Distorted audio capture but only on monitoring device

[Victor_ZH]

Hi all,

I don't think I'm the only one with this problem and maybe I didn't search properly or I'm just using the wrong search terms but I can't find a solution so I'll try here.

My problem is the following:
I use an audio mixer with the audio output connected to the mic input of my sound card and feed it into the stream with an Audio Input Capture source. The sound in the stream is clean and at the right level, but is heavily distorted on my headphone (the monitoring device). The monitoring device is the output of the same sound card I use for audio capture. I have tried to switch to another monitoring device (a second sound card) but that doesn't solve the problem.

A media source (for example an MP3) doesn't have this problem and sounds good on my headphone.

I have tried a virtual cable but I can't set it up correctly or this is no option to solve the problem.

Has anyone else experienced this problem or does anyone know where to find a post that describes the solution for this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Not sure if a logfile is of any use but here is the latest: Log

Correction: I just checked the short test stream and it turns out that the sound in the stream is also distorted.

The captured microphone sound in my stream is not the most important, so I guess I never noticed it before.
