Bug Report Dedicated Stream PC and having audio issues since updating

[Deadsens3]

Hi,

Seem to continue to have bad luck here with OBS studio. After every update i have audio sync issues. Ive tried all the "quick" fixes like deleting all my scenes and making new ones, ive tried using the video sync options with no luck. It runs fine at the beginning then after about 1/2hr it starts to slowly d-sync. If someone could link me to a copy of OBS 12.0 i would like to go back to that as that was the most stable version i found works for me.

Heres the log file for whatever reason. P.S this isnt my first time streaming been doing this over 1 year and have been reluctant to upgrade because of this.

Your computer seems to have issues to decode the 4 media sources you have non-stop. It slowly fills up the maximum buffer that OBS allows and starts to desync after that.

08:57:01.901: adding 725 milliseconds of audio buffering, total audio buffering is now 960 milliseconds
08:57:01.901: error: error while decoding MB 19 60, bytestream td
09:10:15.738: error: error while decoding MB 0 28, bytestream td

You also have a strange FPS value (like 29.97?). Use a flat integer value if possible like 30 or 60.

You can set up media sources to restart playback and not run in the background all the time.

If everything else fails, you can find every single older release here:

But maybe it's worth finding the actual problem and solving it, maybe it is an regression in OBS and a fix would help all users.

So i should run them to restart everytime i switch scenes? Ok i will try that. Im assuming i need to run CBR not VBR then? I will try those 2 things and give it another try. Thanks

By chance would you mind screencapping your settings for me and i will run exactly what you have

I would suggest to try reducing the active media sources you have and then slowly re-add them until the problem occurs. This will show you how many your computer can handle. Providing my settings won't do you much, my PC is roughly twice as fast as yours.

You can also try using the new VLC Media Source introduced with OBS Studio 0.15 (requires VLC to be installed), it provides more control over playback and can stop the video when not in use (which reduces the load on your system).
