Last News and Press Releases! September 2026 VB Audio Unveils a Major Voicemeeter Update Version x.1.3.0, Marking 10 Years of Evolution: Reliability, Maturity, and a New Windows Audio Map for Complete System Visibility. VB Audio Software announces a landmark update to its Voicemeeter virtual mixing ecosystem, celebrating more than a decade of continuous development and daily interaction with millions of users worldwide. This new version introduces significant improvements in stability, workflow, and system transparency-most notably the Windows Audio Map: This new visual tool makes the entire Windows audio system visible in real time. And also, the multichannel mode selector on Virtual inputs, new limiter features and the Sub-Mix View A Decade of Refinement: Voicemeeter Reaches Full Maturity: Since its first official release in 2014, Voicemeeter has grown from a simple virtual mixer into a complete audio management layer for Windows. This new update reflects the maturity of a tool shaped by 10+ years of user feedback, thousands of support interactions, millions of real world configurations and continuous refinement of DSP, routing, and engine stability. Windows Audio Map: Full Visibility of the Audio System The Windows Audio Map is a new visual interface that displays all Windows audio devices and applications, their formats, parameters and routing paths. This map gives users, for the first time, a complete, real time overview of Windows audio, making it easier to diagnose issues, optimize routing, and understand how Voicemeeter integrates with the OS. It marks a major step toward Voicemeeter becoming not just a mixer, but a full Windows audio management console.  Reliability at the Core: A Firmware Grade DSP Engine with Ultra Low CPU Usage For more than a decade, Voicemeeter's strength has been its firmware like DSP architecture-a design philosophy that treats the entire audio engine not as a Windows application, but as a digital console embedded in software. This update continues to reinforce that foundation with new limiter fx on strip and buses with the Yellow and Green Limiter. The VBAN protocol is also maturing VBAN is built on a radical idea: networked audio does not need to be complicated, heavy, or wrapped in layers of abstraction. It can be simple, predictable, and as efficient as firmware - if the protocol is designed with clarity and purpose. VBAN's architecture reflects this philosophy. Where other audio over IP systems rely on complex negotiation layers, dynamic graph management, or heavyweight codecs, VBAN uses a minimal, single packet structure that behaves like a hardware protocol transported over UDP. Every VBAN stream, AUDIO, TEXT, MIDI, and now FRAME (video), follows a fixed, transparent format that developers can understand in minutes and implement in hours. With the new VBAN-Frame protocol, Voicemeeter can now capture screen and send it to VBAN-Screen application through network for screen mirroring or screen sharing over local network infrastructures. Voicemeeter's Future: Managing Windows Audio With the introduction of the Windows Audio Map, Voicemeeter takes a decisive step toward becoming the central hub for Windows audio management. As Windows continues to evolve, Voicemeeter's role becomes clearer: a transparent, reliable, user controlled layer that complements and enhances the native audio system. This update is not just another version-it is the result of ten years of collaboration between VB Audio and its users, and a foundation for the next decade of innovation. Availability: The new Voicemeeter versions (Standard, Banana, and Potato) are available now at: vb-audio.com / voicemeeter.com Updates are free under VB Audio's donationware model. VBAN-Screen application is on our VBAN page. VBAN protocol specifications on our support page. Voicemeeter Remote API are given by this free SDK on github.
