Using VoiceMeeter macro buttons to change VATSIM audio routing
In a prior post I walked through how to use VoiceMeeter to route your VATSIM audio using VectorAudio (or TrackAudio). In that post the audio is always routed to your headset, which is fine if it’s busy.
But what if it’s dead and you don’t want to wear your headset? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could quickly re-route the audio to your PC speakers?
VoiceMeeter macro buttons to the rescue! Create a new macro button and configure it like this:
Make sure the button type is set to 2 Positions. You can assign any keyboard shortcut you like, or none at all. ALT+F11 works well with CRC and STARS as it doesn’t appear to be mapped to anything.
For the Request for Initial State and Request for Button OFF scripts use this:
strip(2).A1 = 0;
strip(2).A2 = 1;
strip(3).A1 = 0;
strip(3).A2 = 1;For the Request for Button ON script use this:
strip(2).A1 = 1;
strip(2).A2 = 0;
strip(3).A1 = 1;
strip(3).A2 = 0;That’s it! You now have a button you can toggle on to route your VATSIM audio to PC speakers, and toggle off to have the audio go back to your headset.
