We are going to select one of them as our default output, it doesn't really matter which one but you have to remember the one you select in case you want to do the optional step at the end. Leave B1 enabled, this B1 output is what we'll use as our microphone in Discord, so if you want people to hear your microphone this must be enabled. With this option deselected, you'll note that the bar moves when you talk but you can't actually hear yourself. Since we don't want to hear ourselveslet's disable A1 our headphones on that strip, so the audio doesn't get routed back to us.

B1 and B2 are virtual outputsthey'll output the audio internally so other applications can pick it up.Īs soon as you do this, you'll notice that you're already able to hear yourself. A1, A2, and A3 are hardware outputsthey are the ones who'll physically play the sound for you in your home so you can actually hear it. Remember we selected our headphones under the A1 option? This means that if A1 is selected, all audio on that specific strip is going to be played through A1 your headphones. Excluding the last three ones, which have obvious functions, the others all dictate where the audio in that strip is going to be routed to. You can note that next to each strip, you have 8 buttons. First of all, as you might have noticed: The software is asking us for a hardware output, you can note this by the blinking red 'Select Main Output Device' on the top right of the app. This allows you to stream your desktop audio and talk while in a call, without your partners hearing themselves. The goal is being able to mix your microphone and desktop audio into a single track, while leaving Discord out of the equation.
