You're welcome, glad I could help!

OBS Studio for Mac currently requires a second program to help it capture desktop audio - https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/os-x-capture-audio-with-ishowu-audio-capture.505/

Hi admin, it works for me, now I can capture desktop sound, but the problem is since I installed the iShowu, I got lag on OBS, the video is always behind the audio, they don't match. What can I do now? Thanks

Delay the audio.

Edit > Advanced Audio Properties > Sync Offset

The attached is from Settings > Audio, not Settings > Output > Streaming.

You need to assign your sources to tracks, and select which tracks to stream or record.

Yep - you nailed it for me . sadly foudn the answer minutes before reading this post!!

Thank you =)

Depending on how the mixer is presented to the operating system, a third-party program may be required, yes.

However, if the mixer is presented as an audio INPUT device, then OBS should be able to capture it just fine.

Nothing has changed with the audio device support in macOS or OBS for quite some time, not sure why you're using a term like "crippleware" here. Any device that presents as a desktop audio device cannot be captured by OBS, and never was able to be. There is nothing we can do about this, or we already would have. Apple has not provided, and shown no interest in providing, desktop audio capture methods. This is why a third-party program is required, and due to this being a global issue on macOS and not an OBS specific problem, it doesn't make sense for us to reinvent the wheel when there are dozens of solutions to this problem already available (both free and paid).

If the device was working properly before, it should still work. I would check any configuration utilities the external mixer uses, and verify that the device has not changed output modes.

I’ve been having a similar issue. I’ve posted a few times about it.

I had soundflower connected with my audio interface as a aggregated device to connect traktor pro to obs. It worked fine having the aggregated device as a mic aux input into obs for three streams then it just stopped reviving audio with the same settings. It no longer lets audio in from my aggregated device. The only way for me to get audio is to split my output to one speaker and run the other line back in through one of the two physical inputs.

mom really new to this and I’m stuck.

After a while of digging around, I figured out a fix. Hopefully this is the same issue you've been having.
