How To Play Music And Talk Through Your Microphone While Gaming (Without Voicemeeter)

- Hello TH-cam I am back with another tutorial for you guys and for this one I will be explaining how to use OBS as a voice mixer/microphone so you can talk to people and play m usic through your mic at the same time. This in my opinion is a way better method then using a tedious program like voicemeeter which more than half of the time I used it it never worked. OBS works flawlessly and never once have I had an issue or glitchy audio using the program.
Thank you guys so much for a thousand subscribers and if you guys have any issues drop your concerns down in the comment section and I will get back to you ASAP :D - เกม
If it sounds bad on Discord go to your Voice & Video settings and shut your Input Sensitivity off and move the slider all the way over to the left, turn off Echo Cancellation and put Noise Suppression to None. This fixed it for me.
Thanks for explaining this. I have pinned your comment for others to see 😁
Thanks this was a huge help after messing with voicemeeter for about an hour
this helped me out TWICE, ty!
Thank you so much! It is so funny to troll my friends :0 Very good tutorial!!!
OMGG THANK YOU SO MUCH LOTS OF HUGS AND KISSES MUAW :) you made it so easy to understand
This was perfect everything set up perfect, coming from just trying to set up voice meter and finding i just cant get it working your walkthrough for obs was perfect.
YESIRRRRRRR 😎😎😎😎😎
This was a good instruction video! Very easy to understand! Thank you!
thank you a lot for this tutorial. i searched for hours and even used multiple AI's and they all gave me information that was blatant misinformation or not working at all. i'll be sure to subscribe.
This Is Easy Thanks for making it Easy to Understand :D
bless ur lil heart for this, thank u for your help < 3

