Available Resources

Static Resources

• voicemeeter://status: Connection status and Voicemeeter type information
• voicemeeter://version: Voicemeeter version and API information
• voicemeeter://levels: Current audio levels for all channels

Dynamic Resources (when connected)

• voicemeeter://strip/{id}: Individual input strip parameters
• voicemeeter://bus/{id}: Individual output bus parameters

Parameter Examples

Common Strip Parameters

Strip[0].mute          # Mute strip 0 (0.0 = unmuted, 1.0 = muted)
Strip[0].gain          # Gain in dB (-60.0 to +12.0)
Strip[0].A1            # Route to Bus A1 (0.0 = off, 1.0 = on)
Strip[0].label         # Strip label (string)
Strip[0].device.name   # Input device name (string)

Common Bus Parameters

Bus[0].mute            # Mute bus 0
Bus[0].gain            # Bus gain in dB
Bus[0].eq.on           # EQ on/off
Bus[1].mono            # Mono mode

Example Usage

Connect and Control

# Connect to Voicemeeter
await mcp_client.call_tool("voicemeeter_connect")

# Mute input strip 0
await mcp_client.call_tool("voicemeeter_set_parameter", {
    "parameter": "Strip[0].mute",
    "value": 1.0
})

# Set gain on bus 1
await mcp_client.call_tool("voicemeeter_set_parameter", {
    "parameter": "Bus[1].gain", 
    "value": -6.0
})

# Get current levels
await mcp_client.call_tool("voicemeeter_get_levels", {
    "level_type": 0,
    "channels": [0, 1, 2, 3]
})

Load Preset

# Load a preset configuration
await mcp_client.call_tool("voicemeeter_load_preset", {
    "preset_path": "C:/path/to/preset.xml"
})

API Reference

Voicemeeter Remote API

This server wraps the official Voicemeeter Remote API. For detailed parameter documentation, refer to:

• Voicemeeter Remote API documentation (included in samples/)
• Official Voicemeeter website

Level Types

• 0: Input levels (pre-fader)
• 1: Output levels (pre-fader)
• 2: Output levels (post-fader)
• 3: Output levels (post-mute)

Troubleshooting

Automated Troubleshooting

Run the comprehensive troubleshooting script:

python troubleshoot.py

This script will:

• Check system architecture and Python version
• Verify Voicemeeter processes are running
• Test DLL loading and API functions
• Provide detailed diagnostic information

Common Issues

1. "Failed to connect to Voicemeeter"

• Ensure Voicemeeter is installed and running
• Try running as administrator
• Check that no other applications are using the Remote API

1. "Failed to load DLL"

• Verify Voicemeeter installation
• Check if running 32-bit vs 64-bit Python matches Voicemeeter version

1. Parameter not found

• Verify parameter name syntax: Strip[0].mute, Bus[1].gain
• Check if parameter exists for your Voicemeeter version
• Some parameters are version-specific

Debug Mode

Set environment variable for verbose logging:

set VOICEMEETER_DEBUG=1
voicemeeter-mcp-server

Audio Test Samples

Generate audio test files for testing Voicemeeter functionality:

python generate_audio_samples.py

This creates various test files in audio_samples/:

• Basic tones: 440Hz, 100Hz, 8kHz test tones
• Stereo test: Different frequencies in left/right channels
• Frequency sweep: 20Hz to 20kHz sweep for frequency response testing
• Channel identification: Individual tones for multi-channel testing
• White noise: For general audio testing

Use these files to:

• Test audio routing through Voicemeeter
• Verify real-time level monitoring
• Check stereo separation
• Test parameter changes while audio is playing
