I am trying use create a scene in OBS to use in Zoom. (windows 10 64)

I cant find a way in Zoom to select the audio output from OBS (Im using virtual OBS cam and that shows fine in Zoom).
If anybody can help, I would be most grateful.

In zoom in the audio setting the only choice is 'same as system' or the webcam -no OBS choice as source.

In zoom in the share advanced section I can select 'share computer sound only'

but so far I cant find any option that works, neither can I set a virtual audio output for Zoom from within OBS.

Help!!

There isn't any direct method to get the audio output of OBS. You can mix the audio independently of OBS.
The closest thing of a workaround is to divert the "monitoring" feature of OBS from its intended use. Install some virtual audio device, for example from vb-audio, and define this audio device as monitoring device in Settings->Audio->Advanced. Then go to the Advanced Audio Properties of OBS and set every source you want in Zoom to "Monitor and Output" (or Monitor only, if you don't want it in the regular audio output of OBS).
Then define this virtual audio device as audio recording device in Zoom.
A problem is how to monitor this output, since it only goes out to Zoom (or wherever you connect it to).

Hi Koala, many thanks fro your advice, its been really helpful.
I have downloaded and set up vb-audio voicemeeter, which does indeed allow me to have music from my electric piano + voice mic and feed into Zoom with a virtual cable.

Im now experimenting with using voicemeeter for the audio source and OBS for the video source.
