Is there no way to add the video delay feature to my game capture?? I only have effect filters on my sources.
The reason I ask is because I need the game sources (along with their audio) delayed so it syncs up nicely with my microphone delay.

*EDIT*

The reason why I'm doing my setup this way is because I'm using virtual audio cable for my microphone, you can probably already guess why I'm using it but just to be certain I'm using it so I can add effects to microphone to improve microphone quality, but with that causes a slight delay in microphone, being the only real consequence to using virtual audio cable.
However I saw a reddit post that was posted 10 months ago (link below)

"and for certain sources, you can also apply a video delay to the source."
literally the one thing that would make everything perfect for me.

Video delay is only available for capture devices as far as I know. The reason is probably that their input is already a "stream" that can easily be buffered without using too many resources.

A game capture or window capture on the other hand is captured directly by OBS without any compression as this would eat up CPU power and either RAM or Disk Space (which would be slow). It is then "rendered" into the scene before its sent to the encoder as a whole. A raw capture buffer would be needed with the aforementioned downsides.
Unless I am mistaken I do not think there will be a delay feature for those source in the near future.

Well that's unfortunate, it would've been the perfect thing to have if there was such a feature available for the game capture and windows capture etc!!
Within the the classic obs software you could delay the audio with the 'Global Audio Sync Offset (milliseconds)' and I could sync up the audio (from whatever) with my microphone by adding the right amount of delay; now the only thing it's missing is the video delay!!

Did you try to set negative values in Edit>Advanced Audio Properties>Sync Offset (ms) for mic - it works for my recordings.
