With our new magic setup, we’ll route the game audio and the Streak Deck effects via separate sources and the problem is solved. The problem is that both audios are mixed into the Desktop Audio by default, so I’ll record both sources at the same time. That way I can adjust their volume independently from the game’s audio. In my example, I’d like the audio output of my Stream Deck Sound Board effects to be on a separate input in OBS. Example: Routing Stream Deck Sound Board Effects

You’ll have to start Audio Router every time you need it, and from what I can tell your settings are not automatically saved (if there’s a way, I’ll let you know). Simply download the ZIP file of the latest release under the GitHub Releases Section of the repo, UnZIP it into an accessible folder and you’re done.

I took this screen grab so illustrate which download button to click for the regular VB-Cable:Īudio Router doesn’t need to be installed. Either one will get you two more destinations. We don’t need those, but if you ever require more than one routable audio destination, give them a try. There are three versions in total: the free VB-Cable, as well as two donation ware items called VB-Cable A/B and C/D. It’s like a permanent audio device driver on your system. VB-Cable installs like a regular app on Windows, and does not need to be started. This all sounds more complex than it really is, so let me illustrate this with an example. We can then adjust its levels independently from other sources or apply filters if necessary. In principle, we use the latter to route a source into the VB-Cable (a virtual destination), then we pick up the VB-Cable output as a separate input in OBS. The tools we need for ultimate success are: I’ll also touch on how to monitor audio properly without causing an endless loop by recording what you’re monitoring. Thankfully I’ve found two essential tools that make this possible, and I thought I’d jot down some notes in case I forget. I’ve been struggling to route and monitor some of my audio sources in OBS.
