@Clouder Very weird, like it completely gets muted at random times?

[@CpawsMusic]

@Clouder Does it say that it's muted on the Twitch VOD like a copyright sort of deal?

[@CpawsMusic]

@Clouder Not really sure then, I'd recommend reaching out to Twitch to see if they can point you in the right direction.

[@dibijoshuakwabena1650]

[@Dbop-x1j]

quick question, when you are talking, do you hear yourself through the headset? im trying to figure out how to still record my voice but not hear myself through my headphones.

[@AgoAgoGame]

This actually wasn't what I was looking for, but it was helpful information that I didn't know I needed. Thank you!

[@CpawsMusic]

You're very welcome!

[@ItIsSYN]

I been having this weird problem where I sound normal but then my microphone randomly sounds far away. I checked to see if it was my filters but it was not. My mic is a Rockville rcm pro if that helps?

[@ItIsSYN]

and to describe it more when I boosted the part of the audio to sound as loud as the normal audio it did not have the smooth voice kind of feel it had.

[@CpawsMusic]

Very weird, sounds like it could be a microphone issue if you ruled out that it wasn't any filers

[@ItIsSYN]

[@CpawsMusic]

Thanks! Happy I could help :)

[@OniRyo]

One thing to note: Normal media players (eg: VLC) will play the first available audio track by default and, as far as I know, can only play one track at a time making a 'full' playback (game + mic) impossible. As such, at 5:35 I also have it record Track 1 (same as the stream track) as a "Mix" so media players will play as expected. Not relevant for everyone, but worth noting for those who want to playback in a normal media player fresh from OBS :) As usual, amazing video even over a year later bro, been brushing up on my OBS settings and you are the first (and only real) stop needed :)

[@CpawsMusic]

Make sure you check the Audio Bitrate!!! My microphone sounded like a crunchy, static mess and I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out what was wrong! I set all channels from 160 bitrate to 320, and like magic my microphone audio was smooth as butter!

[@CpawsMusic]

You'd think they have it at 320 on default haha

[@S1mL1fe]

Audio is so bogus man. Good vid but it’s the #1 issue. I can play on ps5 and hook up my mic it doesn’t pick anything but my voice. PC picks up if I breath. It’s like console has a built in buffer or something. So now I have a $2k pc sitting because if I steam the audio drives me nuts

[@CpawsMusic]

Very weird, I'd recommend messing with the capture card settings like double clicking the video capture device source and click add custom audio

[@S1mL1fe]

@@CpawsMusic that’s the thing is I don’t use a capture card. I go through OBS but thank you and great video

[@trentonkoichi]

@@S1mL1feHopping in to comment almost a year later but you have me curious. If you are using your PS5, whats your current A/V signal flow to get your PS5 and Mic into your PC and OBS without a capture card?

[@S1mL1fe]

@@trentonkoichi no I would just record and edit on my ps5. I did figure out the PC side literally the best way I’ve found is leave everything on default

[@trentonkoichi]

@@S1mL1fe Interesting. I’m not going to lie, from the way you’ve described your stream/record set up and signal flow, nothing should work or is the super inefficient way of going about things. Considering you have a seemingly capable PC, you should get yourself a capture card (can get a capable ElGato used capture card for under $100). Avoid the built in stream to twitch or major video editing options like the plague. You lose a lot of functionality doing so.

[@CpawsMusic]

Sounds like it might be a filter triggering it. Take off all the filters 1by1 and add them back 1by1 to see which one is the culprit 😄

[@Lucky-Tries101]

I was also wondering if you could go indepth more into the two track audios, one for mic/aux, and the other for the game audio. I've followed the video as you did but I'm not getting two track audios.

Nevermind. I got it in the next video I did after changing a setting.

[@BipolarBLKSheep]

I'm so frustrated! I am not streaming, just recording. I have game audio on track 1, mic on 2, and discord on 3. However, sometimes it works perfectly, and other times it only records game audio and doesnt record mic or discord, yet in the audio mixer, it shows that its picking these inputs/outputs up. Im beyond myself and infuriated at this point with the inconsistency of OBS. EDIT: I figured it out. Solution in comments!

[@CpawsMusic]

I would double check that your audio inputs are setup correctly and didn't accidentally get mixed around before your next recording

[@zzzarius1638]

Did it ever work for you?

