Filter off is not mute
The main filter button is a bypass. Off means clean pass-through to the same virtual mic, so the game still hears you.

SHITmic mangles your mic into that Xbox 360 Kinect headset vibe—lo-fi, blown-out, kinda cursed—then routes it to your game like a normal mic. Toggle it off and your clean voice still goes through.
Free app. Requires a one-time virtual audio cable install so games can hear it.

FAQ
Is the app free?
Yes. SHITmic is free to use and share.
Does filter off mute me?
No. Filter off bypasses the effect chain and keeps routing clean mic audio to the game.
Why do I need VB-Cable?
Games need a microphone device to listen to. The virtual cable creates that device: SHITmic sends audio into CABLE Input, and the game reads from CABLE Output.
What should I set in the game?
Set the game's microphone to CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable).
What if the meter says CLIP?
Lower Output Volume first. If MIC IN is clipping too, lower Input Gain or your Windows mic level.
