Those are great, but theyre not cheap and they require a fair bit of room.

Youre allowed one for free, and youll see why its important in later steps.

This comes as a zip file, so unpack it and open the executable within for your version of Windows (x86 or x64).

In order to hear audio from your PC, youll need to set up any hardware you have for the job.

There are three outputs (A1, A2, and A3), with corresponding controls.

The colored boxes in the image above show you which correlates with which.

In my case, I have a set of desktop speakers, a pair of headphones and a gaming headset all connected to an output.

Youll also notice that everything is there twice, prefaced by either WDM or MME (there are others but these are the two we care about right now).

Select the audio device with WDM by it first, and if you have any issues try MME instead.

The slider has a ton of range for getting volume just right, but you can also mute each individually, add EQ settings, or go from stereo to mono if you wish.

Grabbing the free virtual audio cable detailed above comes into play here, as it presents you with an extra input you can use.

If you want more, throw the developer some money and stack them up.

The next can be anything you like, hardware or software.To do this with the Xbox app or Skype or Discord, you simply need to tell the relevant app to use the virtual cable as its output.

In the second hardware input, simply select the corresponding item, noting it is now labeled as Cable Output.

Youre telling the Xbox app that you want the audio to go down a cable input to an audio device, and Voicemeeter Banana to pull the output from that cable.

Audio goes into the PC, then goes out to the speakers or headphones you tell it to.

B1 is all your Windows audio (remember earlier setting Voicemeeter Input as the default playback device) and should be set up in such a way that youre going to be hearing sound from whatever outputs you connected to your PC.

B2 is your stream audio, that is, everything that gets sent to your viewers via software like XSplit and OBS.

You can then send B1 to output A1, A2 or A3, or a combination of the three.

If you want to monitor your microphone, for example, without mixing it with any other audio or sending it to your stream, you can set its output to be your headphones and mute everything else.

Since everything is controlled by Voicemeeter Banana, theres very little to do with your streaming software.

Its elegantly designed, and once you figure out the basics, its not particularly difficult to use.
