Bad audio in headphones when I open OBS

[erick_eanv]

I have wireless headphones that I use to watch videos or listen to music, they sound pretty cool, but when I open OBS the audio sounds bad, as if it were canned. I don't know what to do.

In OBS settings→Audio, set the mic from default (or your headphones mic device) to disabled. If left configured in OBS, OBS will try to initialize the mic on startup, so your headphones will switch to voip mode, which is much less quality.

Hello koala, I am having the same problem; but after doing what you said, it still doesn't works, I have seen many videos regarding this but it still doesn't works.

In this case, you have to either live with the quality switch or get a wired headset or get a wireless headset that explicitly doesn't switch to lower quality voip mode (these usually come with their own USB dongle).
