Question / Help Best audio encoding settings for Youtube

[negullah]

As title states, I have a 24/7 radio station on Youtube and not as much interested in video fidelity, but in audio one. I play my playlist through foobar and capture it in OBS, what audio encoding settings should I have for best audio fidelity? I've fiddled a bit with the settings but couldnt notice a difference, what I play mostly are FLACs and 320 mp3s.

As far as I know youtube limits streaming to 720p, how much does bitrate play into audio fidelity in particular?

Thank you very much

I'm using OBS 20.0.1, 64bit

not much settings to experiment with. make it 48khz, and 320 bitrate then.
install coreaudio - apple's AAC codec implementation, info in my signaure

make sure your soundcard also runs 48khz
