First off here are my logs:
https://gist.github.com/fa6cd5ebf06448b88d7e019e2d0bfe9c
Just to put this out there I dug through this forum and I'd like to think that I'm tech savvy so I tried out a bunch of stuff and nothing is working. OBS is acting VERY weird when it comes to audio. Now from day 1 OBS would OFTEN drop the mic audio completely. It would either go mute, or make a fuzzy noice, and this was 100% random when it would happen. Sometimes I would have to restart OBS several times right at the start of the stream to fix this, reconnect the device, etc. All the while this device still works on every other thing. Now lately there's a 90% chance that the mic will not work at all when starting OBS and it will still randomly drop throughout the stream. I know other streamers that use the exact same mic and they've never had this issue.
I know for a fact that the mic works without any issues. It never dropped during calls, games, talking to others, when looking at "recording devices" I ALWAYS see it picking up audio, and I use this thing VERY often and for hours at a time. Here is what I attempted to do to troubleshoot and none of these worked, or improved the problem:
- Removed all plugins to see if any were causing the issue randomly
- Tried a completely different device (Original device is Blue Yeti "USB", other device was audio jack mic)
- Reinstalled OBS
- Push-to-Talk is not on
- I unchecked the "exclusive" option for the mic in Windows
- Updated to Windows 10 (was previously on Win 7 with the same issue)
- One time I ran an entire stream with the computer picking up the audio from the mic and played it through the speaker (so I heard an echo on my headset) and besides the echos it ran almost perfect. But I stream board games so this can't always work, and when talking to other players it echos their voices. Just more evidence that it's the Mic setting in OBS
- I adjusted the audio output to the same format to the same rate (48KHz) on both the Window Settings and in OBS
So I'm kind of fresh out of ideas at this point. Can I get assistance with this? Is there an older more stable version of OBS that would solve my problems? I LOVE OBS and this is the only thing keeping me from being at 100% with the device and the only thing making me actually consider Xsplit. Worse part about this is that I'm running a live event in about 1.5 weeks which will probably draw the most viewers I've ever had so I can't have a dumb issue like this make me look bad.
