This is EXACTLY the solution I was looking for for my microphone - everybody had other solutions including 3 or more other programs to route the audio. I can see it possibly being an issue on a stream deck, but for my purposes, I'm super pleased.
Awesome! Worked very easily. I'm in a noisy room already and no A/C so I have a fan running, especially when gaming. OBS noise suppression filter is incredible and gets rid of all that automatically without distorting my voice or cutting me off so I'm glad I can use that in Discord and in-game
when i chose in discord that i want my input to be the virtual cable, i clicked on test then it says : discord isnt detecting any input from ur mic. plz help me fix it. Edit i figured it out, i shoudve keept it in obs the monitor and output and thx for the good contant.
Sorry, this is over two years old now but this techincally works for me. But I ofc hear myself now when I talk? Discord finally recognizes it, but I can hear myself every time I talk.
Dude You can use Equalizer APO and add the reaper VST plugins directly on the mic, Then you won't even have to use VST plugins in the OBS it's already on it.
hi! currently taking your advice because i want to stray away from the video's method. which reaper plugin do you think is the equivalent of OBS' RNNoise?
I finally got tired of voicemeeter crackling this SAVES MY LIFE. BUTTTT is there a way to hear myself while doing it? I tried just toggling listen to on the output but it's so quiet and delayed PLEASE HELP. Also since I'm moving from VoiceMeeter to OBS is there an alternative to Virtual Audio Cable? I need more then just one cable, without donating.
Thank you this was a helpful video. I'm trying to figure out how to use OBS and Tal-Reverb 4 to add some reverb to my voice when I'm singing on zoom. I downloaded all 3, but I have no idea how to make them all work together. Can you make a video on that subject. I'm sure a lot of singers/worship leaders would tune into that. Thank You! :)
thank you so much for this. i tried doing this before and got it working a few times but it'd always break somehow and i never knew how i got it working in the first place. this is so clear and easy to understand and i think i know what to do now. awesome video
The mic sounds really good for me in obs, then when i use the listen feature in discord, It sounds very weird. Not sure if its the Virtual cable or what
So how do I stop hearing myself while I’m playing the game ? I don’t understand ? I loaded into Warzone and selected the VAC for microphone input but I can hear myself talking thru my headphones ?
Great video. I can't get Discord to recognize the Virtual cable. Nothing comes through. What am I doing wrong? I followed all the step, Virtual cable is the monitoring device...
..yeah so this doesn't work, any time I have the vb cable enabled, one it doesn't pick up my mic, and two it mutes discord for seemingly no reason until I disable it.
Ok so i downloaded the vb audio cable and when I put the monitoring device as the cable input i cant hear myself and i have the mic properties as monitor input and output
It is easier than using Reaper... But I can't fix the ever increasing voice latency that is driving me insane. The only partial solution is restarting OBS but that is a terrible solution.
Great tutorial! I got it working! Only downside is that my SoundAlerts and Widget Sounds are playing on Discord and doesn't play on stream. Is there a way to have SoundAlerts and Widgets play on stream and not on Discord? If there is another or separate method, feel free to join in on this conversation
for anyone who has the problem with you cant use it without hearing yourself go to ur volume mixer on ur task bar and mute the cable boom i just found it out please pin this for anyone who needs help mr youtube guy
I have an audio interface and I’m trying to play my guitar and sing but would it put effects to my guitar? Because I’m trying to put reverb on my mic only
