Troubleshooting Choppy Audio with Virtual Cables in VoiceMeeter

As a streamer, you rely on high-quality audio to engage your audience. However, some users have reported experiencing choppy audio when using virtual cables in VoiceMeeter 'vbcable'. In this article, we'll explore the issue and potential solutions to help you overcome it.

The Problem

When trying to capture the input side of VoiceMeeter directly, users find that the audio is pre-VoiceMeeter. Additionally, the outputs were choppy when reviewing a Twitch recording, which was recorded while streaming. The Virtual Outputs from VoiceMeeter Potato work perfectly fine, but this issue only arises with Virtual Cables.

The Setup

To recreate the issue, you'll need to have VoiceMeeter Potato installed and set up. Make sure to route your MIC audio through VoiceMeeter Potato and out to several outputs. You should also have Virtual Cable A, B, C, and D installed.

Troubleshooting Steps

Before diving into potential solutions, ensure that your computer is fully updated and has been restarted recently. Run a driver checker like Driver Checker to rule out any issues with audio drivers.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the Virtual Cables didn't resolve the issue in this case. However, it's essential to try these steps before moving on to more advanced troubleshooting methods.

Audio Recording with Audacity

To further troubleshoot the issue, try recording audio using Audacity. Send audio out through VAIO3 (which works fine) and compare the results to sending audio out through Virtual Cables. This will help you isolate whether the problem lies with VoiceMeeter or the virtual cables themselves.

Possible Causes and Solutions

The root cause of this issue is still unclear, but there are a few potential solutions worth exploring:

* Check the sample rate: Make sure that your Virtual Cable C is set to 48000 Hz (or another supported sample rate). Try changing it to 44100 Hz if necessary.

* Verify audio settings: Double-check your audio settings in VoiceMeeter and Audacity to ensure they are configured correctly.

If you're experiencing choppy audio with virtual cables in VoiceMeeter, don't worry – you're not alone. By following these troubleshooting steps and potential solutions, you should be able to identify the cause of the issue and resolve it. Remember to stay vigilant and keep your computer up to date to avoid any future issues.
