the obs-asio.dll is definitely not in the plugins folder; it 's not loaded.
Upgrade your obs-studio (your version is 21 while we're at 22).
Download the installer from: https://github.com/pkviet/obs-asio/releases

Sound devices for semipro/pro have usually more inputs, better converters; for a device with more than two inputs, windows wdm drivers usually allow only the use of two inputs (all the inputs are mixed into a stereo pair in general). Asio is a tech developed by steinberg which provides alternate low latency drivers with ability to capture the inputs separately. For instance the Fast track ultra has 8 inputs; with asio one can capture each channel separately while standard drivers will allow only two inputs.
Interesting. I had wanted to have mono ins for the FTU since 2017. Really thanks for making this. Anyone relating troubles with the Fast Track and this? My computer has some problems with BSOD when I try to split the fast track stereo with the programs such as Live Professor II, which offer the option to split stereo pairs any which way.
This has turned into kinda a long semi rambling post so I must preface it by saying I am the greatest living expert of the Fast Track Ultra and I own both the smaller Fast Track Ultra with 4 XLR ins, and the Fast Track Ultra 8R which has 8 XLR inputs.
There is an issue inside the Fast Track Ultra and Fast Track Ultra 8R drivers which looks at the RAM wrong and can BSOD the Windows (warning do NOT install the FTU 8R driver to your FTU only system as I had never had even one FTU BSOD on my FTU only computer until installing the FTU 8R driver to the same computer). However, even though the driver install used to trigger the Windows BSOD mechanism right after I first installed the 8R driver, I have noticed that the BSOD's have been completely absent on that computer since the day that I stopped using both interfaces on it. Most likely I am just not driving the computer as hard as I used to. If you are experiencing BSOD you can tweak the system in control panel to remove the forced shutdown due to BSOD and the log generation. This will spare you from the nightmarish disk kill sound that happens and leave it up to your timing to press the off button and restart it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED tweak: Ctrl Panel/System & Security/ System/ System Protection/ Advanced/ Start up and Recovery SETTINGS / uncheck the boxes for restart and generate logs Write debugging information to NONE. REALLY Good tweak if you are rocking the Fast Track Ultra or 8R.
I noticed Windows BSOD gets triggered when the FTU outputs are set weird. Like if I was to try and stereo out a stereo signal through outputs 4&5 instead of the given choices of 5-6 or 3-4. I have done extensive research on the FTU driver via trial and error methods. I used both interfaces on the same laptop with about 90% success. But there were a lot of BSOD for the cheap and overloaded USB hub which was carrying the FTU 8R, alongside 4 or 5 MIDI devices and a webcam. Then I upgraded to a two laptop setup and now use one FTU on each laptop. The newer computer, an ASUS ROG with Ryzen 7 shows a different problem: static similar to that caused by buffer underruns--which never presented themselves in a similar way on the elder statesman of my al FTU all virtual studio, the Lenovo Y70 17. It may be cause of the lack of a USB 2.0 input on the ASUS or it may be something else is hitting the CPU at unexpected times. Hasn't happened since uninstalling Windows' Office 365 bloatware the other day. Hoping the FTU static is gone for good.
I would be interested in seeing a demo of this asio driver with the FTU! It's tempting to jump in and install it, and do a vid or two myself, but as I have everything working pretty good right now I'm going to wait some time first.
I never did get rid of the static problem with the FTU 8R. I even installed an NVMe as the OS disk and ran a debloat script in Windows 10 power shell. I tried a lot of things and still it happened pretty much once a day.
I did get a new interface though, an USB C 3.1 interface also from M Audio called the M Track 8x4. This could pretty much fill the 8R shoes i/o wise. But it has to be run with a Samsung T5 USB C to USB C cable (40 cm) and not the M Audio supplied 1 M cable, which caused device resets in Windows every 5 minutes. With the new interface I am having 2 hour livestreams with no static buffer problem.

Hello !
Sorry to revive this but I have a blocking issue that ressemble this.
I have the same problem except I know exactly from where the problem comes. When I install ASIO for OBS, I get the following error:
It seems like the installer is having issues installing the dll file. Can you send me a download link to the file or just give me some troubleshooting recommandations?
Thanks a lot!!!

i don't have this error when I install; that's very odd. No idea what is wrong in your case. Maybe your AV is blocking it ?
did you check the wiki of obs-asio for usage instructions ?
the dll is win-asio.dll .

Hi folks, this REALLY helped me to get ASIO audio from my DAW into OBS:
It works on OBS 26.0.2 and any DAW that supports VST 2.0
