No option to change audio bit depth from 32Bit Float

[FoZNot]

Hi all,

I can't seem to find an answer I'm looking for within the forum so hope this isn't a repeat question.

I'm recording videos with OBS.

I need it to output 24bit/16bit audio instead of the current 32bit float IEEE.

The reason I need this is because after I've edited a video, I then need to export the audio only for mixing. To do this, the exporting plugin I use requires all audio files within the session to be the same bit depth.The plugin will also not work with 32bit.

I'm now finding myself manually converting all audio files from OBS within the video editing session down to match, which works but can takes hours.

Is there a way inside OBS that I have missed where this can be changed?

Hope this can help,

For any bit depth in a fixed point scale (PCM), you can apply the following formula:

20*log10(1/MAX_BIT_VALUE)

Hi Alan,

Thanks for this. How would I go about applying this formula to OBS?
