VB-CABLE Setup Guide
What is VB-CABLE?
VB-CABLE is a virtual audio device for routing audio between applications. It functions as a virtual hardware cable; any audio sent to the CABLE Input can be recorded from the CABLE Output.
Why does ValVoice use it?
ValVoice uses VB-CABLE to pipe the locally generated text-to-speech audio directly into Valorant without requiring a physical microphone. Valorant simply listens to the CABLE Output as if it were a real microphone.
How to set it up
- Download VB-CABLE from the official VB-Audio website.
- Extract the downloaded ZIP file.
- Run the Setup program (e.g., VBCABLE_Setup_x64.exe) as Administrator.
- Click "Install Driver" and reboot your PC if prompted.
- Open ValVoice and ensure the audio output device is set to "CABLE Input".
- Open Valorant and set your Voice Chat input device to "CABLE Output".
Common problems
- No sound in-game: Verify that Valorant is explicitly using "CABLE Output" and not "Default System Device".
- Installation failed: Ensure you right-clicked the installer and selected "Run as Administrator".
Key Takeaways
- VB-CABLE routes audio from ValVoice to Valorant.
- It must be installed as Administrator.
- ValVoice outputs to "CABLE Input".
- Valorant listens to "CABLE Output".
