Brief Audio Hesitation

[aaron.campbell]

Good evening!

We are currently having an issue with our audio in OBS while recording. The audio randomly drops or hesitates for a split second, and occurs numerous times throughout a recording. I have verified that all sources and systems are set to 48kHz. The video is coming in via Blackmagic Television Studio Pro HD and WebPresenter as a Media Device, and the audio is coming through as an audio device.

I have updated to the most recent version of OBS.

Any solutions? Thanks for any insight!

First of all, if you have iTunes or QuickTime installed, chances are you are already using the CoreAudio AAC encoder in OBS-Studio. But if you normally do not use or install any of those, there is another way to enable it. All we need is the...

I have this issue too. I record audio from FL Studio while making beats and then I also record my mic. Both audio tracks in OBS will have random audio dropouts that occur and will sound like pops or glitches. I downloaded the AAC encoder, and it makes the recorded audio sound way better from FL Studio - but the glitches still occur at various times throughout the recordings.

I had this issue with my Z170 PC. It had an Asus Xonar Essence STX soundcard in it. My new Z690 has no soundcard & no issues. You may find your answer

Question / Help - Audio dropouts when recording

Hey guys! I'm new to OBS and love it so far. I've ran into a little issue on every capture I've done. I'm getting random very short audio dropouts. The video frame does not drop. I opened the files in Sony Vegas and can verify it's just the audio. I seem to get 5-6 per hour of footage...

OP, I looked at your log. You're using on-board (Realtek) audio with no soundcard. Check your audio driver, if it's a generic Windows driver, replace it with the latest RealTek driver. If you still have issues, it's more than likely either the BMD or WebPresenter devices causing the issue just like the Xonar Essence was on my old PC.
