Question / Help No sound when I start OBS

[Chaosfruitxqx]

Hi, I'm new here, and I just installed OBS Studio for the first time. The moment I launch OBS 32 or 64bit, all sounds are gone, and as soon I close OBS audio of every apps on the desktop, webbrowser, vlc, clementine, skyrim, etc, comeback.

here some info on my specs :

Windows 10 64 v.1607
I use bluetooth headset for audio output and mic.
GTX 760

Any idea?
Thanks anyway for reading.

Check your communications settings in your windows sound control panel.

Everything seems fine. The very soon OBS is started, there is no more sounds from anything and as soon I close OBS everythings come back to normal.

"seems fine" might still be wrong. What is that setting set to?

 

[Chaosfruitxqx]

That is what it looks like.

My Aukey bluetooth headset is the default device and default communication(mic) device too.

yes, its in french...

Do you have NAHIMIC?
If yes, disable it.

No, but I have some sort of old audio manager from ASUS that don't manage bluetooth things at all. Maybe its related?
My motherboard is a M5A97 R2.0.


[EDIT]
Okay, so I found out that I can use my analog output self-powered speakers connected with a mini-jack in the green input to the back of the computer. But I really want to use my bluetooth headset. My computer does not have a bluetooth integrated, I bought a USB bluetooth device.

The COMMUNICATIONS tab of the above screenshot is what I need from you.

reduces other sounds by 50%.
I tried differents options and it changed nothing. :(

[UPDATE 01/15]
Okay, I found that going on "Enregistrement" (Record?) tab in the Windows sound control panel did the exact same effect as launching OBS. So I deactivated my microphone and it fixed my problem. So no headset mic, but I have a better USB mic(Blue Snowball). I will try that tonight. Thank you anyway! :D

I deactivated my bluetooth mic in windows recorder devices and it fixed it for me. I also use a usb mic instead of.

Did you (or anyone) find a way to solve this without buying a new non-bluetooth mic?

Hi, I found solution for this.. i have a bluetooth headset with mic, and whenever i open obs i was not able to hear anything. SO what i did is on window sound setting under recording tab tried different thing like disabling one by one all. and finally one setting worked. I disabled headset and all other thing and enable "microphone array" option only, it will set as default device. see the attachment image. if obs not picking your bluetooth mic after this setting just restart obs or right click and go to mic properties in obs and switch to default mic if already default just change it from drop down and see which mic working for you.

This issue shut my channel down, leading to a psychological breakdown. I switched profiles to another to export everything to reinstall Windows, and BOOM! FIXED! I switched back to the old profile and it works. It has something to do with the profile.

So I've been reading through these forums and I'm having the same problem. OBS was working for as long as I was using it and then one day it just stopped hearing audio. Here is what I am using if it helps:
- Playstion 5 headset with usb
- external hyperX mic
I have followed all of the other fixes in the sound control panel but issue still isnt resolved. I provided the screenshots for the sound control panel settings and can provide more info if needed. Any help is appreciated
