Question / Help My Audio Randomly Mutes Mid Recording

Nevernamed

New Member
This is really annoying when trying to record, The problem is not with my mic, that works fine, the problem comes when I am recording something and halfway through I realise that the audio is muted on the recorder.
So I start again and I make 100% sure that it is recording audio, halfway through I check again and again it has muted itself, I am not talking long periods of time either, I try to record for 8 minutes and all I can capture is "Hello" and then 8 minutes of silent boring gameplay.
I am on windows 7, a system that OBS Studio should support.
(I am sorry if I sound a bit angry, I am just really frustrated. Its been a long day and now something else goes wrong)
I cannot include a log in this due to a 1000 character limitation but maybe i can include one later?


Can you please help me?

Do you have a hotkey for muting the audio?

OBS Studio has a bug with hotkeys... Just wondering if that may be the case.
