Hi,

I have some trouble to find a solution to my problem...
On every recording that I do, I realise that the microphone volume increases after 2 sec

The quality is good but it's only a matter of volume...

Btw, I use a basic microphone (rode) connected to my headphone input.

Thanks a lot for your help!
Cheers, Flo
 
Hi Flo, welcome aboard!

Unfortunately we don't know anything about where your rode mic connects to (headphone??!?) input of what? Which kind of soundcard is this?
Is there any kind of filter set on the mics audio channel in the obs audio-mixer?

If not, the problem sits outside the scope of OBS. Maybe that your soundcard consists of a multi-purpose socket/plug which accepts different devices to be connected into. Then it may be normal to have such changes in behaviour (for example if the low helping mic-power is switched on) after a second.
 
Hi Konsolenritter !

Thanks a lot for your answer. I will try my best to give you all the information

- The Rode smartLav mic is connected to the headphone (of the computer)
- Soundcard, no idea... I don't find the information on the computer but I have this laptop : https://consumer.huawei.com/en/laptops/matebook-d-14-amd/specs/
- No filter

For the second point ( multi-purpose socket/plug which accepts different devices to be connected into ), do you have any recommandation what kind of tutorial should I be looking for ?

Thanks a lot for your help, it's really appreciated !

(Sorry, not an english speaker... )
 
As your spec says its effective this "3.5mm headset and microphone 2-in-1 jack".

A workaround (in my humble opinion) would be to take down the mic's slider in the obs audio-mixer after those 2 seconds, to compensate for the "getting louder" effect. Is this possible for you? Or is it getting so loud that the audio sounds distorted? Or is it still okay then, just louder?

You can provide a short test video showing this on youtube (unlisted) and provide the link here so we can image how disturbing the issue may be.

If your expectations are beyond this, you should imagine the use of a more professional type external sound device. But maybe the hint above works for you already...
 
Thanks again for your answer !

I also tried to record with my HUAWEI Headphones (True Wireless Earbuds) and I have the same problem. I did connect them to my computer with the Bluethoot.

About the mic's slide, if I did understand what you mean (not 100% sure), It's not enough because I don't hear loud enough at the start. Actually, the setting are like that :

And for the videos(same result with my Rodemic and also the Huawei Headphones :

Oh.. you did actually help me to realise that on Youtube, there is no problem at all (I just listened to them when I made them "public").
Then, I also did try to listen them with VLC (instead of the windows software) and it looks like perfect !

Sorry for all the drama
And thank again to help me figure out that Obs it's actually working well ! (and I should always use VLC !)
