VoiceMeeter FAQ

From voicemeeter.xyz/download.html. The current installer is VoicemeeterSetup_v2310.zip, served directly from this site — no mirror, no account, no download wrapper. The package installs VoiceMeeter on Windows 10 and Windows 11 in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions.

Yes. VoiceMeeter is free to download and free to use. Banana and Potato offer optional paid licenses that remove the donation reminder; Standard has no paid license at all.

Standard: 3 input strips — 2 hardware plus 1 virtual VAIO — with 5-band EQ, noise gate and compressor. Banana: 5 input strips (3 hardware + 2 virtual), full patchbay routing, advanced EQ, gate/compressor buses and 3 hardware output buses; the most popular edition for streaming and conferencing. Potato: 8 input strips (5 hardware + 3 virtual: VAIO, VAIO AUX, VAIO Bus), integrated multitrack recorder and VBAN streaming. Each edition includes the previous one. Full comparison on the Banana and Potato pages.

Yes — Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and 11, 32-bit and 64-bit. Windows only: there is no native macOS or Linux build. macOS users route audio with tools such as BlackHole or run VoiceMeeter in a Windows VM.

Download VoicemeeterSetup_v2310.zip, unzip it, right-click the installer and run it as administrator so the virtual audio drivers register, then reboot when asked. Afterwards set bus A1 in the VoiceMeeter menu to your real speakers or headset. Full walkthrough: install guide.

Two usual causes. Either A1 is not set to a real output device, or an exclusive-mode application still holds the device. Fix: open the VoiceMeeter menu, set A1 to the speakers or headset you actually use, then System Tray → Restart Audio Engine. Windows default playback should be VoiceMeeter Input.

In the conferencing app set the microphone to VoiceMeeter Output and the speaker to VoiceMeeter Input if you want the call inside the mixer. In VoiceMeeter route your microphone strip to bus A1 and the VOIP virtual strip where needed. Banana has the strip count and the buses this needs; Standard does not.

In OBS add an Audio Input Capture and select VoiceMeeter Output as the microphone, then set OBS desktop audio to VoiceMeeter Input so game and media audio passes through the mixer. Potato adds a multitrack recorder plus extra buses for a complete broadcast router.

VoiceMeeter's built-in low-latency audio-over-LAN protocol. It streams audio between VoiceMeeter instances on the same network and to VBAN Talkie mobile apps — a phone becomes a wireless microphone or an extra output destination.

VB-CABLE is one virtual pipe: a single input/output device pair. VoiceMeeter includes virtual audio devices plus the mixer: strip EQ, gate, compressor, patchbay, multiple buses and VBAN. Need only a pipe → VB-CABLE. Need routing and processing → VoiceMeeter.

Yes. It is a long-established Windows audio product, and voicemeeter.xyz serves the current installer package directly — no repackaging, no ad-wrapped downloader. Check that the file you receive is named VoicemeeterSetup_v2310.zip and skip third-party mirrors or executables hosted in video descriptions.

Yes — VoiceMeeter includes an ASIO bridge. The DAW attaches to the VoiceMeeter ASIO driver while system audio plays through the VAIO strips, so DAW output can be mixed with game or media audio and captured by any recorder.

A small amount, typically a few milliseconds with a WDM device and a 512-sample buffer. Lower the buffer for live monitoring; raise it if you hear dropouts or crackling.

Yes. They use separate device names and separate settings files, so all three can coexist. Two builds of the same edition replace each other.

In XML settings files belonging to each edition, plus a registry entry pointing at the last used file. Use the menu's Save Settings to snapshot a known-good routing before you change anything.

Run the uninstaller from Windows Settings, reboot, then remove leftover VAIO virtual devices in Device Manager under Sound, video and game controllers. The reboot between steps is what clears the device graph.

Yes. Set A1 to the headset output, route the microphone strip to A1 and fold system audio in through the VAIO strip. The single jack carries the finished mix; no second interface needed.

The same product. VoiceMeeter is the display name; Voicemeeter is the spelling used by the virtual devices and by most search queries. Either way, the download hub is voicemeeter.xyz.
