Question / Help 2PC Setup, Audio delays when alt tabbing a game

Hello,

I am capturing my PC gameplay with an Avermedia Live Gamer HD internal capture card and I am having an issue where the audio more often than not will delay by about 2 seconds if I minimize a game. It seems to occur when I bring the game back on screen. When this happen, my capture goes black and then very briefly shows a flash of green artifacts on screen before showing the game again. The only solution I currently have for this is closing out of OBS Studio completely and restarting. I'm using the Avermedia stream engine software to make it compatible with OBS. I didn't start having this problem until I reverted to an old driver to get a stable 720p@60fps because their current driver for whatever dumb reason doesn't output 60fps. I don't know if the older driver is part of the problem. If I launch my game and then launch my stream and never alt tab the audio is perfectly in sync, but the second I alt tab I get 2 seconds of delay that persists until I restart OBS studio.

Sounds like you're using a capture card in the same PC you're gaming on. Don't do that. Just use OBS's game capture instead.

When you minimize the game, does it change resolutions? Trying gaming at the same resolution your desktop is set to, or vice versa. I could see something bad happening if your capture card has to adjust on the fly to a new resolution.

Also, explain your setup in more detail.
