When recording a screen in an obs studio my audio is not synchronized with the video. The sound is delayed by two andsometimes three seconds. It bothers me a lot to try many ways like: reinstalling the program, downloading different helpers to get rid ofthe delay, changing settings, etc.
As for my recording settings, they look like this:

Is there any way to eliminate the delay.
I'm sorry for the mistakes.

Please delete and repost. For some reason every word in your post is a link to a Polish-English dictionary.

No output session in the log.

All I do see appears to be the failure of a game capture session on Fortnite, repeating for hours:

10:33:30.431: [game-capture: 'fortnite'] attempting to hook process: FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping.exe
10:33:30.447: [game-capture: 'fortnite'] capture stopped

No recording or streaming is ever performed.

So there's no way to tell how the recording is performed.

In general I'd say make sure your game is FPS capped and reduce your quality setting if the recording isn't smooth and synchronized. Audio delay is usually a function of system overload.

Nope.

Find the logfile of that session and upload it. It's likely that between the options "upload last log" and "upload current log" you've chosen the wrong one. Current log would be relevant while the app is still open after you've stopped recording. Last log would be relevant if the app has been quit after that session and reopened.

You can inspect the log yourself; if it includes a recording session there will be a line that indicates recording is starting.

Also just a startup log.

From the Help menu, choose "Show Log Files". It will open a folder with your recent logs.

Sort the list by date. Open each one, latest first. Look through them for a line entry that indicates that recording or streaming is starting, and then another one that indicates it is stopping.

After OBS stops a stream or recording session, it then writes into the log information about performance that is used to troubleshoot. It mentions "lagged" or "dropped" frames in rendering, encoding, or uploading.

Without that information it's not easy to guess what is causing your issue. If you don't run OBS, start an output session, observe your problem, and then stop the output session (recording OR streaming) then this information is not in the log. If you do that, and information is still not in the log, then it is the wrong log file-- go to the next one.

If the log doesn't contain lines like this:

08:58:23.633: ==== Streaming Start ===============================================
08:58:29.714: [rtmp stream: 'adv_stream'] User stopped the stream

08:58:29.715: Output 'adv_stream': Total drawn frames: 183
08:58:29.717: ==== Streaming Stop ================================================

Then either you're not pressing the record or stream buttons, or you're not providing the correct log. The

I would suggest switching to simple output mode, indistinguishable quality, large file size, and seeing if the problem persists.

The original log shows a certain amount of audio buffering that could indicate CPU overload.

Then reduce either canvas resolution or frame rate, or lower the quality setting. If OBS is causing sound to go out of sync, then the most common reason is that the computer is being asked to do more than it can.

The other possibility is that something is delaying the sound before it enters OBS.

I'm sorry, the sound was normal, but only in the first two movies.
It's still delayed.
I tried to change the resolution,but it didn't help
