Hi everyone,

Ive been using OBS for around 3 weeks, and it has been absolutely fantastic. However, i have recently run into a problem with regards to my mic and i am at a loss as to how to solve it. I am unsure exactly where the issue lies but am hoping people with a little more knowledge may be able to guide me. Until yesterday everything worked perfectly now however things just are not right.

The issue is in respect of my mic. After much reading about and tutorial watching i decided to utilise VST Host and VB audio cable to try and clean up the sound of my speech, keep out extra noise etc. The order of things is as below:-

1) My mic is plugged into the front in on my pc. This is all plugged in internally and is where why headset is plugged in and always has been.

2) The VST Host input is set to front mic and the output set to VB Cable. As you may be able to see the green bars show that there is sound going through to this point. I have checked all the gates i had set and none of them have changed. Since setting this all up, it has remained throughout.



3) As above, the output is set to 'VB Cable input'. From what i understand, sound is being detected.



4) On OBS Audio, i have the main sound set to speakers and the mic sound set to VB Cable Output. My understanding being the sounds from my game will be picked up from the speakers sound and the mic would go through VST Host and be piccked up by OBS via VB Cable



When i stream, the game sounds are picked up, but my voice is not and i really do not know why. If i change the mic device from VB Cable to default it works, but the sound quality is not great (background noise etc).

I hope the above makes sense. Has anybody else had this issue or anything similar? Am i doing something fundamentally wrong?

Any help and advice would be great.
