Keep in mind for the proper functioning of Voicemod you have to use headphones. If you use speakers, the sound will feed your microphone and create feedback that will ruin the experience.
If audio in Voicemod stops working or you can hear a crackling sound there may be different reasons.
Follow these steps:
- Go to Settings
- Activate the "NO POPPING SOUNDS MODE" switch
- Try now if the problem is solved. If not, go to the next step.
Maintaining the Exclusive mode in the microphone improves the response time, if you experience problems related to audio crashes try to change this configuration:
- Go to Settings.
- Turn off the "MIC EXCLUSIVE MODE" switch.
- Try now if the problem is solved. If not, go to the next step.
The audio flows from the microphone to Voicemod and from there we create two output signals; one goes straight to the headphones and the other goes through the Voicemod Virtual Audio Device to our Voicemod Virtual Microphone. If you have different sample rates in the devices where the audio is flowing, we have to resample each audio package, which means, a lot of processes.
If you want to optimize performance you can set your input and output Sample Rate of all your devices to 16bits 44.100 Hz:
- Close the Voicemod app.
- Go to Control Panel -> Sound.
- Go to Recording Tab.
- Double click on your Microphone to open the Properties Tab.
- Go to Advanced.
- Set the Default format to 16bits 44100 Hz.
If you are using more devices in your audio flow, set all of them to 44100 Hz.
- Open Voicemod.
- Go to Voicemod -> Settings.
- Select again your Microphone and Headphones.
We use a small percentage of CPU to process the audio, but we need to process the audio all the time.
If there is another application/game that is consuming all the CPU, maybe this can be affecting our audio processing. Take special care and closing any window or vumeter monitor related to the sound settings or real-time control of the sound.
Also, close all instances of any sound settings and sound visualization apps.
You should adjust the power plan for the best possible performance.
- Settings/Power&sleep/Additional power settings (right-column)/Create a power plan/High performance.
If you don't have that plan, you have to create it:
1.- Just click on 'Create a power plan'
2.- Select the High performance plan and click on 'Next'.
3.- And it ends by clicking on the create button.
Remember to select the new plan (High performance) before closing the window.
If the problem still persists and you are using Discord:
- Go to "Sounds" menu (right-click on
):
- There just disable "Stereo Mix" device in "Recording" tab (right-click - Disable):
-
Discord audio should be set to "Standard" mode. Go to "Settings"
and there to "Voice & Video" tab. Scroll down to "Audio Subsystem" drop-down list and select "Standard" option:
