Seeing an “Audio configuration error” or a disconnected input or output device in Voicemod? Reconnect your audio device, then check what may be interrupting it.
Start here
Open Voicemod → Settings and select your microphone under Input and your headphones under Output again. Do this even if the correct devices already appear selected. If a device is missing, reconnect it or choose another device. Then try Voicemod’s audio setup assistant if the connection is still not restored.
The warning can appear when Windows loses its connection to a USB or wireless audio device. Work through the checks below in order, and test Voicemod after each one.
1. Check the physical or wireless connection
- USB device: Unplug it, connect it directly to another USB port, and check the cable or adapter. Avoid a USB hub while testing.
- Wireless device: Check its battery and reconnect it in Windows. If possible, test with a wired headset or microphone to see whether the wireless connection is involved.
- Any device: Confirm it works in another app or in Windows Settings → System → Sound.
2. Check Windows sound settings
- Open Windows Settings → System → Sound.
- Under Input and Output, confirm that Windows detects your microphone and headphones.
- Open Volume mixer. Check that Voicemod and the affected app are not muted and are using the expected devices.
- If an app is routed to the wrong device, correct its selection or use the mixer’s Reset option to restore app audio settings to their defaults.
- Completely close and reopen Voicemod. Select your input and output devices again.
Windows 10 or a different Windows layout? The menu names may differ. Look for App volume and device preferences under advanced sound settings.
3. Check the sample rate
If the device keeps disconnecting or the audio is unstable, check the format selected for your microphone and headphones. Voicemod recommends 16 bit, 48,000 Hz for compatible devices. Close Voicemod before changing a device’s format, then reopen it and select the devices again. Follow our sample rate guide for the exact steps.
4. Update the affected device’s driver
If Windows also loses the device outside Voicemod, install the latest driver or device software from its manufacturer and restart your computer. Test the device in Windows before selecting it in Voicemod again.
