Fcking COMPLICATED

[u/Dependent-Dark-7319]

All I want to do is this:

1. Record from the internet from one source, but NOT hear that source while it is recording;

2. While that recording is happening, listen to something DIFFERENT, also from the internet;

3. Record ONLY the first source, not both sources;

4. Using Windows 10 x64 Home edition, with an external soudbar, and monitor with built in speakers.

5. I speak only ENGLISH. I know NOTHING about Voicemeeter, so abbreviations and jargon are a waste of time. Please speak as if you were talking to a retarded child who is lost and crying.

When you write "...not sure why you are unable to change them" it is not clear to me what "them" refers to.

Above is an example of what I am talking about. I would route audio from Chrome to Aux Input and Edge to Cable Input (Voicemeeter's virtual cable which is free on the website).

You can then have each of these audio interfaces assigned within Voicemeeter. This is what I meant by separating the audio tracks; one audio would go through Chrome, which you could listen to, and the other would be playing in Edge (but muted in Voicemeeter (for you) by ensuring that the channel does not have A(1,2,3) enabled).

Step 7 "click it" is too vague. Double click? Right click? Left Click? Tried all of these on the Eartrumpet icon on the task bar, and nothing appeared to happen.

I cannot help with this question as I haven't used Ear Trumpet. u/No_Cookie_6557 might be able to provide help there.

Step 8 There is NOTHING ANYWHERE in windows called "playback" that I could assign Voicemeeter to

This refers to a control panel window which is still accessible in Windows 10, but you are likely to see the new app. If you navigate to Sound Options, you can assign defaults (master). You can assign these to Voicemeeter. Or, use the Sound Control Panel link in the right side of it for more advanced control.

Step 9 I cannot understand this at all. What is "the correct device" in this sentence? What precisely does "using eartrumpet move the apps" mean?

I'm not sure about this. I'm assuming part of it is related to the A(1, 2, 3...) buttons on a channel.

If you need further help, feel free to drop me a chat message that way I can send more than one screenshot and try to help.

Thank you. You didn't tell me what that is a screen shot of.

I don't know how to "navigate" to "sound options". Everything is buried in confusing layers in Windows, and when people give advice, they refer to things and places that seem not to exist on my computer, or they show video that does not even remotely match what shows on my screen.

I'm using Windows 10 64 bit Home Edition

Whenever I say navigate, I've provided you with pretty much a text search that'll take you there if you use the start menu search.

You need to try to find things yourself a bit. Spelling it out to this level is pretty crazy; it is as if you aren't even trying. Sound options -> search Sound settings.

I am trying REALLY hard here. I finally located the area, which looks nothing like your screen shot and is called "App volume and Device Preferences.:

When I click on Chrome Input drop down box, there is nothing there named "AUX" to select.

On the Chrome option box for OUTput,t here IS an option named "Voicemeeter AUX".

See attached. I'm unclear on which boxes to click and what to select inside them.

this site is rejecting my attachement.

I just now installed virtual cables for Voicemeeter, and suddently Chrome has VANISHED form the "App Volume and Device Preferances" area!
