Question / Help OBS Microphone Displayed as desktop audio device

[mitch]

My OBS is acting weird. it is only showing my recording devices in both the desktop audio and the microphone audio devices. i havent found a way to fix this and was wanting to know if anyone else has had this problem.

Go to Advanced settings and uncheck "Use Input device for desktop audio"

I am removing that option and removing the code for it (just about) in the next version

Aw, damn. Could you possibly leave it in as a command-line switch, Jim? It's useful for niche setups, and a shame to strip it out just because some people enable options that they don't understand, then complain about the program being broken. A stronger 'blinkenlights' barrier could keep both sides (functionality, and shooing people away that don't need it).

I mean, did it get enabled by-default or something? See so many people apparently turning it on for no reason.

It'll be available via INI file. I'm renaming the variable though so that the settings won't roll over.

No, apparently there was some bad guide that told people to enable it or something, so I'm just removing it. If people *really* need to run "stereo mix" for their desktop audio I'll give them the ini file option.

More importantly, OBS2 will have 2 desktop audio captures and 3 aux, so the need for it will be eliminated. And usable versions will be coming out soon(ish)
