Hoping to get a new setup soon, so I wanted to finish what I started in https://discord.com/channels/269408827059732490/1292159352794386473. Banana has a few more functions you'll really want to use if you have a basic setup.

Be sure to click on the link (https://discord.com/channels/269408827059732490/1292159352794386473) if you're completely new to Voicemeeter.
There are three key points I will cover here:
- If you project through your speakers instead of headphones, you can get feedback between your microphone and speakers
- A basic Voicemeeter setup will give you feedback from Discord. In other words, when someone else is speaking, Voicemeeter will throw their voices back at them with a delay, which is really annoying
- Adjusting Discord options to avoid feedback from others
Step 1) is easy. See the circled "A1" button below:
If you click on that and turn it off, the microphone will still project to everyone else (B1), but not back through your speakers (A1).
Steps 2) and 3) come together in a pair. First, the easy part. Click B1 under Voicemeeter AUX I:
One way to think of this is that it's the opposite problem from what I described above. You DON'T want to re-project the audio output from Discord back into your virtual input (B1), but you DO want to hear Discord from your speakers/output (A1).
But that's not enough! One last step. Step 3)
Back to user settings in Discord
Like last time, go to Voice & Video from the tabs on the left side
Here's the culprit. This will combine with Step 2) to prevent you from replaying other people's voices:
If that's confusing, "it just works", but a further explanation would be that that's where you mapped your special "do not feedback to input" output earlier from Step 2):
