Hello,
I've searched Wiki-Guides and this forum to see if I could find an answer to my question without success. Hope someone here can help me out.
In OBS Settings>Audio>Global Audio Devices, what exactly is "Default" in both Desktop Audio and Desktop Audio 2? What is the Default?
Is there a parameter somewhere in OBS that I can specify what Default is supposed to be?
Thanks! Ed
 
Determined by your Windows OS Sound Settings
Personally (not a gamer), I disable ALL of the default/Global OBS Audio devices, and add the specific audio source per scene as required
 
Thanks. I understand what you're doing but what is the Default device? I can't find anything that indicates what the default device is.

I just told you - go to Windows Sound applet/control panel (usually, could be 3rd party sound app like Realtek as well, if installed), and check your Playback and Recording devices there
I'm sure there are other ways as well, (Win10 OS Sound Mixer)..
 
OK. Thanks. I see what you're saying. i was expecting the default to be user defined somewhere (i.e. what the user wanted the default to be) in OBS rather than being implied it was the Windows default.
 
OBS Default Audio device = OS Default
there is an OBS pull-down list to pick other OS recognized devices, rather than the user/OS selected default device
