Streamers, podcasters and people on frequent video calls often want to combine several sound sources and control where each one goes. Voicemeeter does this in software, acting like a small mixing console on your PC.

How it works

Voicemeeter installs a virtual audio device. Windows and your programs can use it as their main audio device, and Voicemeeter then mixes everything and sends it on.

  • Inputs: 3 inputs, 2 physical (such as a microphone) and 1 virtual (sound from your programs).
  • Outputs: 3 outputs, 2 physical and 1 virtual, routed through 2 buses.
  • Interfaces: Supports MME, DirectX, KS, WDM and ASIO.

A typical setup sends your microphone and game sound to a streaming program while you listen to everything on headphones.

Installing Voicemeeter

  1. The Download button opens the official Voicemeeter page on vb-audio.com.
  2. Download the setup ZIP (about 22.1 MB) and extract it.
  3. Run the setup program as administrator.
  4. Restart Windows after installation. VB-Audio also asks for a restart after uninstalling.

Which edition?

The standard Voicemeeter is the simplest. VB-Audio also offers larger editions, Voicemeeter Banana and Voicemeeter Potato, with more inputs and buses for complex setups. Starting with the standard version is a good way to learn the routing.
