Virtual audio devices allow you to route audio from individual software applications as if they were separate physical inputs to your RØDECaster.
Before you begin, install the Virtual Device Driver and restart your computer. This driver enables your computer to separate audio from multiple applications and send them to the RØDECaster as independent channels. The driver can be downloaded here.
After installing the Virtual Device Driver, follow these steps:
- Ensure your RØDECaster is running the latest firmware by navigating to:
Settings > System > Info > Check for Update
(Internet connection via Wi-Fi or Ethernet is required.) - Connect your RØDECaster directly to your computer using the USB 1 port.
- On the RØDECaster, navigate to:
Settings > Outputs > Multitrack > USB 1 Input
Then select Expanded. - Assign the newly available channels to physical or virtual faders on your RØDECaster as needed.
- On your computer, additional audio inputs (such as Game, Music, A, and B) will now appear.
- If these inputs do not appear, restart your computer.
Once configured, you can assign different applications to separate virtual channels, allowing independent control of each source on the RØDECaster.
Please note: Virtual Devices offer powerful routing capabilities, making them ideal for users with complex audio setups. However, they might be unnecessary for everyday use of the RØDECaster Pro II or Duo. If you don't need to route audio between different applications, you likely won't need Virtual Devices.
