I use a hotkey to lower my master volume of my PC with a hotkey. Similar to audio ducking, but coded to work how "I" want it to, and delay to my desired duration.

So when I adjust my Master Volume slider in windows (manually or via Autohotkey) I've come to realize OBS still records at 100% volume. Why is this? How can I overcome this?

My main master volume is "Speakers" and in OBS my capture audio is set to Speakers. So shouldn't they have the same result as I hear?

I don't know WHY this happens (even thought I got a small theory). But I tested this and you're right. OBS seems to ignore the master volume. Decreasing the volume of your game/application however seems to work. It also seems to work if you decrease the volume of OBS itself.

If you can, try to lower their volume. I know, it's not the best solution, but ...

But in case you're not streamin and you're not too lazy, I'd recommend something else instead. Did you watch "The Art of Let's Play" by X484 (YouTube)?
I highly recommend to record game and voice in seperate files. Or you can't edit your audio whatsoever. ;)

Well my main function is live streaming currently. And yes I realize that modifying an application's volume in Volume Control specifically "does" work, but the Master Volume is my current focus at the moment.
