You might need some software in order to add more effects and more fun to your music and that’s why you need to choose the best one out there. You can do various things such as mixing, rapping, etc, using that software and add a bit more fun to music.

  • Virtual Audio Cable and Soundboard
  • Clownfish
  • VoiceMeeter and Soundbar
  • MorphVox
  • Soundpad
  • Rust Soundboard

All the above-given software are the best ones that you can try out. You can go and pick whichever looks the best for you. In terms of quality, all of them are the best. Each of these software has different purposes and techniques. You don’t have to worry about it. We will describe each and every detail and working procedure of that software.

Stream Spotify through your mic

You can play music through the mic in-game by changing your default microphone setting to your system sounds. You can try by going to Control Panel > Hardware & Sound > Manage Audio Devices > Recording and then enable the Stereo Mix option and set it as the default mic.

1. Step -1 App volume and device preferences

Spotify Output as VoiceMeeter  - Stream Spotify Through Your Mic

Windows 10 is needed because this is the only windows system to my knowledge that has anything similar to the “App volume and device preferences” setting.

By Steps –

  1. Click on Start
  2. Settings
  3. System
  4. Sound
  5. Advanced sound options
  6. App volume and device preferences.

This way we don’t have to download anything extra just to replace this Windows’ built-in feature. We still want the 2nd component for more control over things.

2. Step 2 – VoiceMeeter

Stream Spotify Through Your Mic

VoiceMeeter is a virtual audio device that acts as a VIRTUAL audio mixer with many inputs and outputs. Though it’s called a mixer, we won’t be mixing anything, just making use of some of its features in another way. In our case, it acts as a virtual microphone.

You can choose your main speakers (headphones) in VoiceMeeter by clicking A1. The VoiceMeeter Output (A2) acts as a virtual microphone (don’t select your speakers under A2).

You can hear the music playing in Spotify via VoiceMeeter Output 1 (A1). As you may remember, in Step 1, we chose VoiceMeeter Input as Spotify’s Output.

Moreover, you can mute VoiceMeeter’s sounds by clicking the green circled >A in VoiceMeeter Input. The sounds continue to go through the virtual microphone as long as the orange circled >A (VoiceMeeter Output 2, A2) is still enabled.

Step 3 Setup VoiceMeeter
