VoiceMeeter Banana Causing Instability

Hello!

I have about 350 hours in POE 2 so far. Still, the one thing that has confused me the most about stability issues with Early Access has been the DRAMATICALLY higher amount of problems I've had with my desktop and laptop, which both have similar specs. Upon the most recent Nvidia driver update which was released yesterday 1/30/25, every time my game crashed on my desktop, my audio output would bug out and reset. I thought this was an odd specific issue, so I decided to try something.

After weeks of trying every single crash fix under the sun, I found it.

Uninstalling Voicemeeter.

I used Voicemeeter to separate my audio tracks when I would occasionally stream, but I do not need it in my day-to-day.

I have since been playing for hours with absolutely ZERO crashes or stability issues.

I just wanted to make a post to hopefully bring this to someone's attention and hopefully help another player who has been as frustrated as I have been.

Bless you big dog.

Yip it's voicemeeter doing the nasty on me as well with PoE1.
Trying to find a solution because both are wanted.
