How to use keyboard volume control inside Voicemeeter (VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN, MUTE) using Voicemeeter macro buttons.
This guide is only using software that was installed with Voicemeeter. No additional Software is required.
Voicemeeter is a virtual audio mixing software which controls the audio of your computer. Unfortunately, for many live streamers, Voicemeeter does not listen to keyboard media and keyboard volume control by default. Using the Volume control of your keyboard for Voicemeeter can be as simple as activating one setting in the Voicemeeter options.
If you use a more complex Voicemeeter setup, using the volume control keys requires you to configure two small macro buttons.
This video will teach you both methods to enable Voicemeeter volume control buttons.

@labeardod 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for this! *Some extra tips:* 1. Set "Button Type" to "2 Positions" so you can also press and hold your vol up/down keys 2. Boost your pc's volume to 100 then set the max levels you want on your bus volumes and now those will be the max when you hit 100 on your pc's volume meter. Only caveat is if you have different levels for your individual busses you'll keep increasing the one's with lower volumes as you hold / tap after you've hit 100. 2.1. Turn on "Limit Remote Gain to 0 dBfs" in the Menu so your busses never go above 0; there's no noticeable difference above 0 if your inputs are already maxxed out(just under red 😉) anyway.

@JustChillF 7 месяцев назад

How do you boost pc's volume to 100 and then set the max level?

@DemosthenesLok Год назад

This is a fantastic tutorial. I use VM simply for enhanced mic quality and I have never installed the virtual cable in order to retain the ability to use my keyboard volume controls. This video makes everything possible and opens the door to the nearly unlimited power of VM. Thanks.

@jellydevtv Год назад

Really helpful video the only odd thing was that by default my mute button on my keyboard already muted BUS[0] so setting it up as in the video meant it muted and then immediately unmuted it. Solution was to simply not mute BUS[0] and mute the other outputs. Thanks again as i would never have known about the macros without this!

@Mrobinson587 Год назад

This is so good man. I work from home on my personal computer and answer phones on it and I needed a fast way to mute my desktop speakers so I don't have to wear my headphones all day. I just set the headphones to mute on "f13" with my macro keys and "f14" for computer speakers mute. Now instead of clicking into 5 windows to change output (which I can't do on the fly with an incoming phone call) it's just a matter of a quick press and picking up my headphones.

@J4N3K__ 2 года назад

amazing video, this helped so much. one thing that i found out after the video by testing around. when ur setting up the makro u can also check a box that the button is exclusive so that windows doesnt use that key anymore. for me that was very important cuz beside changing the bus in voicemeeter it also changed the volume of windows and that was a pain in the a** LMAO anyways thanks alot for the idea never tought about it and also never used my volume wheel :D

@GreenBoxMedia 2 года назад

Thanks for letting us know. Can you explain your setup a bit more? Because I found that the windows volume does not affect any aspects of my setup once I use voicemeeter. (where did you notice a change when changing the windows volume?)

@J4N3K__ 2 года назад

@@GreenBoxMedia sure, so i also use voicemeeter banana. Since i was streaming just for fun last year when the dmca strike thing on twitch started, i had to figure a way out so my music isnt recorded on the vod. for that i have the music sources (Chrome, RU-vid Music, Spotify, etc) setup to output on the VB-Audio Voicemeeter Aux Vaio instead of the VB-Audio Voicemeeter Vaio. The source in obs then is disabled in the VOD Track. So i have a music-source and a desktop-audio-source in obs, when i dont put the exclusive key for using the volume wheel, it keeps changing my windows desktop-audio volume aswell as the output to my headphones in voicemeeter. so it basicly changed the desktop-audio on two different settings and it will end up more quite than the music-audio since that is only changed by the output volume of voicemeeter LMAO thats why it bothered me

@GreenBoxMedia 2 года назад

Very interesting as I have pretty much the identical setup yet the Windows system volume level does not impact any channels. Are you on Windows 11 yet?

@Eoin-B 3 месяца назад

You can tick 2 outputs at once (A1and A2). Go to menu, click one and repeat for the other.

Is there a way to do a button to mute my mic, like what number would I put in on the command thing.

@Xavier_BE Год назад

Hi thanks for the vidéo. Do you know if some documentation is available ? You use bus[0] bus[1]... for outputs, but how would you manage input volume ?

@GreenBoxMedia Год назад

Yes there is documentation on the website.

@MonkaSenpai Год назад

Very Helpful, but how do you set what windows volume equals the 0 DB gain and how to adjust it? Also, I can only go up or down by 12/-12 dB in VMB as opposed to the 0-100 slider in windows?

@GreenBoxMedia Год назад

According to the Voicemeeter Documentation page 44 (available on the Voicemeeter download page) you would set the gain to = 0. The voicemeeter slider indeed is in dB rather than on a 0-100 scale for windows. However, it is a -60 db to +12db and using a right click you can dile in any custom value. If you are using voicemeeter as your default audio device, the windows gain will be ignored.

