How to know from log how many channels sound go on stream?


I capture vlc player asgame and stream movie with 5.1 sound but myself i use stereo mod with 2 channels. so 2 channells or 5.1 goes on stream?

2. and ihad chosen 320 kbps.why i stream in 160 audio?
 
when you set it to 5.1 (surround) you will record the complete 5.1 (surround) audio stream but the most streming services didnt support 5.1

when the streaming service didnt support it you only have the front speakers in the stream but center and LFE are not in the stream so you have shitty sound.
and what about 160 320 twitch?

Twitch doesn't support surround streaming.

It is very much not recommended to set OBS to surround if the service you're streaming to doesn't support it.
Twitch's audio bitrate limit is a hard 160
that is wrong (when did some random dudes on reddit became a credible source?), the quality options that get reencoded by twitch will use stereo 160kbit/s or for the lower quality options even lower kbit/s but the source option is not touched by twitch so streaming 5.1 or 7.1 works fine.
