Question / Help No Audio from Media Source

[Swizzle]

I've been trying to figure this out for a few hours.

I can hear audio through OBS using the OBS browser. But when I have a media source selected, like an mp4 or avi, I get no audio.

This is my last log: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/b26f35c5e45fa1361bdb

Any help would be appreciated.

You're not supposed to get audio from the media source, any audio will only be heard in the recording.

To be more specific, the media source does not yet output audio to the desktop. That is something that needs to be fixed on it.

 

[Swizzle]

Ahh, ok. So I can stream and play a media source file and the viewers will be able to hear it, while I will not?

 

[dodgepong]

Correct.

We will be adding source audio monitoring at some point to allow users to be able to play their audio to desktop instead or just monitor audio from a source.

It's kind of a big feature though so I'm estimating it's delayed for approximately 2 or more patches.

Hi Jim

any progress on this issue? OBS is great. But I really need to listen to the soundtrack of the video and be able to control it like pause and play so I can make my recoding better. Any ETA for this issue?

 

[dodgepong]

No, not yet.

Not to revive an old thread but this is the only thing keeping me from switching to MP. If anyone knows a work around of third party plug-in for videos where I can hear them let me know :)

I see...I never got this question answered but I figured as much, I would love to have this feature soon...but as everyone else, we'll just have to wait when it's ready. :)

I also do like monitoring my sound in real time, especially when you have other sources that overlap, and want to audio balance in real time accordingly.

So far OBS Multiplatform is FANTASTIC, but as any other app...there's always room for improvement & for new features to be added.

An additional bug, when playing Quicktime videos using the animation codec (thus far the only way I know of to have transparency on video) the audio will cut out or glitch. This is consistent and happens to videos that play back just fine on regular OBS

some new information on this issue?
you guys saying, the sound cant be heared on desktop, but in the stream, right? i tried to simulate it by recording (not streaming), but i cant hear any sound. is that normal?

 

[Lilrex]

any news on this? not being able to hear the media source makes it hard to properly queue the transition

 

[dodgepong]

No news yet.

 

[Melaciour]

Why not yet..? It's been over a year, and as people have said, this is a pretty important thing to add.

 

[Osiris]

Because other things had higher priority, and one man can only do so much.

Hey Osiris, my issue is the same, only different. The audio from my 'Media Source' will not play while it is streaming. My webcam audio is fine. Now, here's the strange part...I tested the software on another laptop, and both my webcam and the media source audio works perfectly. I compared the audio settings on each computer and everything matches. So it seems logical that it would be a computer issue, but what setting on the 'bad' computer might have to be adjusted?

This is the only feature keeping me from switching to OBS Studio from OBS. Considering it has been a year, you'd think there would be some progress on it.

 

[Salazans]

Please make this happen!

 

[DemRupees]

Throwing in my vote to make this happen still.
