I'm new to this community and was browsing through the wiki when I noticed that Voicemeeter is on the blacklist. I've been using it for a few years to manage audio levels, and while it has caused its fair share of issues, I've managed to troubleshoot most of them. I'm curious to know why Voicemeeter was blacklisted since there's no detailed explanation provided. Are there any alternatives that offer similar functionality without the same issues?

According to the wiki, the main reason is that programs using virtual cables can sometimes cause permanent damage to Windows audio systems. I get that it's debated, since I’ve never personally faced that issue myself, but that's what they say. Kind of makes you wonder how legit that claim is, though.
I think it's blacklisted mainly because it creates a bunch of virtual audio devices. That can get pretty overwhelming for users, especially those not very tech-savvy. I tried using Voicemeeter and Virtual Cable, and honestly, I felt like I was drowning in audio devices! But I'm not sure if it can actually mess up your audio settings permanently or not.
