Video Conference Mute breaks NVIDIA Broadcast software #14312
Comments
I have encountered this issue after updating to PowerToys v0.51.0. Updating completely killed the nvidia broadcast application in a manner described in the link above. Disabling conference mute does not fix the issue. Neither reinstalling either software cleanly. |
I second this. Updating Power Tools to the version with VCM completely breaks the latest version of NVidia Broadcast. I also had to downgrade broadcast in order to get it to work, but the onus here seems to be on Power Toys because other software with virtual cameras also seem to be experiencing comparable issues from what I've seen in forums. |
What works for me as a workaround is:
|
cc: @yuyoyuppe FYI |
Do you have to do this every time or something? They both launch at start up. I cannot reproduce your solution. |
Can confirm this workaround works, but sometimes doesn't persist. Would be nice to be able to completely disable/remove VCM from PowerToys for those who don't want it. I stupidly enabled it to see what the UI looked like, and Nvidia Broadcast has been giving issues ever since. I ended up downgrading to v1.2 as it doesn't contain a camera module, but the update notifications on startup are annoying. With this workaround you can at least be on v1.3, but sometimes it'll just stop working for some reason and you have to re-enable, re-disable, and then restart Broadcast to get it back. |
Yeah, after every restart. Gotta stop nvidia broadcast 1st ofc. |
What is the exact routing people have for this? Webcam -> VCM -> nVidia Broadcast -> Actual wanted app (ala Teams) |
/reportbug also :) |
PowerToysReport_2022-01-06-12-45-44.zip Note: Teams picks up VCM just fine, as long as VCM is launched before Teams, just the first time, so you can pick the VCM device. Note: I've tried to configure Cam -> Nvidia Broadcast -> VCM -> App, but VCM never sees the Nvidia Broadcast cam. VCM does see Snap Cam, but not OBS - so perhaps it ignores particular types of soft-cam. |
I don't have a camera. |
@balu92 You might want to check the VCM settings, as there's separate settings for Microphone and Camera. And Camera might still be clashing with Nvidia Broadcast. |
@Craig-Humphrey there is nothing selected for the camera as the drop down list is empty, because... I don't have a camera. |

Attaching the powertoys debugging zip. I also included in the zip the logs from nvidia broadcast, for both the version that doesn't work, and the version that does. Labeled in the .zip Cursory glancing, the main reference to Video Conference in the nvidia logs are found in the below file for the non-working version: The working version doesn't seem to reference video conference mute anywhere. PowerToysReport_2022-01-13-07-08-21.zip This error is referenced elsewhere in this github: #6246 (comment) - The workaround in that thread doesn't work for me.

[to keep this thread alive] |
Disabling video conference mute, on the other hand, for me has not.
Broadcast completely breaks down, can't find any cameras, freezes up, etc.
I'm still rocking 1.2.0.49 of Broadcast *with* video conference mute off
and it seems to work. Everytime I've upgraded to the most recent version of
Broadcast it happens again.
So it's either keep this configuration or remove Power Toys because I need
broadcast for work.

I've come to rely on both for work. Video conference mute is a great way to mute/unmute myself in meetings and minimize the window, allowing me to get actual work done during meetings, and quickly respond by using a global shortcut to unmute myself. This setup let's me be considerate of my coworkers by only passing audio when I mean to while also respecting their time by being able to quickly respond, and broadcast's noise reduction AI handles my inconsiderate coworkers who don't mute themselves. The problem here is outside of work, I rely on broadcast's updated 1.3 features for gaming. So every morning I have to untinstall broadcast, install thd old version, and at the end of the day, do the opposite. Its a giant inconvenience and pain in the ass, but it's something I feel I have to do to respect my coworkers. I'm aware there are other third party apps that can apply a global shortcut to mute my mic, but I'd rather not install more background software. That's the point of powertoys, bring all the little third party apps into one place. |
We believe this may be fixed with 0.55, can people do a quick verification? /needinfo |
0.55 didn't resolve it for me. |
0.55 hasn't resolved this issue. |

I can confirm issue is still present in 0.55 |
I have 0.55.1 and I don't think I've ever had any problems with NVIDIA Broadcast crashing (not sure when PowerToys was updated, sorry) but VCM does not show up in NB at all. |
If VCM isn't showing up for you you probably don't have the most recent
version which is why it's not crashing you for you.
The only solution right now is run an old version of Broadcast 1.2.x, or
run an old version of Power Toys, something pre VCM.
|
Just checked, I have the latest version of NB.

Right but it sounds like you don't have the latest version of power toys if
you don't have VCM so NB should work just fine. That's where the conflict
arises.
|
Isn't 0.55.1 the latest? Couldn't find anything newer on the release page. |
we have a fix but will be in 0.56 release, eta end of jan 2022. We don't have a test device that could repro it so we hoped a fix for something else would fix this. @yuyoyuppe found someone to do a remote debug session with and got to the heart of the issue. |
Assuming you meant end of Feb? Unless there's a new Powertoys that has
developed the ability to go back in time.
|
Yes, sorry, Feb 2022 |
I can confirm, that the latest update indeed fixed this issue for me. |
This is fixed with 0.561. Please head over to https://aka.ms/installpowertoys |
Up and running!
Thanks so much for your hard work on this.