@@sgwigglysquid230 about to go test to see if it works though, i hope to Thor i got it. fr thanks for your help, such a slay < 3
Thank you ive been wanting to do this for a while thank you !
Tysm! you made it really easy to understand and follow! Legend
Appreciate it glad I was ablw to help :D
bro thank you, this helped so much
Thx mate this actually very helpful... now i dont need a Streamdeck or Voicechanger!
Worked! Thanks buddy, and your're right, voicemeter banana made me more pissed than urinal cakes.
REEEEE XD
Dawg I been trying to do this since I got my stuff thank you a lot
Hey no problem man glad its working for you 😁
works amazing man, tysm!
thx bro good luck 💪💪
i have a question i pause spotify but my mic still shows it playing its being talked through so idk if the music is still playing or not its like even though i pause the music it still shows its going but i cant hear it
great video. it worked for one night, and now i can't play music in rdr2 or speak in game unless i go back to my regular mic. i dunno whats set up wrong.
Try reatart pc
@@sgwigglysquid230 yeah I did. it works for everything but rdr2.
if it dosnt work for you, you can try this:
in the windows control pannel song : set your headset or what on pricipal device at all (communication too)
then go in mic device set your mic has the device device and then selecte virtual audio cable has the default device communication :)
cehck on OBS while audio is running and you will have the 3 audio device moving in OBS (Audio/Audio BETA/Mic)
if it dosnt work again (unlucky boi) unistal voicemeeter or other stuff that you dont need.
W tutorial
i think its cause i didnt have the right obs input mic selected in obs but i did in the game i think that was the problem
I followed the steps changed audio input in my mw3 game menu to virtual cable. I’m able to hear it through my headphones but it’s not sounding off on my game mic. On OBS only source I got is Apple Music. Do I have to add my mic? Thanks in advance.
It shouldnt say virtual cable it should say something like CABLE A or any other letter. Also if you want to talk as well you would need to add a mic source if you dont have one already
hey! followed this tutorial last night and it was walking perfectly. however, now it's registering through obs, but not ingame? i've set my input the the virtual cable in game, but mic showing no input. any ideas?
Make sure to check and see if the sound you are trying to play has "Monitor and Output" enabled in the sound source
idk if my obs is different but ive followed the steps exactly with some changes due to my computer being different . i dont have application audio capture in my audio mixer
Could be the verion. Are you on windows?
what do u set the audio to if you want to use youtube on a browser?
Hey there you will use the Application Audio Capture in the audio sources. Then you will click drop down menu and list of currently used applications will show up. Click on your browser. After that head to advanced audio properties, them make sure you monitor and output the application audio capture
I shut down my pc and got back on vrchat a few hours later and now vrc is registering the music and my audio but i can't hear anything and the mic icon I'm vr isn't turning on when I talk or play music
Make sure you are using the right audio input for the headset you are using. Also in the vrc settings make sure you are using the right microphone. About the issue eith the mic icon, make sure you dont have your settings set too the "always off" option for the microphone.
On the second wizard thing i get a potential threat detected screen. Is it okay to proceed?
Yes
i dont use virtual audio, since i cant seem to control where the audio goes, using it, i hear nothing. instead i use my headset while in vr for my input and output, unfortunately, my problem is that i cant hear my own music unless i change my monitoring device to my output, but that results in hearing my own desktop audio (i dont hear my music when i turn desktop audio down) im lost, do i just not listen to my music?
Try setting mulltiple application audio captures and manually select which ones you want to hear and not hear by clicking on each audio source in your scene whether that may be your desktop audio or the music and enable or disable monitoring for those sources.
i have this same issue, did you figure it out because making another application audio capture isnt really helping.
me again after a few weeks, i updated to windows 11 and after doing the whole setup again, it picks up my music audio but it's not picking up my voice.
Make sure you are using the right input device and have it selected in OBS. Also dont forget to set it to monitor to output as well
ngl this is way easier than setting it up in voicemeter
Yuhhhhhhh 😎
I did everything (I think) right but thing is I’m a complete desktop user (so I only have the speakers option and cable) and don’t have a mic yet and when I play the music, it isn’t playing in game
So do I change anything in the settings for it to work properly???
Just make sure the monitoring device is set to the cable in obs settings, and for the application audio capture you are using make sure that is also set to monitor and output
Desktop should work fine
Yo! Im a macbook pro user, and i was wondering if you can help me if in my OBS studio's "Desktop audio" preferences only show up as VB-Cable, yet i have my "External Headphones" plugged in my macbook, could you please respond with atleast something. I will be greatful if you will atleast say something about this because this is really the thing that i need. Thanks!
I am actually unsure if this will work for mac so I am unsure if I can do much
I am unsure why its only showing 1 port
@@sgwigglysquid230 oh well thanks anyways brotha! I will figure it out on my own💪
Good luck!!!
@@sgwigglysquid230 thanks!
A single reboot and now virtual cable no longer sends audio to vrc? Any fix to this literally nothings changed in the settings from this tutorial.
hey there add my discord sgwiggly_squid so I can see what the issue is
I figured it out I had to go to system-sound-cable input and unmute it, for some reason it does this automatically on reboot.
thank you, it helped a lot but after like one day it stopped working
What i want to do is streaming my discord friend some game and music. When i share screen only game sound comes and of course not the music in the background. This is the guide right?
Well similar guide but might require a few extra steps. Have not tried this but you might be able to see if you could switch desktop audio itself to cable and experiment from there
THANKKKKK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
thank you sososo much
NP :D
@3:31 when I’m at this step of the video it tells me to install it again and switch to administrative mode to switch the set up program
Hi there!!!!!
Yes you would need to install the program in administrator mode. To do that right click on the file, and you should see the option to "Run as administrator". Then it should let you install the program 😁
Thank you! This is a surprisingly simple tutorial. One problem I'm facing though is that my audio (both microphone and application) is usually choppy and hard to understand. Is there a way I can fix this?
Is this from when your listening to it or is this feedback you get from others?
@@sgwigglysquid230 On Discord, if I test my mic I can notice a noticeable choppiness to the audio. Called a friend and they confirmed that the audio is choppy for them, too.
I can hear the audio fine but I think anyone else listening to it will hear the stuttering.
@@sgwigglysquid230 I'm three weeks off but I found that Discord is the only app that seems to suffer from this. This is noticeable from friends and myself. Tinkering with the audio settings in control panel eventually solves the issue but generally I just keep my mic settings to default on the app so I don't have to do that every time. Otherwise it works fine.
You can disable noise cancelation and automatic input sensitivity on discord to have it work better
My friend said it’s not loud its there a way to make it louder other then turn up the volume
You on discord trying this?
yea this helped me out alot but what happens if the sound doesnt come out in vr but it works on obs
It will you just got to set up your vr input in obs, and then use cable output (since you selected it as monitoring in obs) to use as your microphone. Keep in mind if you need to chsnge mics judt go in obs and change it there so it will go through the cable input
Thank You sgwiggly squid
I did it correctly, i want to use this to have free and keybinded sounds to play through discord but i cant hear the sound myself, it just goes through the mic but not for me. i could hear the sound play out before i set monitoring device to cable input but after doing that it doesnt work, even tho i have audio monitoring set to "monitor and output" i stil cant hear anything. But if i set monitoring device back to default then it doesnt go to cable input so im lost..
Add me on discord so I can take a look

