OBS crashes after I installed Nvidia Noise Suppression Filter

[FlammerMe]

Hello,
After I installed Nvidia Noise Suppression Filter from after browsing to here: https://obsproject.com/ja/kb/noise-suppression-filter
Then when i selected Nvidia noise suppression my display blinked and OBS stopped responding, now when I try to open OBS there is a immediate display blink and OBS stops responding, can't even fetch log file to upload link so hence I have uploaded log files when OBS crashed.

Please let me if Nvidia noise suppression filter is incompatible with OBS-28

the link is a guide to enabling a feature already built into OBS. What is referenced to install is nVidia's associated (required) SDK, after which the filter will appear in OBS (you are NOT installing a filter into OBS when installing nVidia's SDK... there is a difference)

What are you doing for real-time monitoring of hardware resource (CPU, GPU, RAM, Disk I/O, etc) utilization [for ex. using Task manager’s Performance tab and/or Resource Monitor] to see if your system is being maxed out with your settings? especially adding a CPU intensive feature like nVidia's noise suppression (or at least it was, sorry can't comment on latest SDK and OBS v28 as that isn't my OBS setup)

and no surprise you are having issues when using the following
10:17:18.523: YUV mode: Rec. 709/Full
and worse, you are running that PoS s/w plugin streamelements which pukes all over teh OBS log due to childishly incompetent programming... just ugh

the noise suppression built in OBS uses CPU, the Nvidia one uses GPU which was available after I downloaded and installed the app from their website ,

and
10:17:18.523: YUV mode: Rec. 709/Full
this were default I haven't touched them ever because I don't have any knowledge of it, didn't touch them in either OBS-27 or OBS-28

streamelements was working fine for me in OBS-27ver and even in OBS-28ver

My OBS started crashing after I tried to use the newly downloaded Nvidia audio effects
I will check the GPU and CPU though

Well, you installed OBS 28 over SE.live, that's an issue. Uninstall se.live then uninstall OBS and reinstall OBS in order to fix the changes made by se.live and try again.
You also should remove the remaining se.live files from the %appdata%\obs-studio folder.

be sure to confirm that on your own (vs what others claim)

That is NOT default OBS Studio selection/setup for YUV mode... not even close. 709/Partial - is the default, I believe (you'll need to confirm)

There may be additional obvious problems, but I stopped with streamelements nonsense in the logs and the above

It says right in OBS that it will increase CPU usage and it does, already experienced it myself

I have no idea where the YUV setting is on the OBS. 709/partial - I have seen it, googled what it does but I didn't understood properly so I left it as it was

Ok will do and let you know

Uninstalled Streamelement application and did fresh installation of OBS, it's now working properly, have to setup all overlays again before I could stream but that Nvidia audio app is working with OBS now

I have this issue too - if you go into the event viewer in Windows, you'll see that the display driver stopped working and recovered. Also, toggling the filter off (greyed out eye) stops the issue, and then switching it back on resumes it.

I'm experiencing this with both the current release OBS, and with a portable version of the current OBS beta with the expanded NVENC settings.

I'm thinking about trying another full driver clean reinstall, but I somehow doubt it'd work.

FWIW I'm running windows 11, 22H2, and a 4090, along with the nvidia SDK that specifically says it's for the 40 series.

Well, I tried some things.

I thought, briefly, that an OBS uninstall and reinstall had done the trick, but weirdly it seems that the screen blanking problem was only gone while OBS window remained on the primary monitor - moving it to the secondary resumed the failures/blanking, and then I realised that when on the main monitor, although the blanking was gone the audio meter was clearly heavily delayed compared to the mic's input when the filter was active.

The separate broadcast app is fine. The video filters also appear to behave fine inside of OBS - but audio filters from within OBS cause serious problems.

Maybe... but what is definitely true is that those audio filters have a CPU impact, how large depends on which filter. You may simply have an overloaded PC (and yoru audio filters, or the settings you are using drive your PC into a bottlenecked state). What are you doing for real-time monitoring of hardware resource (CPU, GPU, RAM, Disk I/O, etc) utilization [for ex. using Task manager’s Performance tab and/or Resource Monitor] to see if your system is being maxed out with your settings?

Not in any way overloaded. 5950x, 4090, using nvenc - and the problem occurs simply whenever the filter is enabled in OBS, regardless of no streaming or recording. HWinfo for monitoring. 0% bottlenecks/utilisation issues there.

Full clean and reinstalls of drivers with DDU also performed, no dice. I've just given up on using the in-OBS filters for now, will check again sometime in the future.

streaming/recording is a certain amount, but NOT the major CPU and rendering impact, when using OBS. When you open OBS, is has to create the preview screen, with most (all?) filter and effects applied. ~2X resource impact (dual rendering) if using Studio mode... again regardless of streaming/recording

then depending on the driver code specifically, your CPU utilization could be low, and still have a process threadlock or similar situation causing a bottleneck. And then there is the reality that WIn11 is still effectively a beta OS

I'm having a similar issue. We've been running OBS 28 just fine for the last few weeks, but as soon as I turned on the Nvidia Noise Suppression/Echo Cancellation yesterday, my OBS began crashing. Anywhere from a few seconds into opening the program to a couple of minutes. OBS would not run more than 5 or 6 minutes at the very most without crashing. We're only streaming webcams, no games along with it. Core i7-9700, 32gb, Nvidia A2000 6GB. This PC is dedicated to streaming. Nothing else but OBS is even installed. As soon as I removed the Nvidia filter, stability returned and we test streamed for a few hours yesterday. It sucks because from what I could tell, the Nvidia Suppression did a great job. This OBS feature was one of the reasons I bought an Nvidia card in the first place.
