Quote:

• Right-click the volume icon in the system tray and choose "Sounds"
• Click the Recording tab
• Click your microphone and click Properties
• On the Advanced tab, disable the "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" option
• Click OK
• Restart VoiceBot, does it make any difference?

Any suggestions? ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/voicebot-sound-not-working/?ID=4468c935-09bd-43be-aa9a-5eb28bb27d50#17 Thu, 11 May 2023 18:02:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/voicebot-sound-not-working/?ID=4468c935-09bd-43be-aa9a-5eb28bb27d50#17 VoiceBot There are a couple of things you can check for VoiceBot not detecting audio input:
* Is there a profile loaded? On a new install there may not be any profiles installed yet.
* Is VoiceBot paused? Try toggling the pause setting in the main toolbar and make sure the log reads "VoiceBot listening"
* Is the correct audio device selected in the VoiceBot audio dropdown (on the right side of the main toolbar)? Try swapping devices there and make sure VoiceBot indicates it is listening on the correct device.

If these all check out, you can try double checking your microphone's settings through Windows Settings > System > Sound, scrolling to the "Input" section and making sure there is input recording through your microphone there. You can also double check that the microphone isn't muted in Windows by going to the Input section above, clicking on "Devices Properties" for the microphone (make sure the volume in that screen is at 100), and then clicking "Additional device properties" on the right side, going to the "levels" tab, and ensuring the microphone isn't muted there. ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/voicebot-sound-not-working/?ID=4468c935-09bd-43be-aa9a-5eb28bb27d50#16 Tue, 09 May 2023 14:59:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/voicebot-sound-not-working/?ID=4468c935-09bd-43be-aa9a-5eb28bb27d50#16 VoiceBot I have the same problem and nothing seems to work. When I installed it, it never asked for permission to use my microphone nor anything like that. I looked up a turorial and apparently in the main screen, a little sound wave appears with the volume of your voice but I dont have that. What do I do? ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/voicebot-sound-not-working/?ID=4468c935-09bd-43be-aa9a-5eb28bb27d50#15 Mon, 14 Mar 2022 18:31:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/voicebot-sound-not-working/?ID=4468c935-09bd-43be-aa9a-5eb28bb27d50#15 VoiceBot Glad to hear you were able to resolve it! ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/voicebot-sound-not-working/?ID=4468c935-09bd-43be-aa9a-5eb28bb27d50#14 Mon, 14 Mar 2022 06:29:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/voicebot-sound-not-working/?ID=4468c935-09bd-43be-aa9a-5eb28bb27d50#14 VoiceBot Sorry to Dig this up. I just installed and can't see my mic at all also.
When I go to test the command, it seems the mic is recognized but the program says no audio input is detected.....
I have a M-Audio Air 192|8 as my audio interface.

*Update* Went into my "sounds" and made sure everything was pointing to my interface.... Works now....

Can you try updating to the latest version just to confirm it still happens there?

It can see my microphone is there, but no sound is getting through to the software. I've tried a few different things but nothing has worked. It would be really helpful if I knew the solution to this, thanks! ]]>
