Question / Help Having trouble setting up headset/mic

[Mike_ThePaladin]

Hi,
I recently bought a webcam and headset with mic for streaming videogames. I can get the webcam to work, but having trouble setting up the headset and mic.

In the audio settings I do have the mic section selected to my headset, I'm using a usb Logitech headset with built in mic, the mic option on the main screen is turned and turned up, but when ever I try to talk it's not recording.

Any help will be appreciated.

20:04:25: Using auxilary audio input: Microphone (HD Webcam C270)

Your Mic channel is set to use the webcam's mic.

Would also strongly advise dropping to 30fps and 2000kbps. 50 is a non-integer divisor from the standard 60hz monitor rate and will result in juddering, uneven playback. 3000kbps will cause most of your potential viewers to buffer quite a lot. Twitch released viewer metrics a bit ago showing that the largest viewerbase can watch smoothly at 2000kbps; it's recommended not to exceed that rate, to give yourself the best chance of increasing viewership. Even going to 2500 results in a marked increase in buffering events.

Got everything switch as recommended and changed source to headset. Still no mic sound.

Does the mic work with any other audio program (Skype, Steam voice, TeamSpeak, Discord)? Does the mic bar move when you are talking? Is the mic icon under the preview window 'filled' (if it's 'hollow' click on it, indicates mic is muted).

 

[Mike_ThePaladin]

Yes, mic works on other programs, even when just recording with obs. When streaming the mic bar does not move.

Figured it out. I had to do the initial mic recognition setup.
