Audio Monitor

Audio Monitor 0.8.6

Just a little bug report.
Sometimes when I change the monitors for the OBS tracks on the mixer (like turning on or off different devices to monitor to), it covers the VU meter for that track with its fader, making the meter unreadable. Everything still works but just thought I'd mention it.

Thank you very much for this fantastic plugin! I'm using it to send the stream mixdown (i.e. audio track 1) via HDMI to another device. Unfortunately, it delays the audio for approximately 200 ms. I already tried the audio sync offset of my videos and audio capturing devices, but that doesn't work as the audio mixdown itself is delayed.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix that?

I get the same thing too but I think it's an OBS thing and adding audio buffer. I also noticed it on the NDI output too as far as I remember. I can't say for sure it's an OBS thing but that's what I've read.
Recordings are not affected for me however.

Awesome work. Installed for MAC 10.15.7 in OBS after adding effect - app hangs for a number of seconds then the graphics are corrupt in OBs filters panel. Needs OBS restart. Often adding the filter crashes OBS as well. I have Loopback and SoundDesk installed on the MAC
Hey! Curious if now a month later it's giving you any issues on a Mac. I'm hustling to find more Mac Audio resources on Audio Meter and other sound plugins and settings... not always clear Mac or PC, I guess assume if PC if not noted huh.

Thanks a lot!
Interesting: There's no delay on the audio monitor channel, so I have to continue using the monitor signal until I find a fix.

First, great plugin! Thank you.

Feature request: add a sync offset setting like the one available under Advanced Audio Properties.

@Exeldro , your plugins and great work made the foundation for me to start sports streaming recently, building a mobile streaming rig and making replays and more in just a few weeks.. So mega thanks

The question,
a setup with myself on studio/scene controls (with headset) and two commentators with each of them with headsets. Could I with this plugin talk to my colleagues so they hear my recommendations of maybe scenes/advertises/coming up interviews without the stream/audience picking my voice up?

thank you!

Really neat plugin. So far I had a lot less issues with this than with a Voicemeeter where I frequently encountered different audio issues like crackling and cutting off even after I tried all the possible fixes I could find.
I use this plugin to separate the discord audio from the gameplay audio and it works really well, I have not really noticed any audio delays, there are likely some but I can't really tell.

I still use VB-Audio Cable for Discord.


Discord input: My mic
Discord output: VB-Audio CABLE Input

OBS 1st Audio device: VB-Audio CABLE Input - (for Discord)
OBS 2nd Audio device: Realterk Digital Output - (for PC audio)
OBS input: My mic

Then in the OBS Audio Mixer I've set my SMSL M6 (headphones) output as a listening device for both audio devices via the plugin in the Filters menu.

In windows the Realtek must be set as a default audio device in this particular configuration otherwise the game will use whatever else is the default. (Realtek because that's what I set in OBS as a PC/Game audio).

Only disadvantage to this thus far is that I have to either have OBS turned on to hear sounds from the PC or I need to manually change the audio device in Windows to my SMSL M6 if I don't want to have OBS opened.

@CharlieCountryman this plugin supports volume sliders for the monitoring so it can be a different volume level than the stream output and you can monitor on multiple devices with this plugin

Hi, First, thank you for the plug-in, I'm having an issue that it appears from a thread on the MAC version of the monitor should not be happening on a PC. I may be misunderstandig so hoping someone can help

Using OBS 26.1.1 64 bit with audio monitor 0.6.1.

The issue is that the audio from an inactive scene is being output to the monitor. In the Audio Monitor filter for each mic, the device is set to "CABLE Input (VB Audio virtual cable)" The output from the cable is then used as the mic input for a video call in Chrome. Scene A has mics a and b as sources and scene B has mic c as a source. When scene A is active the audio from mic c is being output over the monitor, but is not output to a recording which records only audio from the active scene.

I understood from this thread that this issue affected MAC only, so it may well be that my setup is at fault. Thanks in anticipation.

There is a bug in the Mac version of OBS that sends all monitored audio devices to every scene whether that device is in the scene or not. Not sure you can work around this with Audio Monitor or not, but it's a bug in OBS with regular monitored audio.
