Hi there, not sure if this is just a coincidence, but I just installed the new version and had a few problems last night during a live session
#1- About 45 minutes after starting the ZOOM session using Banana, my PC just froze hard. Had to hard reboot. At this point, I didn't even suspect Voicemeeter at all.
About 20 minutes after that reboot, remote users reported loss of audio. It appeared as if Voicemeeter Bus B1 was no longer routing output to ZOOM. I did the Zoom audio check and confirmed this. In desperation, I closed and restarted Voicemeeter. Without touching any other setting, everything worked fine after restarting voicemeeter. I was surprised- I thought when voicemeeter was closed it would remove all of the virtual IO devices and the zoom settings would go back to the defaults, but that didn't happen.
Setup is Windows 10. In-person meeting (~40 persons) with three microphones mixed down into Banana and then into the Zoom session. I eventually deciphered the French youttube video to get all the setting proper regarding the default communications devices in the windows sound settings .
Is the prior version available for download somewhere? I'm wondering if I should rollback for the time being to see if there's any bug fixes necessary with the new version.
Thanks!

Re: Any issues reported with 2024 Release (Banana?)
Voicemeeter Banana 2.1.1.1 is considered as the most stable version and your problem has never been reported.
But if you get a service interruption, it can be due to only one thing: your device selected as output A1 stop working. And if the Voicemeeter main device stop running, all other stream will be stopped. You may try the internal clock as output A1 (select nothing as output A1) to check if you got the same problem.

Re: Any issues reported with 2024 Release (Banana?)
Hi Vincent, thanks for the reply! But I don't think the device connected to A1 is the culprit. When B1 stopped functioning, I did the ZOOM device test. Microphones worked fine (they are the banana input devices) and played back on A1 like a normal test. And without any other changes being made hardware or software, closing and restarting Voicemeeter fixed the issue. Are there any system logs I can look at to troubleshoot?

maybe there is a timer on zoom side, this is a problem i've never heard about.
(maybe someone got this problem and could help ?).

Re: Any issues reported with 2024 Release (Banana?)
Hi Vincent, as we viewed the recording from the meeting where the failure happened, we have noticed that the ZOOM audio out again failed about 5 minutes before the end of the meeting. Is there anywhere I can download the prior version? I won't be at the next meeting and must leave the meeting management in the hands of a non-technical person, so I'd prefer to use the version that we know works, since they likely won't be able to recover from any errors.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Disregard! I found the 2.0.6.8 install file in my downloads directory. Sometimes being a pack rat pays off!!

i would prefer you fixed you problem with the latest version. At least to find someone able to reproduce your case, because i've never heard about this before.

Re: Any issues reported with 2024 Release (Banana?)
So would I! I'm just not even sure how to reproduce it myself, since the only use is once per month during our "General Membership Meeting". I wish there was some sort of "zoom bot" out there where it could connect to my meeting and talk and listen for an extended period of time. But even if I did that, without an idea of what is causing my issue, I have no clue of what tweaks I could make to try to stop it...
