Audio Issues

Hello all.

Recently, I have come across with problems in regards to sound and audio. When I tested it the first time, the audio sounded "muffled" so, I thought I could adjust it via in OBS settings. However, afterwards, no audio is coming through and is all but silent. I have tried the advice of what others have stated such as the driver being out-of-date, switching the default of the audio on the computer setting, restarting my computer, etc. Nothing has worked and I am unsure as to what to do. Please let me know if you have any answers to this problem.

Thank you.

Recording? Log file? Screenshots of settings? All you've said so far is, "it doesn't work," which isn't really helpful at all.

This is not your immediate problem, but you've got a lot of Default devices. Change those to something specific, so they keep working. Default defers to the operating system - Windows' setting in your case - and that can change automatically without warning. If something worked last time and not this time, and you didn't change anything, that might be why. Don't use Default.

For your immediate problem, you have a video, but where's the sound? You said it was muffled, not silent.

EDIT: Oh, you did say it turned silent. That makes better sense. But the Default setting also hides what it's actually looking at, so I can't do much with that either. And you still don't have a log file.

You have this at the end, about a minute after startup (extra space added):
21:57:02.189: [win-wasapi: 'Mic/Aux'] update settings:
21:57:02.189: device id: default
21:57:02.189: use device timing: 1
21:57:02.203: Device 'Microphone Array (Intel® Smart Sound Technology for Digital Microphones)' invalidated. Retrying (source: Mic/Aux)
21:57:02.287: WASAPI: Device 'Microphone Array (Intel® Smart Sound Technology for Digital Microphones)' [48000 Hz] initialized
21:57:03.809: [win-wasapi: 'Mic/Aux'] update settings:
21:57:03.809: device id: {0.0.1.00000000}.{5b03f4b0-f9b5-4426-a406-277054de9be8}
21:57:03.809: use device timing: 1
21:57:03.822: Device 'Microphone Array (Intel® Smart Sound Technology for Digital Microphones)' invalidated. Retrying (source: Mic/Aux)
21:57:03.908: WASAPI: Device 'Microphone Array (Intel® Smart Sound Technology for Digital Microphones)' [48000 Hz] initialized
21:57:43.388: [win-wasapi: 'Mic/Aux'] update settings:
21:57:43.388: device id: {0.0.1.00000000}.{5b03f4b0-f9b5-4426-a406-277054de9be8}
21:57:43.388: use device timing: 1
So there's definitely *something* not right with that source.

A different thread with a slightly different problem, noticed that their permissions in Windows had been reset. You might check that.