@@sgwigglysquid230 alright send
Does this mess up your settings for everything else? Meaning u have to go back and reset everything to the way it was before when u Don't wanna stream music n stuff???
Not if you set up a seperate scene. You can assign specidic settings to a different scene and you can switch between the 2. Say if you want to stream music out of mic you can switch to the scene where you have that setting. But if you want to stream on social platforms you can switch to the scene where you have that set up.
Hopefully this made sense lol
However if your talking about like your actual pc settings, none of your pc settings would be changes doing this. If you want to play it safe after your done doing this you can set the monitor in the obs settings back to defualt
It works. Also works when recording. But is there a way to fix the delay? Like, when i sing along to the music, my voice is delayed, even tho I can hear the music fine and sing along, it just delays thru my mic for some reason. So my voice comes way after the music instead of matching with it. Any fix?
Hmm I wouldnt be sure. How do you know that the voice is delayed?
@@sgwigglysquid230 my friends let me know well I was playing. It's not a big deal, I'll live. Just wondering if you knew how to fix!
@@sgwigglysquid230okay! Fixed it. Just had to restart my pc, it was just having an issue
Awesome man glad you got ir fixed 💪
Hey, whenever I create the Application Audio Capture it does not pop up in my Audio Mixer tray... is there a reason for that happening?
it shows up as inactive so thats the reason apparently... is there a way to make it active?
Sorry TH-cam is not notifying me of these comments for some reason. You still havimg this issue?
Should I leave OBS studio in a recording or streaming mode for this to work?
I dont think it matters the application would just need to be running :D
@@sgwigglysquid230 Thank you very much!! It worked for me very well. I used it to stream to twitter space via desktop. Amazing !!
it made my voice static and i cant figer out how to fix it
ik this video is awhile ago but j need help i can hear my own mic how do i change that
Add me on discord sgwiggly_squid
@@sgwigglysquid230 just did 👍🏽
My problem with voicemeter is how many devices it adds
Hey man i really do thank u for the big help but i got a slight problem it says system default is there any way i can fix that
it dosent give me other options to give me just system default
Where do you see it?
still having the echo issue, i turned off desktop audio and i still hear echo
If your still having issues add me on discord sgwiggly_squid
Please Help Me it goes thru my obs but not my mic and i checked everything
Did you set cable as monitoring device and also made sure that your sound sources are monitored in your advanced audio properties?
@@sgwigglysquid230 yes and it worked ty!
After downloading the audio cable all audio to my headset cut out but i know my microphone and music is playing throught the mic. Any help?
Go into your window settings, sound tab, then check to see what the default audio device is set to, then change it back to wither headset or defualt option
Great thank you for the help and the quick response
No worries :D
I have an issue with the music being suuuuuuper quiet even when I increase the volume by like 300%
What platform are you playing the music on?
When I play music and headset does it won’t work in games
Can you repeat that? Im not sure if this is a question or not
How do I fix my mic sounding choppy/bad?
Hi there. Add my discord sgwiggly_squid so I csn assist you :D
i dont see it playing for me i did every step it just doesn't work can someone please help me
Hey there make sure you have set the audio sources in obs to monitor and output so you can hear and project the music from mic. Also remember to set cable to monitoring device in OBS settings
I can’t hear my music but it shows it’s playing in vrc
Make sure your monitoring device is set to your speakers/headphones your using
For some reason application audio capture beta does not appear and people can hear themselves through my mic
What version of obs are you on?
@@sgwigglysquid230 30.1.1
@@sgwigglysquid230I don’t know if I need to be on a older version because I’m on the newest version
Hmmm im on 29.1.3. Try to see if you can find this version somewhere. Should be a version list somewhere
@@sgwigglysquid230 it works now thanks for the help man appreciate it

