Voice Meeter Crashing and Bad Audio Drivers

[djanim8]

I'm running Voice Meeter Potato version 3.0.1.8 and am having problems with it crashing. When I open a program that uses audio like After Effects, Windows Media Player or VLC player, voice meeter crashes. When I launch it again, I get a message saying "Bad Audio Driver Installation Detected!" I tried reinstalling everything, but am still having the same issues.

Hi Please select Voicemeeter Menu - Check Driver Installation option and share a screenshot. You could also try to get help with the crashing issue in the VB-Audio Discord server: find the link in the Support page: https://vb-audio.com/Services/support.htm

any fix to this?

Hi. Voicemeeter will check the name and icon (among other things) for VB-Audio virtual audio devices at startup. You can fix the issues uninstalling VB-Cable (A and B included), restarting Windows and installing them again. That will reset the names and icon to the default values.

Hope this helps.

I uninstalled all the virtual cables, restarted, installed them all again, restarted again and I still got an error on Cable A. So I uninstalled that again, restarted, reinstalled it, and then restarted again. I am still getting the same error on cable A.

Hi. Thank you for your time. Please change the name and icon for VB-Cable A manually:

• Open Windows Sound Control Panel - Playback tab - Speakers (VB-Audio Cable A) - Properties - General tab: Change name from Speakers to CABLE-A Input (use the capitals with no whitespaces at the end or beginning)
• In the same tab use the Change Icon button to select this file: C:\Program Files\VB\CABLE-A\pin_in.ico

Hope this helps
