Help, when using client mode it doesn't pick up any sound

[teal skiff]

it was fine a few days ago but today all of the sudden the voice changer (when in client mode) would not work, even using different mics, whether its my default mic or quest mic it doesnt work, i tried the server mode (windows wasabi) it worked, i was recommended to uninstall vb cable and install vb lite, which i did but it didnt fix the issue

i'm using:

windows 10:
gpu: amd 9070 XT

[harsh vault]

please provide the voice changer screenshot, showing the version and perf indicator while running

also check the terminal window if there might be some error messages

[teal skiff]

nvm it doesnt work in server mode anymore too

client version doesnt work either

i dont see any errors

perf indicator is on 60-55 it all seems fine its just not capturing my voice? i tried all the mics though, and yesterday it was working fine on server mode but today not?

i tested the server mode yesterday on desktop it worked,

tried today on quest mic it stopped working both in desktop and quest's mic

not sure if that has something to do with it

now the perf is at 0 ?

ok back to 60 after pressing on "reload" but no sound still

also unrelated but every time i play something in vr and use this voice changer it crashes my gpu (even if i pick the server mode it still seems to make my gpu sweat a lot and crash regardless of whether its client or server, i thought server mode is less taxxing on the gpu no?)

[teal skiff]

yeah im there rn

[calm nebula]

alright, what browser are u using? are u sure it has microphone perms?

[teal skiff]

chrome

it does

i been using it for a while and it was alright but as of yesterday client stopped picking up my voice

then i tried server and it worked

but today it stopped working same as client

[rich plank]

You also tried with some other mic? It always give same problem?

[teal skiff]

yeah i tried all the mics

[calm nebula]

server mode is "less taxxing" on the gpu only if used with wasapiu or even better asio as explained in the docs guide
you still need to play every single game at lowest graphics, 1080/720p and 30/60fps cap

[calm nebula]

could you try other browsers too?

[teal skiff]

ahh okay thats good to know

[calm nebula]

also uncechk sup1 and use sup2 if u got noise issues

[calm nebula]

those optional settings could help u in performance and quality:

• Advanced Settings -> Force FP32 mode: on (THIS IS OFF BY DEFAULT! Turning this on improves stability. Increases VRAM usage by 200 MB)
• Advanced Settings -> Crossfade Lenght: Controls how smoothly the AI stitches different processed parts "chunks" of your voice back together. 0.1 for fastest voice, 0.15 for improved quality but increases delay by ~50 ms
• Reduce the delay on Windows via the Wasapi / Asio Guide

[teal skiff]

sure but when i click on my mmvcserversio it automatically opens chrome

[rich plank]

You should change temporarily your default browser to something else on windows settings

[calm nebula]

that's because it is the default browser, you can either change your default browser or just copy and paste the address link in another browser

[teal skiff]

oh alright

[rich plank]

Or also

Just copy the localhost url that you have on cmd

On another browser

This is more simple

[teal skiff]

oh in another browser it seems to work!

for client anyway

let me try server

[calm nebula]

what browser did it work with btw?

[teal skiff]

firefox

[calm nebula]

it might be that some browsers updates might give issues, or some settings that get changed in updates or are by default

[teal skiff]

oh server also works

[teal skiff]

if thats the case then

what do i have to do to get it to work in chrome?

or if firefox updates and causes another issue

[calm nebula]

we don't know which settings might have caused trouble, i mean you could try playing around but usually the best is just to switch browsers

[teal skiff]

when this issue happens does voice changer client get an update that i have to install?

my apologies if my question is stupid

[calm nebula]

well nope, actually wokada deiteris fork doesn't get any updates since december 2024

[teal skiff]

also i dont see the "asio" option

only wasapi

[calm nebula]

there is a newer (still getting updates even tho not as much mature) ai realtime voice changer based on RVC which has a normal window ui and some other perks, but it's nvidia windows only and not open source (atleast yet), called Vonovox, so you can't use it

[teal skiff]

oh the gloom 😭

[teal skiff]

oh?

is it less taxxing on the gpu?

[calm nebula]

you tried https://docs.aihub.gg/realtime-voice-changer/local/deiteris-w-okada-fork/#asio ?

[teal skiff]

i might upgrade to nvidia one day (when the next generation cards are available) so hopefully by then i'll be able to use it

[teal skiff]

downloading it

rn

[calm nebula]

the government made it, it has more taxes 🔥 /j
Jokes aside, if both wokada deiteris fork and vonovox are maxxed out (both using the reduce delay and best settings) they should perform similarly, tho vonovox fixed some issues like the extra having cutoff issues when it's over at 2.7

[calm nebula]

i mean it's your choice and depends on what you want to do

if AI is a need for you, ofc nvidia is a better choice

[teal skiff]

shoot theres so many different versions

sdk or asp-net core runtime?

wait

it says desktop sorry i got it

[calm nebula]

oh lol

[teal skiff]

its just for fun honestly

but i love it

[calm nebula]

this reminds me of when the nvidia ceo said this

[calm nebula]

anyways, is this solved?

