I'm having audio sync issues with my PS4 and Elgato using OBS.
The audio always appears after the gameplay and it is also cut off at random intervals.

I set scene buffering to 2000, global sync to 1500 and audio sync in Elgato to -1500 but that does not work for me.
I've tried messing with these values, lowering or increasing but to no avail.

If I put everything at default then the issue is still there (with audio bitrate 96/128) - so I googled for *audio sync* and found a guide that told me to change the settings to what I wrote above.

Also might be good to know, I never had this issue with the PS3 (6-months back though, can't test now), it's only the PS4.

Same issue occurs with Log 2.

Syncing audio to video time (WARNING: you should not be doing this if you are just having webcam desync, that's a separate issue)

I wouldn't use this. I would disable any auto sync stuff that way, the sync has less chance of changing and you have a higher chance of being able to sync. set global sync to 0 and elgato back to 0 as well and do short recordings. time exactly how off your audio is and if its still delayed past the video you'll need to set global to a negative value not a positive one.

Thank you!
Edit: the audio is 2,5-3 seconds after the gameplay and I can only set global audio to -700.
Edit2: found out that I had to increase scene buffering, i messed with these settings for an hour and I got nowhere, whatever I do, its always out of sync.

did you reset the elgato sync back to 0 as well? or maybe even try raising it to 1000 ofset for the elgato. this will buffer the video for 1 second.
