  1. Microphone records input and output


    I am using a DAW to record microphone inputs on various tracks.


    When I hit record, the microphone picks up the DAW's metronome (output) as well as the sound I intended to record. When I play back the track, the metronome has indeed been recorded, along with all the other sounds picked up by the microphone.


    When I start another track the input records both the microphone and the playback audio, including all previously recorded tracks and the metronome.


    Listen to device has been deselected. There is no environmental effects tab for the microphone. All other inputs and outputs have been disabled. I have customized and reset to defaults from both the Windows settings/sounds panels and the DAW. The inputs work, and the outputs work, I just want the input to ONLY record the microphone, not all other playback/output signals.

    :)

    Playback detecting Input Devices & Recording detecting Output Devices


    Hello!

    Today, I was playing SCP: Secret Laboratory. After I finished, I went and made tea. When I came back much later to play some more, I found that the in-game voice chat was not working for me; my microphone was not transmitting in-game.
    Looking into my Steam settings, I found that all my input devices were actually my output devices, and all my output devices were actually input devices. I initially thought this was an issue with Steam, so I restarted Steam and my PC.
    However, when the problem did not resolve, I looked to my sound settings and found that even in there, my playback devices detected inputs as outputs and recording devices detected outputs as inputs.

    How am I able to fix this problem?

    The VoiceMeeter inputs and outputs are from a sound managing device called VoiceMeeter Banana that I installed to allow for the creation of virtual line ins.

    Hi and welcome!

    This is absolutely normal!
    What you see as "Input" in Playback tab, actually it is an input (like all the rest, system audio inputs).

    Setting VoiceMeeter as Default (in Playback tab), means that system audio playback goes to VoiceMeeter for processing and NOT to your speakers.

    If you want to listen to what's VoiceMeeter doing (the reason you got it, I think), you must go to Recording tab, open VoiceMeeter Output Properties -> Listen tab, check "Listen to this device" box and right below, specify the desired listening output.

    This is the only way to listen to processed sound and that's the way those apps work.

    Perhaps, you should set your Mic as Default, in Recording tab, for your game (or VoiceMeeter) to access it. There is no reason for VoiceMeeter to be set as Default in Recording tab, except of recording purposes.

    Hope that helps!

    Microphone records input and output

    How to I play my microphone output to microphone input?

    I kind've meant like computer output, didn't really mean the microphone output. So if my computer is playing audio, I want that to go directly to my microphone input.

    I already posted my specs and I don't really know what to do I guess. I hope I updated this question correctly
