Did you get the "Input device is being used by another application in exclusive mode" message when configuring Voicemod through the Audio Wizard?
If you are receiving a warning like this in the Voicemod Audio Wizard:
You must follow the steps below to get back Voicemod working back.
- Open Settings (Windows Key + I ) > Privacy > Microphone
- You can go directly pressing the Windows key + R and write ms-settings:privacy-microphone
then click on OK.
- You can go directly pressing the Windows key + R and write ms-settings:privacy-microphone
- Allow access to the Microphone on this device.
- Allow apps to access your microphone – Select ON.
- Now Voicemod app should work as normal.
If after allowing access to the microphone the error persists, it means that another program is using your input device in exclusive mode, in other words, only that program can use it.
Please, go to the Sound control panel window via the Start Menu, the sound icon on the taskbar, or by running a command:
- To use the Start Menu, navigate to the Windows Start Menu > PC Settings > System > Sound > Sound control panel.
- Or use the sound icon, right-click the sound icon on the taskbar and select Sounds.
- Press the Windows key + R and write rundll32.exe Shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL Mmsys.cpl,,1
then click on OK.
Then, go to the Advanced tab and uncheck "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device".
Then, try to configure the input device again.
If you still have the problem, restart Windows and try again.