[@BipolarBLKSheep]

@@zzzarius1638 I found a workaround. So it turns out that it was the media player I was using to preview my recordings. Most, if not all media players that I’ve found only plays the first track. There are ways to get other media players to play multiple tracks but here was my solution: I had 3 separate tracks I was trying to record. Game audio, my mic, and discord. So, in order to hear all of them in a media player to preview them I put all 3 on track 1, since the media players only play track 1. Then, I set game audio to track 2, my mic to track 3, and then discord to track 4. So when I open the recording in premiere pro to edit them, I just delete track 1 that has all 3 on it, and then I’m left with the remaining 3 tracks that have each thing separate. I hope that makes sense. Basically I make it so track one is just there so I can preview my clips without opening them in a video editing software. But when I do open it in a video editing software, I just delete the first track so all I’m left with are the 3 separate tracks that I wanted to begin with.

@CpawsMusic I've been coming to your channel for years to help me with OBS but now i am stuck with this annoying issue. While on stream my mics voice capture seems to be to high as in if i talk softly the mic won't capture my voice and it will result in my voice being cut off and i already have a booming voice if i think i am talking normally. I can't use my really use my normal voice since i stream while my other half is sleeping but my soft voice would be like your normal voice. So question is how to i get OBS voice capture to be more sensitive and not cut off every sentence. Thanks in advance and as always keep up the good work.

Do you have any suggestions?

I'd check and see if your audio settings in obs are set to default, if they are, then they could be getting switched when you connect your headphones to your windows audio settings :D

Is it okay to up the audio bitrate to 320 since Twitch only allows 6000 kbps? Does it mean we should down the video bitrate to stay under that limit?

[@CpawsMusic]

Audio bitrate is fine at 320

I have a eGPU Breakaway Box 750ex with amd radeon 5800 xt. i cant get obs to recognize it on my mac mini

[@CpawsMusic]

Sorry not sure about that :/

[@MrCarnage502]

what if we can't get the addtional audio track to split? Should there be two files or one when the recording is over?

[@CpawsMusic]

If you have your tracks set to record to multiple in your obs recording settings then there should be multiple. also make sure that your video editing software can handle multiple audio tracks

[@MrCarnage502]

Which video editor are you using? I have tried everything and OBS is only outputting one file. My editor can run obs recording and a voice recording at the same time so I know it can handle two files.@@CpawsMusic

My game audio was fine but for some reason one just stopped getting any game audio from my capture card, so you know any fixes?

[@CpawsMusic]

I'd recommend contacting the capture card brand

If you were to be on a call on an app such as discord. Is there a way to have game audio on but mute the call and yourself?

[@CpawsMusic]

You'd likely need to split your audio sources

[@rylerrivers1673]

@ do you have a video of that for this situation?

Hey Cpaws, I have been watching your videos setting up my stream and have a question for you about my audio setup currently. I would appreciate it if you have a solution! Thank you in advance! I have an Xbox One X with an elgato HD60s capture card. I am using OBX studios as well. When I am in a party chat and am recording my videos, it doesn't record the party chat audio. It doesn't pick up any audio from my voice chat when streaming to Kick. I want my viewers to be able to hear my friends in the Xbox party chat. Can you help? Loving the content! Keep up the great work!

[@CpawsMusic]

I would recommend trying to set the Xbox audio settings in your xbox to come out of both your headset and TV speakers. Usually that will force the capture card to capture all audio 😀

Ironically I ment to click on the Mic settings video and didn't realized till the end that you plugged the video BUT while watching I was downloading DaVinci Resolve to switch from Sony Vegas and was skeptical if it can import videos with multitrack audio because the "totally legit" version of Premire Pro I have can't do that it which is why I was using Sony Vegas, but Sony Vegas likes to clock out of work while I'm using it very often (aka crash) and legit, holds my videos hostage cuz it cant render a 30-45 minute 1080p video on my or my editors computer sometimes. AND that's when I saw you answer my question inadvertenly with you audio import test in DaVinci. I know it wasn't on purpose but I wanted to mention it so THANK YOU for solidfing DaVinci as my new editor and for the audio info. (Now I'm going to watch the Mic Settings video like I meant to lol)

[@CpawsMusic]

Hell yeah! Have fun with it! Love me some free Davinci hahaha

I'm using razer headset that has a 7.1 surround sound. Every time I try to stream, it's no audio from my stream. So I just switch it to default audio instead of the 7.1 surround sound from my razer headset. How to add the 7.1 surround sound to OBS? Thanks!

[@CpawsMusic]

Sorry not sure about that

Hi i saw someone asked this prior but never responded to you, im attempting to stream and keeping getting a very noticeable echo, i do run my stream in the background which might be the problem so im going to try muting it but if i still have the problem do you have any suggestions?

[@CpawsMusic]

It's likely you playing your stream in the background unmuted

@@CpawsMusic It was, I felt very silly, so thank you for replying to that one comment months ago, it helped
