Hi guys,

I have an issue with my soundboard I hope you guys can help with. I use 3 things, voice meeter, exp soundboard, and vb-audio virtual cable. It works, but, my problem is the quality. When i play a song in exp (primary sound driver output enabled) so into my headphones, the sound is perfect. However, my friend told me that it sounds a bit like through a radio. I went into overwatch on 2 tabs, and listened to myself through the other account. It did sound considerably worse. On top of that, it cut out, like someone was carrying the sound source to and from the mic. You know when you're talking to someone and they move away and to the mic? like that. I have no clue how to fix it. Please help if you can. Another way i checked the quality; i opened up obs, and set the sound recording to voice meeter, so i can hear what my boi voice meeter does. When i watched it, i couldn't hear any difference. Only on the extreme dubstep sounds, which i also sped up, but the quality difference was so minor, that it might as well have been psychological, or the fact that the recording was louder. (Exp is set to 60% of normal volume in volume mixer). So i conclude there is probably some issue in overwatch? Help plssssssss

Many game chat systems highly compress audio, this effect is exacerbated when sending in complex audio like a song. I use a soundboard that I send into game chat / discord and it's hit or miss depending on the game, even in discord the audio is compressed and converted to MONO.
