Try manually selecting what virtual driver you use

Josh65-2201 commented 1 year ago

It says it cant find the device

This is what I have it set to find

This is what it's named as in Windows

Vixea commented 1 year ago

Reset back to default and try all the drop downs in devices

Vixea commented 1 year ago

(the name field)

Vixea commented 1 year ago

Oh you're not even looking at the right setting

Vixea commented 1 year ago

That's for Linux my guy

Vixea commented 1 year ago

So disable it and scroll all the way to the top and look carefully for the first microphone also issue reports aren't for support they are for issues always ask in the discord or matrix to make sure it's actually an issue before making an issue this would've been solved quicker if you did

Josh65-2201 commented 1 year ago

Alright, the top mic option doesn't change anything, Setting it to VB cable or automatic still has the cant find VB cable issue.

Vixea commented 1 year ago

Did you make sure the driver installed correctly and is currently running

Josh65-2201 commented 1 year ago

Yes and I have tried reinstalling VB cable. Other programs can use the device it makes.

Josh65-2201 commented 1 year ago

I've also join the discord if you want to continue there

Vixea commented 1 year ago

Yes let's do that

For anyone in the future who happens to run into this it was because the user was likely following Linux instructions DO NOT FOLLOW THEM if you're on windows, do NOT rename the driver's name it uses
