Hi i always used the normal OBS But i recently changed to OBS Studio but now i don't have any sound coming from my elgato :/ even when i go to the mixer and go to properties of the elgato and change from record only to the 2 others (directSound & WaveOut) it doesn't change anything and when i go to the elgato settings my sound is on max in the elgato program pop up :/
Here is my log file maybe this helps : https://gist.github.com/cf823209473e150812fb266204c20c31

Then turn the sound up

Still unsure how to play through the speaker live now?

From another post I found on the internet



"If you want audio from your console while wearing your PC headset you will need a mixer and some cables. You can't monitor your audio using OBS"

and

"Yup. There is no way to get live audio output from OBS."

:(

Wait a sec....
I've never used anything but OBS studio...and I can monitor my game/headphone sounds from my PC speakers. But I do it by either going with"direct sound" or "waveout." Those are the only options I have found without using an external mixer that give me the sound I'm streaming over my PC. HOWEVER....because I've been battling with the audio since day one, I recommend (if you haven't already done so) that you start your stream and then go monitor it from your PC on the web. I have found this the most effective way to make sure that the audio is balanced and that it looks right. If you are recording instead of streaming, then do a test run, watch it, and see if the audio is there. I will tell you that I have learned that there are 3 different audio setting groups that you need to make sure all line up: the settings on your PC, the settings in the Elgato software & the settings in OBS. I recommend starting with the PC settings & checking everything audio (including drivers because mine didn't update automatically, even though I have them set to do so), then go on to Elgato software, and finally OBS. make sure the path is correct. I very well may write a little booklet for this situation after my own experience. If only one thing is set to send audio down the wrong path, you will end up with issues to drive you crazy...best of luck!!

Oh, one last thing I just remembered: check your headset..it the connector to the controller a 4 pole? It should be. And it needs to be broken down into 2 3-poles, which is why the splitters sometimes work...but if you have NO Elgato audio, this should t be the source.

Thanks WhistlinMama

"But I do it by either going with"direct sound" or "waveout.""


Have you got any screen shots of how to do this?
