Hello,

I have been using Voicemeteer Banana for past 3~4 months and never had an issue with it. After recent windows or voicemeteer update it self I just can't use it anymore. When I ever I try to play games or use discord it start to lag/chop the sound. I would appreciate some kind of help regarding this.

Mic - Blue Yeti
OS - Windows 10 Pro

Hi. ¿Could you please share a screenshot of Voicemeeter and the System Settings / Options.. window?

Discord Voice Settings include a Mic Test button that you can use to test your Input and Output devices. Do you also get chopped sound when using that test?

Hi,

This only happens in-game or discord. If I play back audio into my headsets no issue there and same with records. If video is recorded mic works there without any issues

Hi. You have configured Voicemeeter correctly, trying to keep the same sampling rate on all the devices:
  • Preferred Main SampleRate is set to 48000 Hz, which is supported by your main device (A1)
  • Blue Yeti microphone is also configured at 48000 Hz
  • Voicemeeter Output (apparently used as Discord Input Device) is also set to 48000 Hz
I would suggest to make this additional tests and let us know your results:
  • Test using an increased WDM buffer size (2048 for example)
  • If you turn on ►A1 on Hardware Input 1 you should hear your own voice on the headphones. ¿Do you also hear it choppy?
Apart from that ¿What is your Output Device in Discord?

In the meantime, You can also try to use the fix suggested in this video which changes Priority and Affinity to a Windows audio process: https://youtu.be/71HrZfR_Fro
