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

  1. Download VB-CABLE from the official VB-Audio website.
  2. Extract the downloaded ZIP file.
  3. Run the Setup program (e.g., VBCABLE_Setup_x64.exe) as Administrator.
  4. Click "Install Driver" and reboot your PC if prompted.
  5. Open ValVoice and ensure the audio output device is set to "CABLE Input".
  6. 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".
