Question / Help Audio for some games does not work?

[Chrisbes]

I've been playing around with OBS, And i've noticed that for quite a few games, sound does not work. Such as BF3, Borderlands 2 and Half Life 2, whereas Just Cause 2 worked fine.

Anyone else have any issues with Audio?

Upon testing - It's my soundcard that's the issue. Any ways around this?

Sometimes there are multiple sound outputs for a system. Like you can have USB headphones set to pick up some things, and your regular audio pick up other things. You have to set your system default audio output in windows to make sure the stream picks it up at the moment, a fix for that however will be added in a later version

Well it seems to be that some games do not appear, or "work" with Windows Sound Mixer. I've noticed games that show an output on that work, Whereas games like BF3 do not appear on the Mixer.

The issue seems to be - BF3 outputs sound, but it doesn't show up in the Mixer. I think this is why the audio is NOT working with OBS.
