Question / Help High Memory usage

[Peev]

Ever since the last Windows update, I haven't been able to stream from my computer. At first, OBS just refused to open, but when I opened my task manager to force close it, thinking it was just being slow today, I say that it was taking up almost 3k MB, and using up 83% of my RAM, taking minutes to actually open, and when I decided to throw caution to the wind and attempt to stream anyway, no audio at all. This has only started happening since the latest windows update, and I have tried a fresh install. Any ideas?

any animated gifs or large slideshow sources?

One slideshow in one scene out of maybe 15. About 45 pictures

When OBS finishes loading, try removing that from all scenes it's in and restart obs.

That looks SO much better. Do you know why that was happening?

Because OBS stores all the images in ram in an uncompressed format to have them ready for display on 16ms of warning.

Still having the sound issue though. Any advice on that?

What sound issue?

 

[Peev]

This is my basic setup. Everything related to my audio is working. My microphone is perfect, my output is perfect. So why is OBS not picking up any audio from anything

Post your OBS session log please.
