failing to see how to do this while still receiving the audio on my end.

i think you skip the youtube part...how to enable youtube ??thank you!

[kiskachan]

hai hai, so i have my microphones set up with filters and equalizers in OBS. whenever i route my microphone to go through VM all of my microphone settings in OBS do not get taken into consideration and i get a really poor quality sound. so as an option, if i am just using my microphone through OBS can i leave it there and not have it routed through VM specifically when i stream?

How do I get rid of all the discord’s except one showing in the tracks ?

[travls_]

the only thing i cant get to understand is the levels of volume on each thing like thelevel of volume on my usb mic discord obs is all different and i just hear hella background shit like its to sensitive

[mycloh]

will this work for the newest obs? 29.1

The crackling, the constant restarting to make it work even restarting whole pc sometimes to get rid of it and this is what made me move over from VM to Sonar and I actually wish I did it sooner. Easier, faster, no crackling and two virtual cables for free and if it isn't working a simple refresh works and its good to go again. Gutted because lets be honest VM looks great and it looks professional and once you've understood how it works and how to set it up its great and makes you feel like a whiz kid but the constant failures of that program is just a no go.

The sound from my PC goes into my mic even though I am using headphones. Do you know how to solve it?

[sinnamon]

I can get voicmeeter potato to work with OBS, my issue is that my guitar and microphone do not sync up with audio from a youtube video when I try to play along. My guitar and mic seem to have a delay and I can not figure out how to fix it. I tried adjusting the offset sync time and that did not work.

[mistersadaimusic]

I'm curious as to why you didn't use the ASIO option as your hardware out. Does it cause issues with OBS?
