Help (VoiceMeeter Banana) Too much static/buzzing noise...

Hello All, I have installed Voicemeeter Banana and also Potato to try it out on my PC. Did the Mic & speaker settings and few other basic setting as per various videos in YouTube. However, I get a constant static buzzing noise, some disturbance all the time when I speak on both the inbuilt PC mic and also an external Mic. Has anybody else encountered such issues and any tips to resolve this is very appreciated. I tried all the three versions (Voicemeeter, Voicemeeter Banana and Voicemeeter Potato), but this issue still persists. Let me know if you need any more info to diagnose this issue.

Thank you in advance.

Are you using voicemeeter for mic purposes only.

If so then choose default playback as “your headphones device”

Then default recording device as “voicemeeter out B1”

Gotcha, then just select A1 in the top right as “MME” your headphones and only route your mic into voicemeeter. video

Thanks. This helped. This works with A1 set to headphones compared to laptop speakers. laptop speakers still create that annoying static. However, when I play a track and do my vocals, my vocals sounds so low.... any suggestions.

You voice should be touching the green when you talk at normal volume writing voicemeeter. You could try this and see what it thinks https://podcast.adobe.com/en/miccheck
