1. The Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling ("HAGS") feature in Windows is currently known to cause performance and capture issues with OBS, games and overlay tools. We recommend disabling it via
these instructions as a troubleshooting step. Be sure to restart after disabling it.
2. Two of your audio devices has a sample rate that doesn't match the rest. This can result in audio drift over time or sound distortion. Check your audio devices in Windows settings (both Playback and Recording) and ensure the Default Format (under Advanced) is consistent. 48000 Hz is recommended.
OBS Sample Rate:
48000 Hz
Microphone (Voicemod Virtual Audio Device (WDM)):
48000 Hz
CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable):
48000 Hz
CABLE-A Output (VB-Audio Cable A):
48000 Hz
CABLE-D Output (VB-Audio Cable D):
44100 Hz
HDMI/Line In (Live Gamer EXTREME 3):
48000 Hz
CABLE-C Output (VB-Audio Cable C):
44100 Hz
[VIRTUAL_AUDIO_DEVICE_PROCESS_LOOPBACK]:
48000 Hz
3. Update OBS to 32.1.2 or newest available version.
4. Browser hardware acceleration is currently disabled. Enabling acceleration is highly recommended due to the improvements to performance and significantly lower CPU usage for browser sources and docks. This can be enabled in Settings -> Advanced.
5. Multiple Game Capture sources are usually not needed, and can sometimes interfere with each other ((BM) FoM Gameplay, (BM) Gaming FS, Gaming FS, Gaming FS 2, Gaming FS 3 VERT, (BM) FoM Chat, (BM) Fullscreengame, (BM) CozyRoom and Greenscreen 2). You can use the same Game Capture for all your games. If you change games often, try out the hotkey mode, which lets you press a key to select your active game. If you play games in fullscreen, use 'Capture any fullscreen application' mode.
5. Make sure all 30 of your plugins are compatible with OBS 32.1.2.
