Question / Help No In-Game Sound

[LD777]

I've tried looking for the answer to this; I just can't find it. So bare with me (I'm new to this).

Whenever I start OBS, sounds from say, Spotify, turn off. I also can't hear any game sound.

I have an Elgato HD60 Pro.
Running Windows 10

I checked "Communications" tab under Sound settings in WIndows and checked "Do nothing" - as I've read - and it still didn't work.

Thanks for your time!
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

Open the "Advanced audio properties" in the sound mixer of OBS.
On the Elgato HD 60, enable audio monitoring (mute output)
The mute output option makes it so that your stream won't hear the audio twices (doubled/layered), as the monitor outputs the audio to your main PC speakers/headphones.

Spoiler: Advanced audio properties

Thanks!
I got it working; but with selecting "Monitor and Output" and using a headset. Because my Bluetooth speaker doesn't seem to work with it. Any ideas? Is this a compatibility issue or a settings issue?

Thanks!
Edit: Update: Nevermind; got that working as well. Hmmm... lol!

Just be aware that "monitor and output" can do weird stuff for your viewers. Since "monitor" sends the audio to your PC's main output, and "output" sends the audio directly to the stream. So if you are capturing both, you get some weird audio layering.
Allways do a testrecording before going live

Ok, thanks!

P.S. My microphone sucks!

On second thought... Using my JBL Flip 4 (Bluetooth) Speaker as a Monitoring device is not quite working. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Using speakers for monitoring audio during streamin/recording is almost always a bad idea, as the mic could pic it up.
Sending it to the PC's main output should be fine, just to use "monitor (mute output)" or it'd get a double audiostream.
