Hi, I'm fairly new here and have a problem with setting up my Voicemeeter Banana.
I have it downloaded because am recording a lil bit some R6 Siege footages and had to split my Discord and In-Game audio. With that I didn't have problems and am using it nicely for a long time now. But a month ago I was given new headphones- SPC Gear Viro Plus. They have external USB Sound Card. Everythings cool, but the mic is HORRIBLY quiet. In headphones app there is nothing I can do to boost it, neither in Control Panel. So I came with an idea to connect my mic with VoiceMeeter Banana, so there I can boost it like 5db or so.
Okay, sr, long story short- what I gotta do to set up my USB mic in Voicemeeter Banana? What to enable in control pannel etc etc.
Thanks in advance, feel free to ask me for any more info.
The thing is- the audio is good and loud etc from my speakers, but the microphone is really quiet and I'd like to connect it with VB Banana so to boost it.
Just guessing, but make sure you go through the playback and recording tabs for every device and set to 100% because ultimately Windows sees all connected hardware first before it gets to Banana

Well, there is no way changing PC volume level will increase my Mic volume, i'm just simply asking how to connect my Mic so it comes through VM Banana before coming into other players speakers and OBS
Hi. Typically Windows will provide a gain control for recording devices in the Levels tab of the Properties window in the Sound control panel, similar to this:

To connect a microphone to Voicemeeter you can use a Hardware Input. Clck for example over Hardware Input 1 and choose the desired device. You typically have 2 options: WDM and MME. WDM is newer so try that first. Use the Gain Slider to add some gain to the level of the microphone. Similar to this:

Turn on the ►B button on the selected Hardware Input to send the microphone audio to the Voicemeeter Output. Select Voicemeeter Output as your microphone on the desired application.
Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Thank you so much! My question is- if in VM Banana I have my normal audio (which in this example is a game) set to A1 and B1, and VM Aux (which is discord and music for example) set to A1 and B2, then am I supposed to set my mic (Hardware Input) to B1 only? Will it then be somehow recorded to my track in OBS as this "game" track or will I hear my voice as a playback all the time? Sorry, can't explain. I'm attaching my VM Banana Screenshot.
Ok, nevermind, with VM Banana my boosted by 10db Mic sounds shitty and has a lot of background noise. Better to be quieter than have a lot of noises. Is there an option to make it louder without catching up noises?
