Question / Help OBS Keeps Crashing

[paperKB]

Having an issue with OBS, sometimes I can run 1hr-1.5hr and then it crashes, other times it'll stream for 20 mins then it crashes and repeats every 20 mins. I copy & pasted the error notes below if anyone has any insight into what could be causing this?

I put it in a Google Doc and have a link here.

Related to one of your audio inputs?

I have headphones plugged in, they’re making it crash?

I don't know.

Are you attempting to capture system audio? This requires 3rd party software-- if so, which one are you using?

Yes, I capture the desktop audio with Soundflower.

I wonder if that is the cause, then. I know that there were problems getting signed binaries for SoundFlower, and that at one point installing it required disabling SIP, at least temporarily.

I would wonder if the problem occurs if SoundFlower is removed-- there are other solutions for desktop audio capture.

What else could I use?

iShowU has an audio capture component.

LoopBack does this as well as adds many other excellent features. It's as close as the Mac has to Voicemeeter Banana, and in some ways is better.

Thank you so much! I installed iShowU and I haven’t had issues since. You’re a lifesaver!! ^_^
