Audio Wizard stuck on “Checking audio driver”? Check whether a Windows audio device has a blank or oddly spaced name.
A device with no name or a space at the beginning of its name can prevent Voicemod from finishing the Audio Wizard.
Before you start
Leave your microphone and headphones connected so their names appear in the Windows device list.
Check and rename the device
- Press Windows key + R, type
mmsys.cpl, and select OK. - Check the Playback and Recording tabs for a device with a blank name or a name beginning with a space.
- Open that device’s Properties. Remove the leading space or enter a name if it is blank.
- Select Apply → OK, then run Voicemod’s Audio Wizard again.

Let’s take a closer look
Tell us whether the device appears under Playback or Recording, its model, your Windows and Voicemod versions, and whether renaming it lets the Audio Wizard finish.
