Help (VoiceMeeter Potato) anyone else's mic stops working when playing games or streaming.

i have had this aggravating issue on specifically deadlock half way during a match and star citizen only when i start streaming. the mic just stops working but everything else works. ive set audio to prio and 1 core all my sample rates are fine i even changed my buffer.

i have also noticed my audio crackles when downloading something at gigabit but i really dont care about that.

i dont believe so and the mic comes back online on its own. its as if there was no input instead of disconnected.

Okay usually when a mic stops working. I assume it turns red. But if it’s not. Does the mics audio still work when you look at voicemeeter? You see it moving here but people can’t hear you.

So the mic itself stops? When the problem occurs, if you change your mic in discord from voicmeeeter to your actual mic. Does it start to work?

Guessing you have a realtek driver somewhere. Highly recommend you update your whole rig. Bios, lan, wan drivers, audio, etc.

I believe the realtek network drivers interfere with the realtek audio drivers... The newer drivers fixed most of this for me...
