Straightening Out Audio

[unsweetened_teashades]

Hello!
I'm a newbie streamer who plays games and I'm trying to make my audio the best it can be. Right now I'm trying to make it so discord, my mic, browser, and game windows are their own separate sources so I can adjust them each individually but I can't seem to get it to work. Does anybody here have experience setting this up?

Two ways to do that, that are actually reliable (don't use the Application Audio source - it still has significant bugs):

Install several loopbacks from here (scroll down the page to see all of them):

VB-Audio Virtual Apps

VB-Audio Virtual Cable and App's

vb-audio.com

Then send each app to a different virtual speaker, and have OBS pick up the corresponding virtual mics.

Or:

Install a virtual mixer that includes its own virtual speakers and mics:

VB-Audio VoiceMeeter Banana

VoiceMeeter Banana, the Advanced Virtual Audio Mixer by V.Burel

vb-audio.com

VB-Audio VoiceMeeter Potato

VoiceMeeter Potato, the Ultimate Virtual Audio Mixer for Windows

vb-audio.com

Two different sizes of the same thing: 2 or 3 virtual speakers and mics. For you, I think I'd pick the bigger one.
Similar idea as before: send each app to a different virtual speaker, and have OBS pick up at least one virtual mic. The difference is that the virtual speakers appear in some inputs to the virtual mixer, and you have to explicitly mix and send them to the mixer's outputs that feed the virtual mics. Much more flexible that way...with correspondingly more controls to keep track of.

I downloaded Potato and got it set up for the most part. After a bit of troubleshooting I could most likely get it working. Thank you immensely for your help!!!
