Can't really test it on windows, but if this solution works better than VB cable i'm all for it, so many people having issues with microphone...
Is it possible to maybe automate installation to make it even easier?

Not sure if we can really automate it (because of steam release), but i think you said steam release is kinda stalled and unlikely to be released anytime soon?... |
We can download and launch the installer automatically. Maybe we could investigate skipping their installer interface. Their license allows for redistributions for non-commercial apps
The steam review team said that they want it to be automated. The steam release stalled for now but this would be a step in the right direction nonetheless. |

If installed won't be made in current PR, then it should be moved into issue as improvement, probably moved into roadmap project as well.
Otherwise, not accounting that i can't test that (no windows), good for me
Not long ago I thought of completely replacing the microphone support on Windows with just Virtual Audio Cable, as it seems to be actually working, while VB Cable doesn't sometimes (it doesn't work when just installed, it requires a system restart, but better go with the more robust solution).
In this PR I keep VB Cable and VoiceMeeter as second options still. If after user testing VAC results stable and reliable, should I go ahead and make it the only preset option? (I would still allow for custom audio devices by substring)
