Old Audio playing in background of a newly recorded video

[shethkb]

Recently , I have started having a issue while recording a new video and replaying it that an older video is playing its audio in the back ground. This does happen randomly and not with all the videos I record. Is this a set up that is defaulting a specific video as a default background? Or some setup mistake while I am recording new videos ?

I appreciate any guidance you can provide so that any new videos which I record do not have this ghost/previous audio in the background. Also please let me know if there is any way to remove the background audio from the videos which I have this issue.
Thank you.

How old? 1/2 second? Last session?

If it's a short delay, echo, or even a "robotic sound" (a short enough delay that you can't separate it anymore, but still a delay), then you're probably Desktop- or Output Capturing the same device that you're Monitoring. The Desktop/Output Capture happens *after* the mixer for that device, so it includes *everything*, including what OBS sends it. The delay then, comes from the second trip through the operating system's audio handler.

The solution to that, is to not capture the same device that you monitor. Use two different devices, or live without the monitor.

If it's last session, then you probably have a source somewhere, or an external player that's being captured, or something like that.

It's also possible, if it's several seconds of delay, that you're watching your own stream with the sound on, and *that's* getting captured. It's good to watch your own stream, just to make sure that the *entire* process works, but it's also a potential loop that you need to know about and prevent.

Aaron,
Thanks for your reply...There is only one old video from couple of weeks back, whose audio gets added in the background of new videos which I create.. Not sure, why/how audio from this one video gets added to new recording everytime..I will try moving this old video into a different folder from which I am recording.. In Advanced Audio Properties, Audio Monitoring is off for all audio types...If you have any other suggestion, I would like to try that out, this is definitley a head-scracther for me

I wonder if you have a source somewhere that doesn't look at first glance like it would have that in it, but it does. Not necessarily the video itself, but an original component of it. Look in Global Audio too; I've seen people forget that that exists, or never know to start with. (Settings -> Audio)
