Thank You Voicemeeter (VB Audio)

Last week I reinstalled Windows 11 on my laptop as something had gone wrong with the Bluetooth After reinstalling I was struggling to get audio from my speakers despite having updated drivers. Then I had a thought about seeing if Voicemeeter would help the issue. BINGO I had audio again Voicemeeter was allowing me to channel the audio from RadioDJ to a Bluetooth connection. I've LOVED Voicemeeter since it came out its a Genius piece of software. Voicemeeter easily allows you to route audio from your PC to your output. With Voicemeeter there is no need for a Microphone/Input/Voice FX Button. Voicemeeter will make your audio POP and sound more Professional. As for the Audio driver issue on the Windows 11 laptop I've troubleshot as much as I can BUT to no avail its confusing.

Breakaway One Pipeline Windows 10 Issues (Virtual Audio Cables)

For about a week now I've been trying to get to the bottom of Audio GREMLINS on Windows 10 I was trying to record stuff with Audacity the second I hit record the audio would stutter or drag.

I quite often see new DJ's asking how they stop the sounds from their PC going over onto their stream. This is another good question & it's really quite simple to fix. You need to right click on the speaker icon in the taskbar and choose "Sounds" or use Control Panel>Sound Right click on the sound output you use and choose properties. The sounds tab is where you need to be. In the drop down menu choose "No Sounds" and click apply then you shouldn't hear Windows sounds over your audio. There is another audio setting you should change 1) Find your soundcard in the list of sound devices and right click choose properties. 2) Under the Advanced tab uncheck the tick boxes under exclusive mode and click Apply. TIP: Also do the same for your default recording device and/or Virtual Audio Cables. 3) Under the Communications tab you need to set it to "Do Nothing" Most settings
