Question / Help Game audio delayed and doubled/echo

[RamboTron]

when i stream any game the game audio is delayed to the stream by about 1.5-3 seconds. I have no idea if the mic is too or not.
in my device settings the audio input device is disable, however if i enable it and set audio sync offset to -1450 the audio is not delayed at all but is doubled/echoed.

this is delayed audio log file

When using a capture card, the Desktop/Mic channel should NOT be set to the capture card (as it appears is happening, from your log). That should be set to your desktop speakers.

The Audio Device dropdown is used to get capture card audio.
It isn't used for webcam audio as that's coming in on the Mic channel.

Set your Desktop Audio channel device to something other than your capture card, in Settings. Then set your cap card's Source Properties to use the device audio, in its audio device dropdown.

So I switched the desktop audio channel to something else and set the capture cards source properties to use device audio but now when i stream or preview stream i just get a "no device" screen

What do you mean, a 'no device' screen? Can you grab a screenshot, or describe more clearly? As in the capture device is outputting a screen that shows the words 'no device' (a capture card issue), or is it a redscreen (OBS not being able to init the capture card itself)?

Your logfile shows a negative audio time offset, which isn't going to work. You should also return your global audio time offset to zero (I assume you set that while trying to sync the capture device audio coming in over the Desktop channel to the captured video?)

sorry im very new to this and dont know how to configure everything properly

 

[RamboTron]

everything i set was through tutorials and what not

What do you think? Am I screwed?

That one is an issue with the capture device, not OBS. That's literally the video that the Elgato is putting out. I'd recommend contacting Elgato support about it; they regularly work with OBS and are very on the ball about getting their hardware working. Not an OBS-side issue though, that I can see.

Hmm ok thank you, I will contact them and let you know how it goes. So are the rest of my settings good to go?
