Question / Help Crashing on startup and removing audio driver

[Danklim]

Hi, i've used OBS regularly for the past few months but it will not open today. Could you please help?

Every time that i try to open it, it crashes immediately and i'm pretty sure that its also removing my audio driver or doing something to mess up my audio- it causes Logic and Ableton to say that they don't have an audio driver anymore (but they will be fixed if i restart them and don't try to open OBS again).

The audio driver problem started a couple days ago. The crash upon open started happening today. Whats going on with this? Anybody else having this issue? How can i fix it?


I'm using iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) with OS Sierra 10.12.6. Should i try updating to the most current OS?


Pictures of the first message and messages from logic and ableton are attached. Also 2 pictures of successive failure messages that appear after i try reopening OBS a few times.


Heres the crash report

Thanks, Dan

Afraid I don't have or use Logic or Ableton, so I've little specific to offer in this case.

As with general problems with OBS crashing on startup, have you moved the obs-studio folder from ~/Application Support to the desktop and attempted to restart the app? Sometimes corrupted scene/profile/prefs files can cause it.
