Are you sure you installed the libraries for AAC encoding ? Try to record with another audio format to see if it's the problem.

No, I dont sure, How do I check it?
And where i chose another audio format?
**sorry i novice at OBS : \

 

[Radzaquiel]

Before that, check if AAC is well supported by FFmpeg:
Type in a terminal

ffmpeg -codecs

then copy/paste here the "aac" line
Then do the samed with

ffmpeg -encoders

 

[puGo]

I get strange output

If 'ffmpeg' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
    cnf ffmpeg

:(

 

[Radzaquiel]

well...seems you have to install the "ffmpeg" package ! ^^'

 

[puGo]

well...seems you have to install the "ffmpeg" package ! ^^'

ok I have installed FFMPEG and hare the aac line:

 ..A.L. aac                  AAC (Advanced Audio Coding)

and at:

ffmpeg -encoders

i dont find AAC line

 

[Radzaquiel]

OK...the 1st line indicate you don't have any AAC encoder/decoder (or you would have "DEA.L." instead of "..A.L.")...install "libfdk-aac1" from packman repositories

PS: I wonder...how did you get your OBS on openSUSE ?

Well I install: "libfdk-aac1" and obs still not record and now the output of:

ffmpeg -codecs

its

..A.L. aac                  AAC (Advanced Audio Coding)
..A.L. aac_latm             AAC LATM (Advanced Audio Coding LATM syntax)

and at the second line i still dont find
:(
------------
I just add a "packman repositories" from hare: https://en.opensuse.org/Additional_package_repositories
and i think i install from yast own click at hare: http://packman.links2linux.org/package/obs-studio
or may be from my package manager. i dont remember

SOLVED

When you install OBS-Studio from Packman repo (or other home repo) it will fail to encode if you already had ffmeg installed from the default OpenSUSE repository.
By default it will not force the installation of ffmpeg from Packaman.

You see an error, in OBS-studio, telling you to check your codec and the log file (see in ~/.config/obs/log/)

The issue:
OpenSUSE default repo provides an ffmpeg (version 3) which has been compiled without acc support what is expected by OBS-studio in it's default setting.

The Solution:
1) remove ffmpeg (either with yast or zypper)
2) install the package named ffmpeg-3
ffmpeg-3 is the correct package name in Packman repo. It will install the same tools as the default ffmpeg, BUT with acc support.

After the change, is you check which Codecs are active in ffmpeg you will see that acc has now ED option (Encode/Decode) before it does not show the option DE
