How to Set Up Virtual Audio Cable for Discord

If you're looking to set up a virtual audio cable for Discord, there are a few tools that can help you achieve this goal without breaking the bank. In my case, I used Voicemeeter and Virtual Audio Cables from VB-Audio Software, which are both donationware, making them accessible to anyone at little to no cost.

To get started, you'll need to install Virtual Audio Cable and Voicemeeter, running each installer as an Administrator. Once installed, restart your computer to ensure the changes take effect.

Using this set-up, I was able to capture not only the audio from Discord but also system sounds, which is ideal for recording our games using Craig's Discord bot. Additionally, SoundPad allows for on-the-fly mixing that would be more challenging with Jukebox.

Another benefit of this set-up is the ability to push sound through the main audio channel for game recording. We often use Discord for audio and Roll20 for rolling dice, dealing cards, and moving tokens. Jukebox plays through the Roll20 environment in the browser and offers a range of features, including playlists and direct access to Tabletop Audio.

In my case, I stumbled upon this solution after a friend asked if I could figure out how to set up virtual audio cable for Discord. After experimenting for hours, I was able to find the missing steps that other tutorials were lacking. I also mentioned using TableTop Audio's new SoundPad feature in my last post, which allows us to play ambient sounds and effects during our games.

Overall, setting up a virtual audio cable for Discord is easier than you might think, and with these tools at your disposal, you can capture high-quality audio without breaking the bank.
