Question / Help Double Mic/Aux 2 and 3

[AH87]

Hello,

I am on Mac 10.12.3, using latest OBS 18.0.1. I am using a program called Loopback by a company Rogue Amoeba to route audio around. While playing around with Loopback and the Audio Midi application I somehow created a double of Mic/Aux channels 2 and 3. When switching stuff around from my Mac's sound preferences of input and output, Loopback, Audio Midi app, and OBS, the input of Mic/Aux 2, and 3 change between the doubles.

For instance, I take Spotify and route it through a Loopback virtual device, set it to Mic/Aux 2, and when I change it to say Quicktime, the sound comes out of the Mic/Aux 2 double. My OBS window has Default Audio, Default Audio 2, Mic/Aux 1, Mic/Aux 2, Mic/Aux 3, Mic/aux 2, and Mic/Aux 3.

How can I delete the extra Mic/Aux 2, and 3, without losing my settings, scene info etc.?

Not sure if this log file will help since this issue happened about 1-2 weeks ago, I have just dealt with it.

Settings, Audio and disable which one you don't want is what i believe you want.

No, there are only Mic/Aux 1, 2, and 3 in settings. I think this is more along the line of a bug. See the attached image. There are 2 Mic/Aux 2, and 2 Mic/Aux 3.

I'm having this same issue and haven't been able to find a solution....

For the sake of clarity you'd probably best disable all audio devices in Settings > Audio, leaving only those you've explicitly added to your scene in the Sources pane. Then you can safely delete any duplicates, or add any that are missing.

For anyone who doesn't know what's going on here yet, this is *Not* a bug.

You currently have audio input sources named Mic/Aux 1 and likely have your audio devices enabled within your settings. They are labeled the same so it looks like they are duplicated.

Go to Settings > Audio

Within this menu, any of the devices you set will exist across all of your scenes.

When you set an audio input capture, that audio device will only show in the mixer when the scene it is contained in is active. In order to get it showing everywhere, you would need to copy paste it to all of your scenes.

My recommendation is to set you persistent audio in settings and leave audio input capture for situations where you want to turn mics off for part of the stream. For instance, you could use it with shows where you have separate rooms and want to cut to different audio sources per scene.

I'd also recommend you start using a different naming structure like

S: <scene name>
A: <audio source name>
B: <browser source name>

This will make things a little more clear both in the scene arrangement as well as in the hotkeys menu.
