### Windows microphone streaming
## Microphone Setup on Windows

To use the microphone you need to install the [VB-CABLE driver](https://vb-audio.com/Cable/).
Set "CABLE Output" as the default microphone.
Then you can enable the microphone in the ALVR setting, leave "Virtual microphone input" to Default.
To use your microphone in ALVR on Windows you need to install **VB-Audio Cable** (or equivalent software). However if VB-Audio Cable is already installed but not working with ALVR **or if you encounter any issues**, it's worth following these steps to reinstall and configure it properly.

### **1. Install or Reinstall VB-Audio Cable**
1. **Download** the latest version of [VB-Audio Cable](https://download.vb-audio.com/Download_CABLE/VBCABLE_Driver_Pack45.zip).
2. **Extract** the ZIP archive.
3. Open the extracted folder and run **"VBCABLE_Setup_x64.exe"** as administrator.

- **If you already have VB-Audio Cable installed and ALVR doesn’t detect it**:
- Click **"Remove Driver"** then restart your PC when prompted.

4. Click **"Install Driver"** then restart your PC when prompted.

### **2. Configure Windows Sound Settings**
1. **Open** Windows Sound Settings (`Win + I` → "Sound").
2. **Under Output Devices**:
- **Do not set any "VB-Audio Virtual Cable" as the default output**, or you’ll hear yourself. Select your headphone or whatever you're using.

### **3. Configure ALVR**
1. **Open ALVR** and go to **Settings**.
2. Set **Headset Speaker** → **System Default**.
3. Set **Headset Microphone** → **VB Cable**.