It doesnt work for me, i cant hear myself when i use the "Let's Check" option in Discord. I did everything as you before. I use a Blue Yeticaster pro connected with USB. HELP!
Found this on reddit, works for me In OBS Settings --> Audio --> set the monitoring device to "CABLE input" In OBS main window, you need your mic device set to "Monitor and Output" ( Mic Device --> Gear icon --> Advanced Audio Properties --> Select Mic Device). In Discord settings --> Voice & Video --> set the input device "CABLE output". If needed, adjust Discord input sensitivity in the same settings. (recommended to turn off Auto setting and pulling the sensitivity bar all the way to the left. Also disabling all the processing under "Voice Processing".) Fill in before posting. Definitely fill in this one before posting or his PC will literally melt into and through the floor. Oh-oh, it's working!! But why?!!! Nobody knows... nobody knows. Forever keep OBS open while using Discord voice chat. Otherwise, it'd be too easy. Toooo easy.
It sounded really clear on OBS but when I put it through the VBCable it became really crackley and kept cutting out when I heard it back on discord. Does anyone know how to fix it?
i dont think i get it, if you use the VST reaper plugins THROUGHT OBS, it just fixes the microphone for all other applications? or you still need the Virtual cable on top of that?
I tried this method with Discord. I had both my guitar, and mic coming through Discord using that audio cable, and was also streaming with someone; figured it'd be nicer if their stream also had my mic filters and could hear my guitar when they took breaks. When I heard back the audio, however, my mic quality sounded more diminished than normal without any filters at all on their stream, as well as my guitar. My theory is OBS isnt meant to be used as a standalone DAW, but idk. Any tips or advice anyone?
Using vb-audio cable added this weird, higher pitched static as my noise gate fades out the sound (it does fade out with the gate though). It's not the worst thing because at least the obs filters work, but how do you think I can get rid of that? I tried adjusting my filter settings, but it is always there before the gate kicks in when I stop talking. I can't shorten the gates release time or else it will cut my words off too harshly. Thank you! My mic sounds way better now anyway. Had pretty bad low-pitched static noise without filters.
Thanks! But now my OBS is acting weird and doesn’t record my voice no more? Someone? And if i do cable i hear the blicky discord quality IN my obs! WHAT HAPPENED 😂
This is EXACTLY the solution I was looking for for my microphone - everybody had other solutions including 3 or more other programs to route the audio. I can see it possibly being an issue on a stream deck, but for my purposes, I'm super pleased.
THANK YOU, NOW I DON'T HAVE TO USE VOICEMETER
I'm still gonna use reaper just because I took all the time to learn everything about it but i'll definitely recommend this to people
i did it all and have the VA cable selected on discord and OBS open but no sound in discord
i follow your guide bubt in discord when i choose input to Virtual Audiocable and MIC is silent...no sound, why is that
Awesome! Worked very easily. I'm in a noisy room already and no A/C so I have a fan running, especially when gaming. OBS noise suppression filter is incredible and gets rid of all that automatically without distorting my voice or cutting me off so I'm glad I can use that in Discord and in-game
My mic gets a delay that increases over time through discord. Does anyone know how I can prevent this?
Thanks man! this made my razer kraken mic sound SO much better than it already is, the noise suppression was the best part
Why did I not think of this? I've been using OBS studio for years and always have it running. I feel dumb for not thinking of this sooner.
OBS is such a nice tool to have. You can do so much with it
@@ViLeFreT yo i got it working on discord but how can i still use it even though i xlosed my obs
As raw as this video was. It made it easier to understand

