Issue Description

When I launch up the application, all the sounds on my PC stop until I close the app, YT won't play video as it just says "Audio Render error, please restart your computer", even though once I close the voice changer, it works like nothing happened, can't hear Discord notifications, other people can hear me while I can't hear them, the voice changer works, changed the audio output to VB Audio, just had to close the app to hear it when I recorded audio using Audacity, passthrough doesn't work because of the audio problem

Don't use the software in server mode, only client mode.
Uninstall vb audio cable and install virtual audio cable (VAC).
Restart the computer and give it a try again.

Don't use the software in server mode, only client mode. Uninstall vb audio cable and install virtual audio cable (VAC). Restart the computer and give it a try again.

Can you send the link to download VAC so I don't get the wrong one?, and how do I uninstall VB, went to my apps to delete it and it wasn't there?

[KuukoShan]

You go to the start menu, type "add or remove programs" then look for vb cable installation and uninstall it. If you can't find it there, then try reinstalling it again so you can uninstall it properly.

You can download VAC right here: https://software.muzychenko.net/freeware/vac470lite.zip

I also tried reinstalling it, didn't pop up the install tab

[KuukoShan]

If you can't uninstall it using the remove driver button or the control panel looking for the add or remove programs option then try to remove it manually.
Open the "device manager" then scroll down to "Sound, video and game controllers". Locate "VB-Audio Virtual Cable", double-click on it, and go to the "Driver" tab. There is a button at the bottom that says "Uninstall Device". After uninstalling it, scroll up on the device manager and find the "Audio inputs and outputs" category. If everything went fine, you shouldn't have the CABLE Input/output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable) devices. If you still have those then repeat the same process to uninstall them. Restart your computer, install VAC, and restart again. RVC should work fine now using VAC. Just remember to keep it in client mode and not server mode.

K, do I also select the check box on the uninstall?

[KuukoShan]

Which checkbox? Could you be a bit more specific? If it's the checkbox to also remove the driver from the computer, yes. If it's something else then share a screenshot or explain briefly.

gonna sleep so, sorry if I respond late, but here, this is what I was talking about

[KuukoShan]

So yeah it was already answered on my comment from before.

It fixed nothing, still having the same problems after installing VAC, and yea I followed your steps and yet, still the same problems happen

[KuukoShan]

Which audio devices are you using for the input and output?

[Sky49081]

Which audio devices are you using for the input and output?

I used the VAC inputs and outputs, I literally can't hear anything on my PC while the app's open at all, that's the issue, it wasn't a problem with the voice changer

[KuukoShan]

I am not asking about that, I am asking about which audio devices do you use for input and output on your computer. Basically, which microphone, headset and/or speakers are you using. The screenshot only shows "usb audio device". Send a screenshot of the device manager showing every input and output listed there.

Oh, I use my headset for both mic and audio, so USB

[KuukoShan]

I know, but you are not telling me which one are you using neither showing me a screenshot of them on the device manager.

Just like I though, you're using the generic Windows drivers hence why is actually not showing the proper name and brand of the devices and just (USB Audio Device). I recommend going into the brand of the headset and download the right drivers for them. You may be able to fix that issue since I believe windows is having a hard time right now trying to figure out the priorities for them. Let me know if that fixes the issues. Otherwise we can tackle different solutions since I do not think that it's 100% related with RVC. You can try, however, try older versions of the software to see if the same issue still there. Try with a quite old one rather than just the prior one.

I don't remember the brand name as I got these headphones years ago with my PC, so I might just give up on trying, I really don't talk in games alot anyways, but thank you for your assistance and trying to help

[KuukoShan]

If you don't mind, you could take some photos of your headset from fronts, side and back. Specially the sides as there may be a hint of the brand and model. I'll find the brand and model for you.
