Did you get the "Output 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 on Voicemod V2:

Or the following message on Voicemod V3:

"Can't start a main stream, error_code=-999, descr=Untanticipated host error"

It means that another program is using your output 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,,0
  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 output device again.

If you still have the problem, restart Windows and try again.