@Clarification85 Месяц назад

Last update you can hook volume buttons for outputs A1 and A2

@Mentalcheez Год назад

Thank you! Quick question: in my case, the volume slider DOES still affect my windows volume still. How would I disable it so that the slider only affects voicemeeter?

@GreenBoxMedia Год назад

When voicemeeter is set to your default playback device, that should not affect your audio. In my case it also changed the windows volume but as said this does not impact the voicemeeter volume (as long as it is not set to 0 = mute).

@timmanock Год назад

Great video ! I'm thinking of adding a foot pedal to mute my microphone that's on Voicemeeter as a hardware input and was wondering if using macros inside of Voicemeeter was the way to go. How would I go about doing that?

@GreenBoxMedia Год назад

You would have to figure out what the key is your pedal sends to your computer and select that one as the macro trigger.

@timmanock Год назад

@@GreenBoxMedia I actually found out with a different video that the trigger in should be strip(0).mute=1 and the trigger out is strip(0).mute=0. I've assigned that to a key I don't have on my keyboard and can then use that for the foot pedal.

@w0rning 2 года назад

10/10 video. is there a way to do this macro shortcut on the virtual inputs? I have my audio split so ones my desktop audio, party chat, and music. it would be amazing if this could be done on my desktop audio only, because that's where my games audio goes and it would be amazing if I could increase and decrease the audio on the fly like that without having my friends destroy my eardrums.

@GreenBoxMedia 2 года назад

Yeah absolutely. Instead of addressing the BUS you would address the STRIP in your macro script.

@w0rning 2 года назад

@@GreenBoxMedia thank you, one more question lets say i increase or decrease my audio a couple db's on the fly can i set a macro for keys ALT+VOL.MUTE to reset my audio back to 0db? like "STRIP[5].__________" what would the blank be?

@w0rning 2 года назад

NVM I figured it out. I did "STRIP[5].gain =0;" based on what you said about creating the mute macro how just doing = instead of += makes it so you can preform the action once. again amazing video and thanks for the STRIP help

@ElpandaPlus 3 месяца назад

@ZachTheInsaneOne 7 месяцев назад

Is there any way I can do this for the virtual inputs rather than the outputs? I want to change VAIO 3 rather than B3, so that I can control how loud my game's volume is to me rather than how loud it is to others.

@GreenBoxMedia 7 месяцев назад

Yes. You find the keywords to use in the voicemeeter documentation pdf.

@pow5244 Год назад

I cant get the Hook Volume Keys (For level output A1) to work. I can adjust the volume nicely with the default macros (ctrl+f10 etc) but not the Hook Volume Keys. Do you have a possible solution for this?

@GreenBoxMedia Год назад

Is it adjusting the volume when you click the macro button in the application? If not its a problem with ths script. My best bet would be that your keyboard has implemented the volume keys differently, so the system is registering a different button when press than the vol ones. You can test this theory here: keyboardchecker.com/

Worked on Vol up buttons for all 3 bus.. but didnt work for vol down. i dont understand what error did i make. its running absolutely fine on vol up but not on vol dn

@GreenBoxMedia Год назад

Try coping the code from the vol up to the vol down and see if it registers the button. If it does just change the + to - in the code.

@drakonmotredos9607 7 месяцев назад

Another tip: If you want to control one of the inputs instead of the outputs you can use the term "Strip(0).gain" for input 1 instead of "Bus[0].gain" for output 1

@Meoiswa Год назад

Is there a way to limit gain to +0dBfs using this setup? The "Limit remote gain to 0dBfs" option in Potato doesn't seem to work for this (It does for MIDI)

@GreenBoxMedia Год назад

Unfortunately I have not used any limiters in combination with the Macro Buttons yet. I'd take a quick look at the Voicemeeter user manual to see if there is anything you could use to achieve this using Macro Buttons

@Meoiswa Год назад

@@GreenBoxMedia Asked in the official Discord. This is currently a bug (3.0.2.2) that will be fixed in the next version (3.0.2.4), currently in beta testing. With the beta version, the Limiter works correctly with Macro Buttons

Hi there! Excellent video. But I'm trying to create a macro in order to use the "A1" in the Virtual Input I use to separate spotify from my Desktop Audio (I'm a streamer). Is that possible? I wanna make a macro and integrate it to my streamdeck, but I don't know how to do it :(

You are probably better of looking into the Voicemeeter Streamdeck apps 😉

@MainhaLisa Год назад

@@GreenBoxMedia Well, I managed to find a way to use Voicemeeter through streamdeck. But the point is that I'm trying to mute ONLY spotify using a macro (only for the viewers, not for me). When I use the macro it mutes the whole sound of my computer. That's the point. Thanks for the answer anyways

@GreenBoxMedia Год назад

@@MainhaLisa hmmm so you are probably muting the output (BUS) but you might want to mute the input (STRIP) instead.

You saved Voicemeter from deinstallation :D Good Job unfortunately it doesnt work perfect. Keyboard has another range of volume. So if my keyboard controlled volume goes to 0 it mutes the sound, but Voicemeter can still have -30 and still playing sounds. Kinda like that. But better than nothing.
