VB cable 7.1 problem Win10

[xingdong]

Nice to meet you. While waiting for email approval, I've looked up a lot to see if there are cases like mine in the VB Forum, and I couldn't find a solution, so I'm posting a question like this.
I'm not sure if this is a single issue when using VBcable, a problem with Windows 10 itself, or a problem with my computer.

Problem: Even if i try to use virtual 7.1 while using VBcable, all surroundings are silent except for L and R. (Window Sound Control 7.1ch Test)
Of course, it doesn't work on multiple content as well as testing. I think it's right to be divided into 7 channels. Because when I watch content like Netflix, I can't hear the actor's lines at all. That's the center sound.
But the problem doesn't seem to signal to that channel. So it's silent.



I set it as a device that I listen to through listening to the device on the Recording tab, and the sample rate is all the same.
In addition, I tried both VBhifi + asio and VBcable + Repeater, but all surround channels except L and R are silent.
I formatted the computer many times and tried it on other computers. What was interesting was that some computers worked well and some computers didn't work the same way as mine.
Currently, my headphones connect using topping dac, but it didn't work when I connected it to my computer at 3.5. In addition, when testing on other computers, it worked with or without dac.
Does anyone know about this problem?

sorry but i'm not sure i understand your problem.

you have a player send 7.1 to -> VB-Cable input (that you have configured in 7.1 i guess)... but what do you do after ? you get signal from VB-Cable output with what application ? where are you seeing that you have finally 2 channel only instead of 8 ?

My setup is (Headphone)Topping DAC to PC.
VBCable Input - Default device, Click Configuration to enable 7.1
VBCable Output - Default device, Listen to device(Headhpone)

This requires 7 channels of sound from the original headphones. Others use it like this.
But on some of the pc I tested, FL,FR, which is not 7.1 sound, just sounds left and right like the sound of headphones, and the rest of the center and surround channels are all mute.
The reason for using VB cable was for digital loopback, but I made my personalized hrir using hesuvi and impulcifier, and I also have 7 channel hrir. However, channel 2 works so well, but I felt something was wrong when I turned on channel 7 hrir through VBcable. (In the room of an acquaintance I recorded, I confirmed that it worked well with my headphones.)
The sound of the centre and the front desk could be heard behind my back and it didn't make sense. Since there was no problem with my file, I tried to play it on normal 7.1 instead of hrir, and I remember a long time ago that when I used a virtual cable, I heard all the signals on the surround channels when I did the 7.1 test.

So I think I've done audio driver reinstallation, DAC change, headphone change, and computer OS reinstallation nearly 100 times in about a month... I don't know why this works, and I don't know why this doesn't work.

That's why I'm here to ask for help from this knowledgeable community.

I am attaching a picture for your understanding.
It only sounds orange like the original headphones, and all the other blue surround channels (center, side, rear) are muted at all, so there's no sound at all.

the only picture that could help is the screenshot of the VBCABLE_ControlPanel while you are streaming audio through it.

if you use the function WIN-Listen to hear the output of the cable, it will be stereo.
the current VB-CABLE can output 8 channels only if used with KS interface (not used by Windows).

We are about to update our virtual audio cable with new Win10/11 driver model that should fixe this problem.

as current workaround, you can use Voicemeeter or Matrix instead... or wait the new VB-CABLE version.

Thank you for your reply. I captured the screenshot with the control panel on as you advised.
I can see the signal coming in, but I can't hear it. (Without FrontL , FrontR)
I tried voice meter and matrix.
The voice meter didn't work either, and the matrix was difficult to use, so I gave up asking questions on Discord.

In the Korean audio community where I work, when I install only the VB cable and set it up the same, I hear the sound on all surround channels, including all the front, regardless of the application of multiple filters.
It's supposed to be 2 channel output, so would that be right?
Then I wonder why the surround sound plays well when other people do it the same way.

In addition, can we know when the next version of the VB cable will be released?

I've been looking into this for months and contemplating it and haven't gotten advice from anyone. Thank you very much for your kind reply to me.
