We mention this because knowing how to manipulate your audio mixer is key to separating Discord and game audio. This is usually indicated in the audio mixer portion in OBS where by default, it will show “Desktop Audio” and “Mic/Aux,” which are self-explanatory. The simple answer to this is that OBS is set to capture your entire desktop audio by default, which means whatever you are hearing is what OBS will also be broadcasting. To separate Discord and Game audio in OBS you can either separate them using virtual devices or through the use of multiple physical audio devices.īefore we go more detail on how to separate Discord and game audio, let’s go over why this happens.

Both methods work, but the signal is 'echoing', here is an example:

So my idea was to monitor the input signal by routing it to the VB-cable, setting the output volume lower and then monitoring and routing it to the main output either in Voicemeeter Banana or in Windows control panel (via 'Listen to this device').

I wanted to achieve this with Voicemeeter Banana, because Potato simply can't fit my laptop screen I've found this topic where the similar solution for another problem is discussed: viewtopic.php?t=683

This monitoring signal should have much lower level when the output of the VOIP app. I have ZOOM H1 for which I want to monitor the input, when I use it with a VOIP app and headphones.
