hello everyone. I am having issues. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of obs, i've updated all my audio and PC drivers and whenever obs studio is open all my audio is distorted. I listen to spotify the sound is distorted . I try to record audio in audacity and it is distorted. IF i use any live stream service, the sound doesnt record or it is distorted. when I close OBS, all my sound is beautiful again. I've tried changing settings but i cant get rid of the distortion . Like i said , the strange thing is that it distorts not just recording in obs, it distorts everything. I'm using the lexicon alpha 1 for my audio interface and a shure SM58 (brand new one two) I am also using brand new mic cables. as stated before everything records and sounds great as long as OBS is closed. what can I do?
