Hello, I also just made an account to rate this guide, and to follow up on icebro's excellent feedback. Thank you both for helping a tech novice like me figure audio routing out!
After following the initial guide I found myself in the same position as icebro. After following icebro's additional guidance, I ended up ~almost~ completely set up. On reboot my pc would indeed create a null sink, and it would link said sink to a "combined" sink. but what it wouldn't do was create the 'combined' sink. So from there I'd have to manually do that within the terminal each time. What I did to fix it was add the command from the link icebro provided at the end of his context.exec files. So for me, it looks like this:
context.exec = [
{ path = "pactl" args = "load-module module-null-sink sink_name=swaggy" }
{ path = "pactl" args = "load-module module-combine-sink slaves=swaggy,<NAME CHANGE THIS TO UR OUTPUT !!!!>" }
{ path = "pactl" args = "set-default-sink combined" }
{ path = "pactl" args = "load-module module-combine-sink" }
]

This has now made it so a null sink is created on boot, it links to the combined, and it ~creates~ the combined. With icebro's original input it seems like it should do that already, but on my machine it didn't. I hope this helps!

Great plugin, I love it!

Personally the best free background remover for Mac available

It would be great if this plugin also had an option to create video clips, where you can choose how many seconds you want and use a hotkey to generate the clip instantly when you press it.

could add an option to not make a folder for a specific process please? like it just goes into the default Capture folder instead of having a folder made for it. much appreciated

Would it be possible to have this plugin available for Soundcloud? Much appreciated!

I absolutely love this plugin, but I have a couple issues with it atm :
- If I close or resize the game while streaming, it crashes OBS. I am using a "Game Capture" source with the source-record filter directly on it. Would love for that bug to be sorted out. I can provide crash reports.

- It can only record all sounds, or a single sound track. This is problematic because one of the main use-cases of that plugin is to record the gameplay without the stream effects / sounds to produce a "clean" VOD that can be transformed into an edited video.
So for this reason, we can't really use the "record all sounds" cause that would include stream sound effects. The record a single track works if you just want the game sound, but what if you also want your voice ?
You could put both on the same audio track, and record that track, but then they are mixed together and you can't adjust them individually, which is a problem. I am currently working around this problem by recording a 2nd video source which is basically a transparent image and use it to target my microphone sound. Would love to have a single file to work with

Was looking for a way to add open captions for my streams and followed nutty's Youtube video 'HowTo Add Live CAPTIONS In OBS Studio!'.

It works wonderfully. Thank you!

For me, this is the REAL DEAL and it might be the only audio plugin anyone will ever need for their audio routing/setup in OBS.

The PluginHost2 is just too powerful of a filter! Once you learn using its simple graph interface and explore the plugin nodes and their routing capabilities on the graph, you'll have a great time making your audio setup for a podcast or music production livestream/recording.

I love how I was able to use DeviceIo2 as a node in PH2. It was so versatile I was able to use it as an extra I/O, its input passthrough like feature and for monitoring and to whatever you want to route it from/to.

Everything is smooth and there's really no issue performance-wise!



P.S.
Just a concern when creating an OBS Output node in PH2. It will automatically make an OBS Source named "Ph2Out" but you won't be able to reroute the Output node to a specific "Ph2Out" source. I realized this when it was possible to add another OBS Output node which was then named "Ph2Out 2". I don't know if it's supposed to be like that but if it is, I guess it's good for me to have a single graph with, for example, a preset for a vocal and instrument mix.

Super easy to install and works great. For OBS newbies, make sure you are installing this as a script before you go to filters to add it. You can do that by opening OBS, toggle to "Tools" drop down menu, and select "Scripts" (for my current version of OBS, its the 2nd to last option on the drop down menu). Then you can follow the instructions on this page to get where you need to go. Thank you to this creator for making this LUT!!!!
