If anyone is having problems not hearing your desktop. at 3:15 when he changes his output to his headphones, dont do that keep it at "VoiceMeeter Input". VoiceMeeter is very finicky, sometimes I can set the output to my headphones and it'll work, sometimes it doesnt.
I just installed voicemeeter banana on a new pc and I have 8 sound settings that all say the same thing "VB-Audio Voicemeeter VAIO" ... why? how can i tell the difference between them all???
I need you to help me lol, I had watched another video a couple months back and it worked where it wasnt showing in the VODS but then started showing up again. I just watched your video and did everything as you described however it is still picking up the stream music in "desktop audio".
Holy jesus this is confusing idk if my settings are messed up but I watched this like 5 times and copy everything to a T and still it doesn't work idk this is infuriating
okay... but im using a plugin that separated programs into their own audio channels so that i can control them separately. does this ONLY work if everything is going through desktop?...
I've followed this to a tee but the music is still coming through my "Desktop audio" which means it is being recorded and I cannot figure out what setting I have wrong. Can anyone help?
Hey man great video but i have a question, i've done everything as you said but now desktop audio fader is not moving but the mic/aux fader is picking up everything else. did i do something wrong?
Don't helped me sadly. i Already use Voicemeeter Potato for over a year now, and my Setup is based on Voicemeeter. So this way would fuck up my entire settings. :(
Hey I’m having an issue where Voice Meeter is crashing OBS after about ten minutes into my stream, I had to uninstall it all together. Could you maybe help me with this?
To anyone who can't understand why this tutorial isn't working for them, here's a video on how to do it if you DON'T have a mixamp. th-cam.com/video/gLN28N6cXow/w-d-xo.html
for some reason, my Spotify audio is still coming through desktop audio as well as its own audio track? i did everything in the video, however i am using streamlabs
I was able to follow along up to the 7 minute mark and at that point I got so confused that somehow nothing made sense to me anymore. Edit: Watched a bit more. 8:06 This isn't happening for me. It's showing up in desktop audio and the music audio channel