[teal skiff]

i miss when that was true

well im trying to get asio and

it wouldnt open

i got the asio.gui installer

[calm nebula]

you got the desktop runtime 6.x?

[teal skiff]

i installed it and it wouldnt open. i already installed the desktop runtime yeah

this one

oh wait hold on...

i dont even have expressvpn im pretty sure

oh wth i did, im deleting express

[calm nebula]

Are you sure? Maybe you didn't fully uninstall it

[calm nebula]

BCUninstaller can be helpful

https://www.bcuninstaller.com/

It's FOSS (Free and Open Source Software), helps you uninstall it and search if there's unwanted remaining elements that can be deleted

At least this is my personal suggestion, not a need but can be helpful

[teal skiff]

ill get it i need it tbh

oh wow its really useful thanks for this suggestion

rn trying to set up the asio.gui

okay i repaired the runtime but the asio is still for some reason not opening...

like its fine now idk why asio.gui installer isnt letting opening the flexASIO gui

maybe i need to reinstall asio

still nothing

oh! i found it through the uninstaller app you gave me

i let it run and it opened a cmd really quick then it went away...not the correct step as its supposed to open a window

wait i opened it, it was the one below it 😭

[calm nebula]

Huh? You should be able to just search it on windows normally

[teal skiff]

(im detailing this for anyone in the future that faces the same problem as me so maybe i can help them)

[teal skiff]

wow you're right...

[calm nebula]

Does it work that way?

Or it doesn't appear when u search it on windows ?

[teal skiff]

it works yeah it opened the window

however 1 problem

i have 2 mics, one for my vr and one for desktop

and its only allowing 1 to be checked 😭

[calm nebula]

You use 2 different microphones at the same time?

[teal skiff]

not at the same time no, sometimes desktop, sometimes vr's mic

razer is my desktop, (the one above the checked one)

[calm nebula]

I don't have VR, but can't you just change it whenever ur going to use the VR one and then desktop ones?

[teal skiff]

from the asio window or the rvc?

[calm nebula]

You can't select 2 different microphones to use at the same time

[teal skiff]

oh wait im stupid i get it

[calm nebula]

Asio Window
Btw the program you got is called wokada deiteris fork, specifically the b2332 version
rvc means Retrieval-based-Voice-Conversion, not realtime voice changer

[teal skiff]

i thought it was okoda

[calm nebula]

Nope, okoda is a typo of wokada, and there are 2 different main versions of wokada, original and deiteris fork

[teal skiff]

i love this technology

[calm nebula]

Soo, you need any other help?

Now that I noticed I thought your PFP was off the game Helltaker lol

Kinda similar but I don't think it's related to that

[teal skiff]

oh it isnt

its from....a cursed show with an author that should be locked up (but unfortunetly he's creative and is a master at world building)

its called made in abyss

the character is ozen

https://tenor.com/view/ozen-made-in-abyss-plush-pat-озен-gif-9345597494453246449

okay ill test the asio now

so now i put both input and output as asio? this one?

oh right i do

[calm nebula]

Ah I see, I never heard of it before NGL

[calm nebula]

Yup both input and output should be asio

[teal skiff]

honestly for the better, its a really good story and has a lot of good stuff about it but due to how the author sprinkles his weird fetishes into the story i can't recommend it

okay yeah i think thats all, i'll test it out in vr and see if my gpu still crashes when i turn the voice changer on ingame

hopefully with these settings it wont

[calm nebula]

well talking about controversy it does remind me of Helltaker (nice gameplay but the reason why it was made is eh), TCOAAL (controversial horror psychological) and Yandere simulator (dev seems to be a weirdo)

[teal skiff]

wait whats the "default" option?

[teal skiff]

helltaker's tamer if you believe it

uhh

i dont hear anything and it said an error on the right side. something about sample not being supported?

[calm nebula]

@north rampart you know what this setting means? I don't remember tbh

[calm nebula]

Could you show the error in the CMD?

[calm nebula]

Tamer?

