How unusual. This is the same error that razer kraken headsets give, which makes me extra curious as to why that's happening for your headset, which is a completely different brand. With the razer kraken headset, I was originally certain it was due to faulty drivers, and users found workarounds which seemed to indicate as such as well (they would remove certain razer software or registry data and somehow it would work).

With this being said, this still can't be a bug within OBS itself, because the error itself says "Invalid format", and the problem with that is that for the primary audio channels it's actually programmed to use the format that the device itself tells applications to use, so this error is almost definitely an.. error, if that makes sense. It's saying "wrong format" despite the fact that I'm using the exact format that it tells me to use.

I honestly do not know why this is happening though, and I'm not entirely sure what to suggest as a workaround or fix outside of checking drivers and such, and perhaps windows update. The fact that it happened with a turtle beach headset is very strange, I had originally thought that when the kraken experienced this error that it was a bug in their drivers, but now I'm wondering if this is more of a windows bug.

Is this one of those 7.1 headsets?
