Question / Help No audio monitoring when OBS open

[jugglingeek]

I am trying to record Project64 and Live Split. When I open OBS all the audio to my bluetooth headphones goes silent. However, if I make a recording, close OBS and play back the recording, I can hear the audio on the recording.

Known issue using OBS with bluetooth headsets that have a handsfree profile. Accessing them in OBS changes them into handsfree mode, so if you've set your monitoring device to be that headset in the Headphone profile, you're probably getting no output.

Thank you! I legit just made an account to say thanks. Remembered fixing this issue with a set of headphones I had to return and thinking it was simple, but could not for the life of me figure out how with this new set.

Switching everything in OBS and my desktop audio to be using the hands-free fixed it for me.

Shame about the audio quality drop, though.
