I'm using OBS since 6 months with my Boya BY-M1 without any problem!

Suddently, since a few days, my audio got worse: volume goes down and an odd echo appear!
I didn't change anything before this problem happens.

I made some basic check:
- all devices are muted in OBS Mixer Audio, except Desktop audio and Mic;
- mic's volume wasn't changed in OBS, nor in Windows
- my Boya is not damage, I tested another Boya BY-M1 (twin) and got the same probelm;
- restart pc.. the problem is still there..

How is possible that the day before audio was good and now it is broken?
And, how could I solved it?

My last log file:

Thanks.

You were running OBS 26.0.2 6 months ago?? You haven't done any Windows Updates in last 6 months??
'No' to both of those right? so you did change things

Log shows 2 audio devices using different refresh rates. Others have indicated that is BAD (so probably should go fix)
22:19:41.948: WASAPI: Device 'Altoparlanti (BluePRISM Stereo)' [44100 Hz] initialized
22:19:41.996: WASAPI: Device 'Microfono (Realtek High Definition Audio)' [48000 Hz] initialized

beyond that, I don't know as I'm still using 25.0.8 and not sure what all this log is indicating

At the moment I'm running Windows 10 version 1910.
My system auto updated more than 10 days ago (I cannot restore previous version).

I don't remember when I updated OBS to 26.0.2.6 but the last modified date of obs64.exe is 3rd nomeber 2020.

I did more tests:
- the problem is the same if I record with Windows Voice Recorder (this drives me to think it is not an OBS problem but a Windows problem);
- I deleted my Realtek High Definition Audio controller (in Device Manager) to let Windows reinstall it but the problem happen again;

The best I can do is to use filters inside OBS to correct the problem but it is a patch that don't correct at all.

its an driver issue download the driver from the realtek site reinstall it

Thank You.
I download latest Realtek audio driver and installed it.
Surprisingly the volume of Mic lower down even more than before!

I tuned it in this way:
- raise windows mic volume to 85%
- set windows preamp to 20%
- OBS filters

Now I think I almost near from where I was.
I think could be enogh for the kind of video I have to rec but that is not as before.
