Desktop Audio sounds like it's in a drum.

My desktop audio, (with or without filters) sounds really bad, my audio when I am listening to it sounds perfectly fine, but after it's recording and I look back at the video, the desktop audio sounds not at all what it should normally sound like and sounds like it is in a drum or you are trying to record your audio by putting your phone up to the microphone. It doesn't matter if it is a game or Youtube, all my desktop audio sounds like this. I want it to sound pretty much exactly the same to the youtube video itself, or exactly like how the game sounds. Help please. :)

Does the bad audio occur both at your gameplay audio and your microphone? Within 'Minecraft Main Scene' you have an Audio Input Capture source with several filters: Compressor, Noise Suppression, Noise Gate, VST 2.x Plug-in. What's your goal with these?

I'd suggest to disable them all (click the eye icon next to the filter) and retest. Does it still sound being in a drum? If not, enable the filters one by one and retest. This way you should find the guilty one.

I don't think that the bad audio is both my microphone and my desktop, I think it's only my desktop. I also looked and the filters are only on my Audio Input Device, not the Desktop Audio in my Audio Mixer, I still tested it when the filters are on and off, and they both sounded the same. It also seems that bass is much louder on the desktop audio with or without filters, if that helps.

What could have happened if it sounds like recording a phone through a microphone: your gameplay sound is not recorded directly, but a microphone is picking up the gameplay sound of the speakers. And that can either be your external microphone (usb or mini jack) or the laptop's internal mic.

You have both a Mic/Aux global audio device and an Audio Input Capture source. Is this intentionally for two microphones? I'd recommend to go to Settings, Audio, Global Audio Devices and disable every device listed there (if desired: make notes of the current settings).

If you want to capture the gameplay sound at your Minecraft Main Scene, add an Audio Output Capture source to your scene. When testing, temporarily disable the existing Audio Input Capture (eye icon) so you'll be sure that every sound in the test recording comes from the newly added source.

My problem is fixed, but I don't know how, I'm not sure if disabling all my devices helped or not, but I looked back at my Audio Mixer at some point and there was another Desktop Audio in there, so now I had two. I tested out this new one and it was great, and it sounds how I want it to sound. I'm still not sure on how I got this new Desktop Audio but here is my current log file again, if that says anything.


Thank you for the help.
