Question / Help Game Capture HD60 S Audio WaveOut Issue

[Germaximus]

Hi,

I capture PS4/XB1/Switch gameplay. For Audio settings in OBS Studio I used to use (WaveOut) as the audio option for Audio Output Mode because the DirectSound spits out static every couple of seconds.

For whatever reason, WaveOut no longer outputs any audio. When I select it, the audio is muted. This forces me to use DirectSound which I cannot do because the static every couple seconds is too much to deal with.

Any suggestions?

Not sure what the bump rules are but it's been a couple days and I could still use help

I had my trouble to understand what you mean, maybe that's why no answers came.
I don't think you should choose either of the two but just "record audio".
At least that's how it works for me.
Although I then put my preview of OBS on my main screen so I can hear the game sound.
I hope I could help you.

EDIT
and... forgotten...

in the Advanced Audio Settings I choose "Monitor and Output" for the Elgato

Here again in German...
Ich hatte meine Mühe zu begreifen was du überhaupt meinst, vielleicht kamen deswegen keine Antworten.
Ich denke du solltest nichts von beidem wählen sondern "Audio nur aufnehmen" auswählen.
Zumindest funktioniert es so bei mir.
Obwohl ich dann meine Vorschau von OBS auf meinen Hauptbildschirm lege damit ich den Gamesound hören kann.
Ich hoffe ich konnte dir helfen.

EDIT
und .. vergessen ..
in den Erweiterten Audioeinst. wähle ich für die Elgato "Monitor und Ausgabe"

Hi John,

Thanks. This is a specific audio setting inside OBS Studio. I don't use the Elgato software to record or broadcast.

I need help understanding why in OBS Studio under the Properties of the Elgato Game Capture HD the Audio Output Mode will no longer play audio through my desktop speakers while using the Output desktop audio (WaveOut) option. This used to work for me but now it doesn't.

I can use Output desktop audio (DirectSound) but when I do that there is a static or blip-ish noise every two seconds which is horrible.

I don't speak German but I do understand why people think I would. =P

Can you just use the usual audio monitor feature of OBS to monitor that source?