i dont know why when i download and install voicemeeter bannana, i havent this " virtual imput voicemeeter aux". directly i have a1 a2 and voicemeeter VAIO. just this :S
@Leo Sypniewski i fixed that, but now the point is ..in a1, when i choose my headset, i listen myself🤦🏻♀️🤣, i know there many options, i choose the "wdm" and dnt know why i listen my microphone. Sorry my english🙏😅
Hey so it’s been a few days and I’m realizing while my video does show how to properly get music onto it’s own track, the instructions on how to keep desktop audio separate may only be working for me because I’m using an Astro Mixamp. I made a new video showing how to properly route everything if you're still having issues: th-cam.com/video/-X5SSi4309s/w-d-xo.html
Proper fix: Desktop Audio (all applications except music) - Voicemeeter Output Music - Voicemeeter Input to Voicemeeter Aux Output A1 will still be your hardware Desktop Audio in OBS needs to be set to Voicemeeter Output Music will remain Aux (disable channel 2) Sorry for the mess up on that!
Sorry if this doesnt make sense but when I set it up it plays music on the spotify audio source and the desktop audio source. I don't know what i did wrong sorry
Hi, you know why when we use that, the recorded video on twitch are audio and video desync? I think only when we change the resolution, but this happen me
I did this tutorial and it works great, however my desktop sound won’t come through. So any game sound or twitch sound alerts won’t work. Apparently chat hears the sound alerts, but I can’t and no one hears the game. Any way around this?
for me it still plays audio in both. The thing is though, both my input and output for audio are through a usb mic. I dont know if that has anything to do wit it but the music wont only play in the spotify section of the vod track.
When i installed the software i couldn't find the software anywhere in the pc, so i ran the setup again but it said it was already installed so idk what to do
really good tutorial, worked really well. although when i use after effects or premiere, it says the output doesnt work when i set it to default output that i had before. but when i change the A1 in voicemeter to MME instead of WDM it works, buuuut then OBS picks up the audio from spotify into the desktop audio which ruins the whole point of using voice meter to route the music in the first place lol Edit: I'm also using Nvidie Voice which idk if that's messing it up somehow, but apparently if i applications that i would want as "desktop audio" to VoiceMeter Input then OBS picks it but seperate from music and i can hear it. as before, if i had it on default it would come out with AUX Input. idk why it works but it works...
Overall I would say voicemeeter is just a really weird software that doesn’t always work as intended. A lot of the times you’ll find yourself trying to fix something and doing everything right but the software just won’t act properly
@@LeoSypniewskiMusic yea its very weird and i dont fully understand it but i guess i found a workaround messing with it so all good i guess lol, i just have to change everything that i want to be on in the vod to voicemeter input
HELP for some reason when I go to output and hit advanced in the streaming tab there is no vod channel I have the latest version I was looking for a solution for so long and im pulling my hair out rn. Did they remove the feature?!?
i've watched this video over and over and even with great detail, i'm struggling to stop the audio being recorded. feel like im a User error but i think if i can't get something as simple as this to work, i will just quit streaming alltogether.
I know it was 3 months ago but don’t stop! It’s different for all PCs if you wanted to you could just use twitch soundtrack and change the audio track number and mark off the second channel
okay, i got it to work but now it stopped working and my vods are saving the music. i double checked all the steps and its still saving the music. is there a reason why? like when im playing the music, my desktop audio is picking it up on obs
Thank you thank you, I only had 1 problem and that was that voicemeeter wasnt picking up or wouldnt allow my interface to play my desktop audio through it soo i’ve had to compromise with ks vb-audio point 😕 but never the less it is basically there
make sure you open "voice meeter banana" and not "voice meteer" , the banana one should usually be in smaller text and below the regular voice meteer (if you are using the windows search to open it) that's what it was for me at least
Great tutorial! The only thing I would say is that you could still get a "live" strike, but the chances of that happening are very minimal. You would have to be a very large streamer with many eyes on you for the likeliness of that to even happen.
I’m realizing there may be steps missing because I have an Astro MixAmp that already has two channels. You’re going to have to use the other output of voicemeeter for the game audio to keep them separate in OBS, and then have that output go to A1
i had the same problem and it sounds really silly but the way i solved it was to actually start a music track so your options recognize spotify is currently as an audio source.. if you just open the app it won't show in the settings
i'm not 100% sure on StreamLabs, they might not have integrated this feature yet. That's why I stopped using StreamLabs, it's easier at first but OBS Studio offers more.
::Please Help:: Hey man I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. I have a question about utilizing this feature. Is it possible to use this on a dual pc (gaming/streaming) setup. I haven't found any info or tutorials on how to set it up using 2 PCs. Or if it's at all possible.
How do you do this with newer OBS - it doesn't have the Twitch VOD track option
It does under output
If anyone is having problems not hearing your desktop. at 3:15 when he changes his output to his headphones, dont do that keep it at "VoiceMeeter Input".
VoiceMeeter is very finicky, sometimes I can set the output to my headphones and it'll work, sometimes it doesnt.
how do i do that?
You're a lifesaver, thank you!!
is there a way to do this for OBS Streamlabs?
Literally the same steps. Almost to a T.
hmmm followed all these steps and OBS still seems to pick up stuff that i've set to be excluded from the VOD as Desktop audio. any solutions?
Did you ever manage to figure something out?
I watched 3 other videos with this tutorial and this was the only one that worked for me, thank you so much bro !!
Ok my studio from spotify is still going through desktop even though I did everything right (so it seems)
Try setting all of your PC output to voicemeeter output and setting Spotify to voicemeeter aux
@@LeoSypniewskiMusic This worked, thank you.
I just installed voicemeeter banana on a new pc and I have 8 sound settings that all say the same thing "VB-Audio Voicemeeter VAIO" ... why? how can i tell the difference between them all???
Dude, you're the man. Couldn't find a better explained tutorial. Thank you!

Great video. My issue now is that I can not hear any desktop audio with Voicemeeter open, anyone know how to fix this?
I'm also having this issue because I'm using thx synapse
Holy jesus this is confusing idk if my settings are messed up but I watched this like 5 times and copy everything to a T and still it doesn't work idk this is infuriating
i did everything on here, but for some reason when i launch voicemeter all of my audio cuts out. the only thing i can hear is my music
okay... but im using a plugin that separated programs into their own audio channels so that i can control them separately. does this ONLY work if everything is going through desktop?...
I've followed this to a tee but the music is still coming through my "Desktop audio" which means it is being recorded and I cannot figure out what setting I have wrong. Can anyone help?
I'm only getting VoiceMeeter AUX Input listed. How do I get Output as well?
Hey man great video but i have a question, i've done everything as you said but now desktop audio fader is not moving but the mic/aux fader is picking up everything else. did i do something wrong?

Needs help on the settings.... anyone?
yes
it crashed my pc 5 times ;[... not getting it now
system > sound > all devices will not give me the option for Itunes even after opening app and letting a song play. any tips for this?
i already used voicemeter for microphones, so how can i do this without ruining my outputs for voicemeter
i dont know why when i download and install voicemeeter bannana, i havent this " virtual imput voicemeeter aux". directly i have a1 a2 and voicemeeter VAIO. just this :S
i've found you may have to uninstall and reinstall it if all the output options dont show up - kind of a pain

great video clip i know can listen to all my music an not copyrihght i can still switch between all my audio

