Question / Help Audio is processing too slow?

[chris20855]

I have recently been trying to stream Desert Bus with music. Whenever I attempt to do so, however, I receive the message "Audio is processing too slow" in OBS. People have also reported that the music itself is "skipping" and "glitching", even though I am not experiencing these problems myself. I have included my DxDiag and my Log File, in case either of them helps.

Your log file upload is incomplete. Haven't heard of this problem before, but from what is in the log, you're using NVEnc encoding, streaming to Twitch, and using only 1000 bitrate and buffer. These settings are pretty bad.

You'll never good a good stream at 720p at either 1000 bitrate or NVEnc encoding to Twitch. Switch it to x264 encoding and use 2000 bitrate and buffer. Or lower your resolution to around 480p if you can't upload more than 1Mb/s.

NVEnc is only really good for saving to your hard drive, not streaming, and its only good at saving to your hard drive at very high bitrates, like 10000 or 30000 even.

Don't use MP3 audio, use AAC.
