Everyone knows the pain of having to restart the game if you want to use your headset instead of the default speakers, likewise if you want to return to the speakers, you got to restart.
Googling for solutions I came across this handy software called VOICEMEETER Banana, despite the funny name, it really works wonders. So since I had to suffer a bit to learn how to use it, I'm making this guide to help you set it up.
2. Install the software, just do next next next and when windows prompts for confirmation to install a new audio device, just say yes. Afterwards restart your PC to finish.
3. Now, before loading the software, you want to set up the VoiceMeeter as your default audio driver, so just go to the sound icon next to window's clock and select "Playback devices".
4. Now once inside you'll see all the devices with audio playback that you currently have plugged in. For this you need to have your Headset plugged in. Select the VoiceMeeter Input device and set it as default.
5. Now we load the software "Voicemeeter Banana".
6. Do not panic at the display, if you notice most options are simple equalizers and settings for audiophiles, we just need to focus on the top right corner that says "HARDWARE OUT".
7. Click A1 and A2, and set up your speakers in A1 and your headset in A2.
In most cases you'll get double the devices, but one with WDM and another with MME, I have noticed MME has superior quality and sound, so I went with that, you might want to try both before settling with any.
8. Finally, you might want to have the software start with windows so you don't need to open it everytime you restart your PC, so just go to MENU and check "SYSTEM TRAY (RUN AT STARTUP).
And thats everything, you won't need to restart your game everytime you want to switch headset and speakers. Best of luck.
I total agree with what is written in the post. The break in the game and restart is very annoying and painful. After a stressful task of essayshark review when this restart appears it is intolerable. Thank you for sharing a solution and bringing this problem to fore front.
by that time i will be able to finish my assignments with the help of writing essays services and i am glad about it. that way, i can focus on the event completely. keep us updated with more about it