@@esorrahere that's what the comment above fixes!
pro tip: pin this comment so others can see :)
how do i do this if im streaming on youtube
followed steps, could not hear my music the whole time ... confused
The minute I open Voice meter I can’t hear any audio on desktop
I still can't hear game audio in the VODs even after this :(
thanks for making a video about it. but the explanation is a bit poor.
Hi, you know why when we use that, the recorded video on twitch are audio and video desync? I think only when we change the resolution, but this happen me
you may want to check your audio delay settings in OBS, sometimes video has a bit of delay on it compared to audio
I did this tutorial and it works great, however my desktop sound won’t come through. So any game sound or twitch sound alerts won’t work.
Apparently chat hears the sound alerts, but I can’t and no one hears the game.
Any way around this?
I'm having a similar issue now and I've spent all day trying to fix it, did you have any luck fixing this after and if so how?
when can we get this for youtube live ?
will this work with streamlabs obs
What I'm confused about is are you supposed to hear the music too yourself?
for me it still plays audio in both. The thing is though, both my input and output for audio are through a usb mic. I dont know if that has anything to do wit it but the music wont only play in the spotify section of the vod track.
I use voicemeter daily for better mic quality, but when I setup the AUX i can not here myself. Any fixes ?
jigachad tutorial
Thank you for this you utter legend
Ty so much man!!
trying to do this for spotify but spotify doesnt show up in the app volume device preference ;=;
Why are my game sounds now on the spotifyline if i do any thing in my game the volume goes high on spotify but why
Thanks i appreciate
this is outdated
didn't work
i cant hear anyone on discord unless its through voice meeter how can i change this?
3 years later... coming in clutch! thanks
This helped alot, thanks so much!!! Best guide ever tbh I tried a few others but they didnt explain as good as u :DDDD
When i installed the software i couldn't find the software anywhere in the pc, so i ran the setup again but it said it was already installed so idk what to do
Thank you!!! Your video is the best and you have a great voice!
does voice meter always have to be on in the background
also now im hearing myself in my mic
I dont have the VOD track option despite having the latest obs version ?
I love you
really good tutorial, worked really well. although when i use after effects or premiere, it says the output doesnt work when i set it to default output that i had before. but when i change the A1 in voicemeter to MME instead of WDM it works, buuuut then OBS picks up the audio from spotify into the desktop audio which ruins the whole point of using voice meter to route the music in the first place lol

shut up oscar
Perfect video, thank you so much!!
Can you do this on Streamlabs?
My desktop audio still picks up the audio ?
HELP for some reason when I go to output and hit advanced in the streaming tab there is no vod channel I have the latest version I was looking for a solution for so long and im pulling my hair out rn. Did they remove the feature?!?

Thank you :)
You're welcome!
Voice Meter Aux is missing. Does anyone know why?
Sometimes you have to reinstall it seems
make sure you open "voice meeter banana" and not "voice meteer" , the banana one should usually be in smaller text and below the regular voice meteer (if you are using the windows search to open it) that's what it was for me at least
If you can come up with a way to do this while having a dual PC setup through NDI...I'd love to try it.
Any way to do this with Xsplit?
Great tutorial! The only thing I would say is that you could still get a "live" strike, but the chances of that happening are very minimal. You would have to be a very large streamer with many eyes on you for the likeliness of that to even happen.
thanks, i needed this!
God Tier video brother, Thanks a ton!
Thank you!!
Thank you
How can someone dislike this!! Thank you
Music companies pissed off that they can't send DMCA strikes because of this?
I did everything you said but somehow the music on Spotify still goes through my desktop audio when I select A1. Is there a way to fix this?
I’m realizing there may be steps missing because I have an Astro MixAmp that already has two channels. You’re going to have to use the other output of voicemeeter for the game audio to keep them separate in OBS, and then have that output go to A1
just you need to set up Spotify to a VC (virtual cable ) and put the setting on OBS on an audio source assign to that VC
my spotify wont show up in app volume and device preferences
You may be able to do it inside of Spotify preferences from what I’ve been told
i had the same problem and it sounds really silly but the way i solved it was to actually start a music track so your options recognize spotify is currently as an audio source.. if you just open the app it won't show in the settings
how do I import my music application?
When you’re in system settings > sound you choose specific applications to go to specific outputs
Thank you for this! ♥
Thanks! That helped a lot!
Thank you! This was simple and saved me time!
Is there a way I can make it so I can't hear myself?
Disable A1 on the first track
can I do the same think for streamlabs OBS ?
i'm not 100% sure on StreamLabs, they might not have integrated this feature yet. That's why I stopped using StreamLabs, it's easier at first but OBS Studio offers more.
I just did it!!! I can give you my discord if you want so I can send you the screenshots of how I have it (BlaueBlu#0918)
thank you bro!

love u bro so f... much goat realtalk f DMCA
Super easy to understand tutorial. Thank you so much!

Thanks dude, this was awesome!
10 min video for something that could have been explained in 2 mins
spotify is setup with the meter and still isn't playing when i press play, also how do i stop hearing myself and everything that i do? lmaao
nvm i went back and paid attention
everytime i start it, it causes audio rendering errors
nvm i fixed it because i'm great
