OBS Wont let me stream ( was able to stream before )

Keep getting an error saying
"NVENC Error: Unsupported driver, check that your video card supports NVENC and try updating the driver."
and don't know how to fix it.

Just analyzed it and fixed two critical settings now it's says
"Starting the output failed. Please check log for details. Note: If you are using NVENC or AMD encoders, make sure your drivers are up to date."
I updated my Geforce drivers and still didn't fix it

Had you recently uninstalled itunes?

Had you recently uninstalled itunes?

Yea

So what's going on is that you're in advanced output mode, and you had CoreAudio selected as your audio encoder.
When you uninstalled itunes, it broke coreaudio and made it so that not only can obs no longer use it, but it no longer lists it as an option in output settings, so you can't change it back to ffmpeg.

Reinstalling itunes from https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT210384 (do NOT use the microsoft store link) generally fixes this.

That fixed it. Thank you so much

Weirdly enough it also fixed the issue for me. Why does uninstalling ITunes brake the audio encoder at all?

Already answered above.
