Voicemeeter is a Windows audio mixer built around a virtual audio device that acts as a virtual input and output, so you can route sound between any devices and applications. Version 1.1.2.2 is 21.4 MB and was updated on 2025-12-11. The installer is fetched straight from the publisher's server, download.vb-audio.com.
A virtual device that routes any sound source
The defining point is the virtual audio device. Voicemeeter treats it as a virtual I/O, so audio from any source can be mixed and sent to any device or application. It handles sources both from and to devices and programs.
VB-Audio Software develops it and lists it under utilities. The tags point to ASIO and WASAPI support, plus the mixer role.
What a session with the mixer looks like
A typical session starts by choosing the virtual device as the output in an application. Voicemeeter then receives that sound and mixes it with other sources before passing it to a chosen output device.
The release date and the last update are both December 11, 2025.
How it differs from Audacity and Mp3tag
The listed alternatives include Audacity, GIMP, scrcpy, PDFsam Basic, Mp3tag and MusicBrainz Picard. Most of them work on files, such as audio, images, PDFs or tags. Voicemeeter works on live routing between devices and applications.
Of the audio-related names, Audacity is the closest by subject. Choose by task: routing sound between sources, or working on stored files.
