Question / Help OBS Can't initialize desktop audio; please help.

[Thomas]

Hey I've got to get this setup for work; and I've configured it correctly a couple times - but every time I stop the stream or reboot it seems to give me great trouble. Any hints? Log file below - thank you.

Not sure how to configure this, these are all devices in audio management including disabled ones.

You need to plug in your speakers. Currently you have no audio devices.

 

[Thomas]

I don't have speakers, but when I plugged in headphones and activated them it still gave that error message.

 

[Lain]

Could you give us a log file from when you tried to use the headphones?

 

[Thomas]

I was able to plug in alternate speakers and the stream is working now; thank you very much.
