I found getting VoiceMeeter and HiFi cable with ASIO4ALL over complicated, and VoiceMeeter added tons of settings that I didn't understand. Others have had success with these programs, but honestly, I don't want to use something other than Windows' audio anyways. Using VB-Cable or HiFi cable didn't allow me to control the volume on my system.

Uses Windows' built-in volume controls properly If there's so many things to configure, something can easily go wrong if you need to change some settings, accidentally remove/break something, or want to port to another computer.