[calm nebula]

It seems like you did not match the sample rate of your virtual audio cable to your microphone. Return to the prerequisite step and ensure both are set to 48000 Hz

[north rampart]

For flexasio leave at default, the numbers are for true asio devices which flex isnt

[calm nebula]

https://docs.aihub.gg/realtime-voice-changer/local/deiteris-w-okada-fork/#prerequisite-match-sample-rates-for-both-wasapi--asio

[north rampart]

Also monitor is set to windows directsound, that might cause an issue if matching sample rates doesnt fix it

Windows wasapi on monitor should work while having flexasio

[calm nebula]

Thx for telling, I think I will add this to the docs

[teal skiff]

i mean yeah but this is set to 0 ill try to do what you instructed earlier

[north rampart]

I cant help with the specifics but its about output channels

[north rampart]

What is set to 0?

[teal skiff]

well they are both the same

[teal skiff]

ill do this step now

[teal skiff]

the perf

[calm nebula]

while you're at it, could u please show a full screenshot of this so i can add it to the docs along with the default info please?

[calm nebula]

did you click start yet?

[teal skiff]

yes

i tried client mode and i heard the voice (also the perf was on 70) but my gpu crashed, so the issue is only present in the server mode

likely something with how asio is set up or something..

[calm nebula]

could you try restarting your pc and check if it works?

[teal skiff]

ok

perf is still 0

server side

but on wasapi

i see the perf

and i hear myself

so the issue is with asio

(also gpu crashed again even in wasapi with no vr game open, vr+voice changer=death of my gpu 😭

might get an nividia at this point

Cuz amd 9070 cannot handle it (in vr)

[calm nebula]

@teal skiff i saw the message u just deleted, nope wokada deiteris fork is not meant only for nvidia cards, it has better performance for everyone, and especially for amd

[calm nebula]

wait i just noticed

SR should be 48000

try that with asio, and show a screenshot again

[teal skiff]

still at 0

the perf

[calm nebula]

could you show me the advanced options of ur recording and playback tab?

[teal skiff]

you mean this?

[calm nebula]

i mean this step https://docs.aihub.gg/realtime-voice-changer/local/deiteris-w-okada-fork/#prerequisite-match-sample-rates-for-both-wasapi--asio

[teal skiff]

same for both

maybe i change the channel from 3 to 2?

down there?

i noticed something. it said to put the latency (both) as 0.2, however every time i do that and save and re-open this its back to 0.0...?

yeah it would not stay as 0.2 no matter what

maybe thats why?

the buffer stays the same but the latency keeps going back to 0.0

OH

it was the channel

i set it to 2 and now it works

[calm nebula]

the one @north rampart told you to set to default ?

[north rampart]

That makes no sense, weird

Nvm, you changed the channels inside flexasio, not the one on wokada right

I misread

That explains why it didnt work, since 3 is not the default at all, you changed it for some reason. Wokada recognizes 0, 1 and 2 (iirc)

[teal skiff]

yeah

i think we're good now issue solved

thank you

[teal skiff]

1 small issue although i hear it it doesnt pick up in games or discord when i switch input to line 1 whether its client or server

[north rampart]

You dont hear your normal windows sounds or what are you saying

[teal skiff]

Basically i hear the audio on my headphones (the voice changer i hear it) but it doesn’t pick up on discord or games

Like the virtual cable is line 1

When i put the input in discord or games as “line 1” it doesn’t pick up in the game/discord

Like everything is working fine except the fact that it doesnt pick up in discord/games

[north rampart]

On wokada you selected Line 1 as output?

Or if you use flexasio, did you select the right things

If you use flexasio can you try Windows wasapi?

[Windows wasapi] on everything
Sr 48000
Input mic
Output line 1

[teal skiff]

weird now it works in both server mode and client but before when i was using a differnet mic (i changed the input in flexasio to be the mic i was using, and despite being able to hear myself line 1 was not being picked up by other applications

so inconsitant, im sorry for bugging you, every time i encounter a problem, soon as you respond it fixes itself

though question

is there a way to use noise suppression on server mode?

or something that can help with noise suppression?

[north rampart]

Nop

[calm nebula]

Nop, but u can use 3rd party tools like Nvidia broadcast

Except ur on and so u gotta find other 3rd party tools

[teal skiff]

Wait again same issue with the link 1 input not being picked up by discord or games

But only in client mode?

In server mode it works fine i can speak and others can hear me it gets picked up, but as soon as i switch to client mode (input my mic, output line 1 vb) all of the sudden it cant be picked up despite being able to hear myself

Should i get a normal virtual cable (the one i had before) and use that for client mode and the virtual cable lite (line 1) be used for server mode? Or what?

Ok so when i switched output from line 1 to smth else then back to line 1 (in client mode) all of the sudden its being picked up ingame, so bizarre but it works now ig

Sorry for bugging again

[teal skiff]

Yeah ill look into that later

[calm nebula]

@digital frigate don't invade others forums please, your messages have been deleted

@teal skiff can this post be locked and marked as solved?
