This just started this week. I am not sure what the cause is. When recording or live streaming my desktop audio is delayed. The microphone seems to be at the correct time/with the action in both recording and live streams.
Live stream has the same issue (edit: just checked last nights VoD and audio in the game is behind!). I did not change any settings in the last week in OBS - though I did upgrade my Nvidia drivers to the newest ones. I'm pretty stumped as to what caused the change. I mucked around and set my desktop audio to -1370ms which seems to be about as close as I can get to it being lined up but I'm STILL not sure what caused the issue in the first place.
I would prefer to not have to mess with delays on the mixer to fix this so if anyone has some ideas I'm game to try stuff out. Thus far I have tried...
Switching bitrates
Switching FPS from 60 to 48 and to 30
Tried both bicubit and lanzcos (not sure if that even has an effect since I'm not downscaling when recording but figured I'd try it out anyway)
I've tried recording with game capture, window capture, and monitor capture - all have the same audio delay issue.
I have tried switching encoders and have used my capture card, Nvenc, and x264. All have the same audio lag issue.
I have also tried the various rate controls, presets and profiles on advanced recording tab. No effect. Same issue.
I have tried setting audio to 48 instead of 44.1 - audio still lags.
Current settings for recording advanced tab:
Type: Standard
Format: mp4
Encoder: NVENC H.264
Rescale: off (1920x1080 recordings)
Rate Control: CBR
Bit Rate: 25000 (I've tested 10000 - 25000 at 2500 intervals. Audio issue persists in all of them)
Keyframe: 0
Preset: Default
Profile: Main
Level: auto
Two Pass Encoding: Checked
GPU: 0 (only have one card so that's easy)
B-Frames: 2 (default setting)
I have used these settings, exactly these settings, for many weeks now doing recordings for Youtube. No issues until this past week. I don't recall an OBS update during that time - only new graphics drivers from Nvidia. If any of you have some ideas on something else to test or try so I can turn off that audio mixer delay I'd be happy to try them out. Thanks for reading :)
