DOE: Sound Extension

[Bethor]

Hey Gwydione!

Thanks for the fast reply. I'm on a german OS so I'm not sure how far that would help.

- The standard windows devices are (now) set to Voicemeeter Input/Output
- Main Discord : Input = microphone array, output = cable A input
- Syrinscape Discord (PTB) : Input = cable-b-output, Output = cable-A-Input

Voicemeeter settings:

Microphone = microphone array (only B1 highlighted)
Discord = cable A output (B1/A1 highlighted)
Syrinscape = cable B output (only B1 highlighted)

I'm using a 3rd discord instance as well but that doesn't makes a difference.

If you still need the pics I will pop them on your discord

Thanks again!

Ok. I think I see what is happening. Because the input to syrinscape PTB instrance is cable b output, that means you are actually connecting the output of syrinscape directly to discord. Think of it like a physical cable. You have attached the output to syrinscape and you have attached the other end of the cable to discord. The way you have it set up, you are NOT sending the output of syrinscape through voicemeeter and therefore your volume slider in the "syrinscape" column of voicemeeter isn't going to do anything and if you clicked on the "B1" in the syrinscape column of voicemeeter it shouldn't change a thing.

If you want to change your setup, I can help, but it isn't broken, it's just the way you have it set up.

Thanks for the quick reply. I think I've done it the same way which is described in the youtube tutorial.

I'm gonna re-watch it. Maybe I've done something wrong. What do I need to change in particular?

Best regards

I think I know what video you are referencing and you have it set up exactly how they describe it. However, the result of that setup is that you can't control the syrinscape volume from within voicemeeter. Are you using VM, VMB or VMP? (banana, potato)

[Bethor]

I have VM banana.

[Gwydion]

I have VM banana.

Ok. So I have to make some assumptions. I'm assuming you are streaming as you are selecting B1 in all your strips so I suspect B1 is what you are sending to OBS or whatever software you use to stream. So, one way to do what you are trying to do is as follows:

Change the Syrinscape PTB input to Voicemeter Aux Output (this is virtual output B2 fyi).
In the syrinscape column (input strip) of Voicemeeter, make sure B2 is selected (and B1 to send it to the stream).

If my memory is correct, this should have syrinscape playback through cable B which is connected to the third strip in VMB. You are then sending that sound to discord by selected B2 in that strip which you have selected as the input in discord for your PTB instance. You are selecting B1 as well so that the syrinscape sound coming through Voicemeeter also goes out to the stream.

Now when you change the VMB slider in your syrinscape strip, it should change the volume for you.

I think that should work for you but let me know if it doesnt.

Alright I'm gonna try that. I'm not streaming. I'm just using Discord and syrinscape for my Fantasy Grounds sessions with other people.

I will ttyl after the Test

That worked! Thanks a lot. I can now adjust the sound volume via the syrinscape column and the discord column (sort of). Maybe I will have a shot this evening to try this with other players.

Thanks again for your help!

Best regards

Do you mind if i ask why using Voicemeeter? I've tried using it but now i only use the cable. Works fine and there's no need to change so many settings...

In my case its because I use Teamspeak, Skype, and Discord (not at the same time, obviously) and I like the convenience of simply clicking on a button (now that everything is set up) to switch my sound inputs and outputs around, from my main Dolby 7 Speakers when I'm (computer) gaming to my headphones and mike when I'm on Teamspeak to my Jabra speaker-Mic when I'm on Skype, etc,etc,etc.
