At the moment, Voicemod always connects automatically to the microphone set as your default device. If that microphone is unavailable, it will connect to another available one. Unfortunately, this behavior cannot be changed. For a program that positions itself as a tool for voice modification — often used, among other things, _to preserve anonymity_ — this is extremely problematic behavior. I suggest adding an option to disable automatic microphone switching. This simple setting could save users a great deal of frustration — and in some cases, even their careers. Moreover, I believe this should be the default behavior: after installation, the selected microphone should remain fixed unless changed manually by the user. But even an option for this would be great. Thank you for the amazing software and all the effort you put into making it better!
