As soon as I open obs, all desktop sound sounds muffled.

Help.

As soon as I open obs, the sound of all programs sounds muffled (like putting the headphone under a blanket).

BUT, if I replay a recording, the sound is perfect.


Now, since the video remains in normal Quality, it is really annoying and I tried everything to fix it.

What I tried was:
Reinstalling obs
Disabling 3D sound
disabling audio enhancements.



If it helps, this happens with ALL recording software, not only obs.

update:

I have been using headphones all this time.

Now I tried opening multiple recording software with the normal speaker, and everything sounds fine.

This means that the problem must lay in the headphone settings.

You probably have a Bluetooth headset. If the mic of a Bluetooth headset is accessed, the headset switches to voip mode, and the quality of voip mode is low as you described. To avoid OBS access your mic, go to settings->Audio and set it to Disabled. You find your mic at the "Mic/Auxiliary Audio" entry. Might either be called "Default" or the device name.

So I have now disabled this microphone for obs.

Unfortunately, audio is still muffled as long as obs is open.

Any advice?

Ok it fixed it by disabling the mic in the windows settings. By using a separate mic it worked all fine!
