Voicemeeter reinstallation - 17 May 2025

Audio driver error reported at boot since early May

• assumed HDMI, since not powered on recently
• then Sound Blaster suspected, based on right channel dropouts
• but mentions of menu and help in message eventually led to Voicemeeter
• Checking Driver Installation identified AUX VAIO driver failure
• online help suggested removing failed driver by Device Manager
• Seemingly not possible to simply reinstall AUX VAIO..
• Regardless, newer Voicemeeter version 2.1.1.9 has been available since December 2024

Downloaded .zip file contains voicemeeterprosetup.exe

• running that as administrator installs code in C:\Program Files (x86)\VB\Voicemeeter
  .. which includes this readme.txt
• ... also a copy of voicemeeterprosetup.exe, presumably to facilitate reinstallation..
• both 32- and 64-bit executibles are installed;  why not just 64-bit..??
• Start MenuVoicemeeter Banana x64 shortcut links to
  C:\Program Files (x86)\VB\Voicemeeter\voicemeeterpro_x64.exe

• Step ZERO???   weird documentation link
• New Voicemeeter User Guides has FIRST STEPS IN VOICEMEETER
  .. but in step 1,
  there are now eight Voicemeeter output devices instead of two

  
  
• Would not configuring VoiceMeeter for both input and output create a feedback loop?
• "One more thing:" should point back to QUICK TIPs,
  particularly Volume Control without the mouse
• hint to check System Tray in Menu
• hint to set 7.1 Surround (if appropriate) in Control Panel > Sound > Voicemeeter Input > Configure
