Aspect ratio is defined by your base resolution. You set your base resolution in your Video Settings.
 
Ok but my resolution is set at 1680 x 1050 which is my monitors correct resolution and it still has black bars on the side. That's my problem please help me :/
 
Make sure your source fits your scene. If you are referring to black bars on Twitch, this is because Twitch forces a 16:9 player, so the black bars are normal and expected. As long as you don't see black bars on your OBS scene, everything is fine.
 
The source does fit my screen, there are no black bars on my OBS scene. is there anyway to get rid of the black bars then on Twitch? My twitch stream is www.twitch.tv/nitesnite you can mute it if you want me and my friends are talking about WoW.
 
You'd need to buy a 16:9 monitor and/or run your game in a 16:9 resolution. Another solution is to use a 16:9 base resolution and stretch your game, but this will distort the image proportions and look stupid, so it's not recommended. I'd personally not worry about it.
 
I gave you all the solutions. There's no magic fix where you can just tick "Make black bars go away". The better fix would be for Twitch to stop forcing a 16:9 video player and make it vary based on the actual video size.
 
Sorry, that is not an appropriate response to people who helped develop the free software which you are using. Good luck solving your problem.
 
Nitesdeath, R1CH is telling you the way to fix the problem. That kind of reaction is completely uncalled for.

The only way to "get rid of the black bars" is to stream in a 16:9 resolution, such as 1280x720. Your monitor is a 16:10 monitor. So if you want to play your game and stream it at a 16:9 resolution, you only have a couple options:

* Change the resolution of the game to a 16:9 resolution, which will do one of three things:
- distort the game on your monitor
- add black bars on your monitor
- show part of your desktop while the game is going on

or

* Stretch the 16:10 version of the game to 16:9 in OBS, distorting the picture on the stream.

Or you could stream at 16:10 and live with it.

If you want to stream with the game taking up the full screen on both your monitor and the stream, you have to own a 16:9 monitor.

Those are all the answers. If you refuse to acknowledge them, then there's nothing more to do here.

Code: 
1364x768

I think you meant to type 1366x768 in the video tab of settings.
