    Thanks @ Milky for an awesome audio output processing experience. Works well !
    Been running the trial and seriously considering purchasing. 🙂

    I do however have an issue (And could simply be looking at the wrong solution for me) with using the onboard MIC input along with BAE. I understand the virtual Line1 input BAE uses to “capture” audio playback from applications, however my issue comes in when trying to use the soundcards dedicated MIC input. Problem is that it also captures my MIC input and plays it through the BAE output.

    Am I simply asking too much of BAE or is there a better solution to only process “Output” sounds BAE and allow the MIC input to be a completely seperate “Input” without BAE capturing/processing it as normal “output” sounds? I have even tried a USB webcams MIC and kept BAE Line1 as default Input, and set webcam to Default Communication device, but still hear the webcam as being played back through BAE processing.

    So if, as in my case, I have 2 Output Devices BAE pipeline & Realtek Speakers, and then two Input Devices BAE Line1 & Realtek Input (Mic) what should the BAE setup be?
    I have tried playing around with KS, DS, Wave for inputs and outputs but always hear myself talking when using mic (USB webcam or internal Mic jack(front or rear))

    System Specs:
    Windows 10 21h1
    Realtek ALC 882
    Creative SoundBlaster 2.1 using 2.0 input jack.

    Welcome to the forum and thank you.

    Is it possible that you have the “what you hear” option selected on the Soundblaster? That will map the mic through to the output, and therefore into the BAE pipeline. Bottom line is that anything appearing in the output will be processed through BAE, so, either the SB, or Windows Mixer is blending the mic into the mix.

    Yes. this is not the intended behavior for Breakaway Audio Enhancer. The only thing I could think of would be what Milky already suggested: somehow you’ve got your mic routing into your Breakaway Line 1. Could Windows be detecting the mic suddenly being activated and switching that somewhere to some semi-default? I’m just spitballing here.