Edit i figured it out, i shoudve keept it in obs the monitor and output and thx for the good contant.
thx mate, had the same issue and your fix made it work again. (it was working for months and suddenly stopped)
Thank you so much, this was the missing piece of the puzzle. Can finally not have to have so many things open while streaming :D
still doesnt work for me mine also just randomly stopped working, it was working for months
How you fix it? I could not understand very well what you said, English is not my native language. Please help me. I have the same problem
Sorry, this is over two years old now but this techincally works for me. But I ofc hear myself now when I talk? Discord finally recognizes it, but I can hear myself every time I talk.
doesn't work, installed the V-Cable already and set it up on my obs even to discord , but no feedback on my discord when V-cable is selected
the virtual adio cable dose not pick up eny audio help
When I put Cable Output as my mic on discord, discord doesn't detect my voice. What do I do?
Same problem here

Ayo good looks fam! My OBS sound is dialed in but i didn't know how to use it in OBS. Thanks brah
how did you fix the discord no audio problem
Awesome, this is much less annoying than reaper! Thanks.
The plugins are not from obs bro, nice tutorial btw. Keep it up!
I have a question, do I have to keep OBS on when I go to my voice channels?
The mic sounds really good for me in obs, then when i use the listen feature in discord, It sounds very weird. Not sure if its the Virtual cable or what
yeah same
Same
same it has like a distortion or buzzing sound
The listen feature in discord sucks. I tried to listen to myself using that feature and theres lot of buzzing sound coming from it
Thank you. You just saved me hours of mucking about. Thank you.
it didnt worke for me when i selected my mic then i cold hear my self clear but when i selected the visual cabel then it didnt worke
pls help
thank you for this video it's helped me alote
People can't hear my voice on Discord when changing to the cable, what do I do?
How can I make it sound like my voice is in the background? Like in another room or next to me on the couch.
Just what I needed! Thank you for this.
But if you do this then you cant hear your Alerts for example because they have to be monitored
Tried it and it worked! Thanks my dude
Thank you, but for reasons I don't know, whenever I use the VB cable on discord the sound glitches and works bad
very nice. picked it apart for my setup and your notes with some other videos did what I needed. thank you.
Awesome, I'm glad to hear it!
When I switch to the vbcable Im not getting any input playback, I made sure they're both at 48kHz and im not sure why its picking up
So how do I stop hearing myself while I’m playing the game ? I don’t understand ? I loaded into Warzone and selected the VAC for microphone input but I can hear myself talking thru my headphones ?
Great video. I can't get Discord to recognize the Virtual cable. Nothing comes through. What am I doing wrong? I followed all the step, Virtual cable is the monitoring device...
same for me
same, I think the way to fix it lies in the weird cut off in the video lol
same problem
@@Kai_Ubi Yo that fixed it for me, i turned it off and was getting no feeback. I turned monitoring back on and hear myself finally!
@@zlee415 not for me same problem
smart & creative way to do this. thanks brother
Thank u so much bro hope u have a great day and u got urself a sub
When I listen to the live feedback in Discord, it sounds robotic and cuts off my voice but it sounds completely fine in OBS.
ask one of your friends to test call you, the live feedback on Discord is scuffed but it seems to be okay when in a call
Same
ever found a solution for it ?
Make sure your echo cancellation and all the settings in discord are turned off
did you fix it?
this is the best one out there. Thank you tons
how do I get the virtula adio cable?
Thanks I’ve got it working but it sounds terrible and messes things up. Is there a different way?
How do you fix the issue you had with obs not picking up the sound, it's happening to me
..yeah so this doesn't work, any time I have the vb cable enabled, one it doesn't pick up my mic, and two it mutes discord for seemingly no reason until I disable it.
Ok so i downloaded the vb audio cable and when I put the monitoring device as the cable input i cant hear myself and i have the mic properties as monitor input and output

everything worked except the last step. discord just doesn't pick up the sound. not sure why

@@zlee415 not for me i have done this before but it just stopped working
Does anyone know if this would work while streaming?
why does discord doesnt pick up the reverb effect. All is working fine its just that discord cant pick up the effect from obs idk why
Great video man! I can't find my reverb vst 2, do you know if obs allows this?
It worked on me before but now i reinstalled windows and i repeated the steps and it's not working anymore
Do i have to have obs open all the time for the mic effects to apply?

Unless the guitar and your vocals are recorded on separate channels, it would add effects to both of them.
what are virtual audio settings and also you paid for VB or download Hi Fi
It works but there's no filters from OBS, How can I fix this?
My problem is that if I don’t put monitoring on in obs then my mic wouldn’t pick up

On OBS it works fine but when i select the virtual audio on discord it doesn't work, anyone that can help?
problem i have it makes a echo. in discord
The filters only work WHILE you are in OBS.
Does anyone know any way to monitor yourself through OBS while you use this? As soon as I tried I was not able to monitor.
turn on monitor only not monitor and output
uh help`? nothing comes out when i turn it in discord on
it gives static sounds with my voice in the back
when i use the vb audio on discord no sound comes out
i dont think i get it, if you use the VST reaper plugins THROUGHT OBS, it just fixes the microphone for all other applications? or you still need the Virtual cable on top of that?
the Virtual cable transports the filters from obs to there

yeah u should be able to make the input the cable
Do i have to press record on obs?
No, but OBS does need to be running for this to work
everything works untill i get it to discord i have watched the video 3 times now and its not the monitor and output thing
Am I supposed to turn the OBS on everytime?
yes
thats good tutorial
it's not working for me :(

Constantly running

Will it still work even if I close obs? and hi from 2021, its still corona :D
no, OBS has to be open
