Audio Incompat with VoiceMeeter

Post by Hurricane Otter »

Small problem I identified tonight. Like a lot of people who stream to Twitch, I use a program called VoiceMeeter (specifically VoiceMeeter Banana) to pipe Discord and game sound into separate audio channels. I was mystified why I wasn't getting any sound at all out of Daggerfall Unity until I disabled VoiceMeeter entirely and rebooted; after that, it worked like a charm. There seems to be a conflict between programs like these and how Daggerfall Unity handles audio. There doesn't seem to be any way to assign Daggerfall Unity to a particular audio device, so it's impossible to correct it or even troubleshoot, as I can't tell what's going on under the hood. Bringing it up in case it's ever deemed worthy of patching.

Daggerfall Unity uses the audio system provided by Unity 2019.4, so outputs to the default audio device of the operating system. Seems it has absolutely no control over that.