YeeYee and YaaYaa
Okay so a little issue im having after reinstalling it is that im not able to Play sound thru vrc mic
Im replecating the same settings
You have monitor and output for the application audio capture?
Im going to Reinstall everything
@@sgwigglysquid230 Wdym by that?
In the video I showed you hoe to use the application audio capture for the sound your trying to play through your mic. If you want the sound to go through you have to make sure that the audio capture is set to "monitor and output" in advanced audionsettings.
hi do i run vb cable as administrator when downloading it
Nop you can install as normally :D
@@sgwigglysquid230 when i try to install the version it tells me to run it as administrator and dosent let me install it if i dont
Did you try running in administrater?
@@sgwigglysquid230 yes i did and now it works thanks
To uninstall it is it the same way like voice meter?
By searching for OBS in the taskbar search you should be able to right clic, click uninstall, and a list of your installed applications should show up. Then find obs and uninstall from there
@@sgwigglysquid230 I planned on using through voice mod too, thank u tho
Am I meant to hear the audio multiple times at the same time
No it should only be the current audio and not multiple
I turned off the desktop audio but it is still glitchy
there could be other factors that could be making the audio glitchy. On my end I wont be able to tell for sure what that could be as this is something you are gonna have to check for yourself.
When I went to desktop in my folder, it was empty😅
mine is just making this like little pop sound every 6 seconds
It works but it kinda let me down, I wanted to play music thru my mic during discord, it works but its glitchy. I cant talk if its running and its very glitchy
Hi there you would need to disable noise cancelation and automatic input sensitivity in your discord settings
I did this and my voice is still glitchy@@sgwigglysquid230
@@sgwigglysquid230 Everytime I disable auto input sensitivity, discord wont detect my voice 😭😭
If music is playing try lowering the volume to balance out the voice and music

Yesirrrrrrr 😎
yo man when i try to download it it said that i have to be in administrator mode?
Easy. When you try to open it just accept administrator mode and it will doenload
yo thanks i did and it works but i cant hear when i go to properties@@sgwigglysquid230
yo do you have discord so i can share my screen bc im slow and i need help where to go

i can't hear spotify it just plays it through my mic
Hi, so this made my voice glitchy when I used it on discord
Hi there try to disable noise suppression and automatic inoht sensitivity in discord settings and see if that helps. Also make sure only 1 source in your obs is putting out your voice so your voice is not being duplicated
hi hello it's me again lol, so i did everything buttt the only things that i'm missing is the CABLE output option, i can't seem to find it.
hold on i skipped a step let me try
Yea sry again but i fixed it i missed a few steps thank you!
no worries im glad it works now :D
i dont get the option for a new audio mixer
Do you use the streamlabs version of OBS?
im not sure i'd have to check @@sgwigglysquid230
i dont beleive so @@sgwigglysquid230
not sure i dont get an option for cable when i go to audio settings

Did you install/setup vb audio cable drivers when you installed the package from the website?
I can't hear my spotify music now [ fixed it my audio settings was messed up
Wait is it fixed? 😅
the thing is that my mic is super loud it still play's the music@@sgwigglysquid230
Idk why but the music works but I can not hear my friends on vrchat
Make sure your monitoring is on and you habe the right headphones/speakers selected
If you need further assistance add my discord sgwiggly_squid
can i do it wit winrar???
With the cable files? Im sure you can
Is anyone else having echo issues? Like other people can hear themselves?
Make sure desktop audio is not on in your obs
im having the same thing you ever find a fix?
Finally 😂
I know right lol
It worked but It's constantly echoing
Made a small mistake in tutorial. Make sure your desktop audio is completely off in obs
@@sgwigglysquid230 okay it was working and it randomly stopped working for like 5 months, then I rewatched the video and did everything again and it's not working anymore, I know I trust this video maybe something with my PC
@@sgwigglysquid230 also this started happening randomly as well or maybe I just never payed attention to it whenever the song changes or pauses on the application capture on properties it highlights that spotify.exe isn't there and I have to go to the dropdown menu then it shows the now playing song but if it switches or pauses I have to re select it
can i get ur discord bc i cant find the vb cable
Did you go to the website? Its right on front of you 👁👄👁
i will say thx you but it dosnt work for me :o i mean, i did every thing you have done but it dosnt set music on the microphone :o
ok it work now :)
i think, people for who this tutorial dont work, they maybe have other stuff activated has default device in the windows control song pannel (in audio device not in communication device), so what i did its to desactivated all device selected to be sure that my principal device is the one. bcs it have set other device has default communication device (always in audio device not in communication device), so to clear it i desactivated the one selected to redirected all power on pricipal device (audio device always).
and in communication device there is only my mic selected, then the rest happend in OBS ^^
(this problem happend bcs i instal voicemeeter so i have setting in other way the audio and mic device than the regular settings of windows ^^)
So just resettings all audio pannel in original mod, and then do the tutorial ;)
to be more easly clear in the windows control pannel song : set your headset or what on pricipal device at all (communication too)
then go in mic device set your mic has the device device and then selecte virtual audio cable has the default device communication :)
cehck on OBS while audio is running and you will have the 3 audio device moving in OBS (Audio/Audio BETA/Mic)
Does work in roblox voice chat

did not work how about getting a now hobby

I'm so tired of all these videos and none of the sh** works like the way you guys say it does
Cause its probably something you did wrong :/
is there a way to make the music audio lower on my end but stay high through the mic?
You can just turn down headset volume
