MicMixer
What it is
MicMixer is a free Windows application that combines a microphone, music, and an optional voice changer into one virtual microphone for games, Discord, and other voice-chat software. Push-to-talk can gate the outgoing mix, while a setting allows music to continue during microphone gating. A configurable hotkey switches between normal and modified microphone modes, with an optional release delay. Music can come from local MP3 files, a YouTube link downloaded to MP3, or audio captured from a running application such as Spotify. A secondary output sends the complete mix to a device that OBS Studio or Streamlabs Desktop can capture. MicMixer also provides a click-through status overlay and local browser-source page. It requires a virtual audio cable, supports Windows 10 or 11 on x64, and is self-contained. Apache-2.0 licensing and local processing accompany no account, advertising, analytics, telemetry, or crash uploads.
