No sound on PZ with voicemeeter

[Stimi]

Hello everyone!

I have a very annoying problem, I have no sounds in the game..
also i use voicemeeter potato to manage my sound

-I reinstalled the game
-Verify game files
-Check my sound mixer
-Check game sound in windows
-Check for up-to-date audio drivers in Device Manager
-I tried in windowed mode and fullscreen.
-I tried launching the game with their "Alternate Launch"

I don't know what else to test please help me :(

after many new tests, I understood that the problem came from voicemeeter potato, when this one is completely closed I have sound..

Now I would like to solve this problem now that I know the cause :c

Well you solved the issue by disabling Voicemeeter right? So the fix is to disable it or set up its settings so they are compatible with PZ. As PZ does not like very high sampling rates for audio.

I found a fix that someone published but it's a bit boring:

"But if it's not working, I can just shut down Voicemeeter, boot the game, reopen Voicemeeter and then don't have any issues with it."

before all that I was already using voicemeeter and I had no such worries
I just wish it was like before

Question: are you splitting your audio streams with VM? For instance having game audio separate from browser/system sounds so they aren't captured when recording or streaming gameplay?

Because that's what I do and I had the exact same problem and was going crazy trying to solve it. The solution I finally found was going into Sound Settings > App volume and device preferences and manually assigning the output for Project Zomboid(needs to be running to show up here).
