Question / Help OBS not working with Audio Interface (Audient/StudioLiveAR12/Focusrite) but working with OBS when Ableton Live 10 is running.

[NikhilBee]

Hello!

I've been trying to do a tutorial recording with screen and audio capture via OBS. The moment I have Ableton running through my audio interface (Audient id4 or Focusrite 2i2), OBS stops reading the signal. I read through your forums and tried two solutions 1. removed exclusive mode for my audio interfaces via windows 10 settings. 2. Downloaded and installed the obs studio asio 2.0.0 driver. ensured is visible in the 64 bit folder within the obs parent folder within Program Files. But I do not see this driver anywhere in the i/o driver list of OBS (nor Ableton) I fried my brains trying to get Ableton and OBS to read from my audio interface at the same time, and find myself helpless.
Not sure if I'm missing something! What do I do? pls halp the noob! :(

System : Asus Rog G531GU i7 9750H
NVIDEO Gforce GTX 1660 ti 6GB
Focusrite Scarlett 1st Gen (audio interface)
Audient iD4 (Audio Interface)
Ableton Live 10.1 licensed

Log seems to indicate exclusivity is still on.

Keep in mind exclusivity isn't relevant to ASIO devices-- those are always exclusive anyway. So either turn off exclusivity and use the device directly without ASIO, or use ASIO and then you need another solution for routing audio to two places at once (physical splitter, etc).
