No Audio When Streaming

[r3con0ne]

Got a weird new problem in 30.1.1. When I upgraded to it, everything worked fine for recording. But, I recently tried a livestream, and there is no audio. Not desktop. Not microphone. The meters show the sound is being detected. And, the audio IS present in the recording. But, the audio is not present on the stream. Really hesitant to upgrade to the current version since I can't figure this out. Anyone have a solution?

For streaming all the audio should go throughout track 1. In twitch you can send via track 2 the music audio as it's not recorded on the VOD.
A log file from a session with the issue is also needed.

So, for streaming (using the screenshot), are you saying the empty bubble is the one I should be paying attention to? Because it only allows one bubble to be empty. Also, I tried using it with the number one bubble empty. And, got the same result.

(Pretty sure I got the right log files when I was attempting to livestream to YT.)

Please follow directions and recommendations on the analyzer and then test again:

Analyzer | OBS

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.

obsproject.com

Set OBS sample rate to 48000Hz
You should use NVENC, h265 or AV1 instead of x264
Once you start the stream you can't modify the streaming settings. It's similar with recording.

Thank you for all that. It really has helped a few things. I'll be keeping that in my back pocket, for sure. I'm a little confused by the analysis saying there is rendering lag and CPU encoder overload. Everything I have to monitor this says I am under 60% CPU usage and around 70% GPU usage during streaming. If I understand it all correctly, that includes the game operation, OBS streaming, and OBS recording.

Turns out the audio issue was me not understanding the bubble system on the Streaming Output page. There is only one bubble that is not "white". And, I need to make sure that is channel 1. Previous versions you had to select (aka check mark) the channel you would be using. So, the actual problem is solved. And, several side issues got fixed as well.

Thanks for your help.

OH! Follow up question. Is OBS a single core or multicore program?
