Question / Help One audio source with multiple cameras

[Vwdriver]

I am using OBS at a church with 2 cameras and a pro presenter input. The sound is coming from the sound board. I want all of my shots to have the same source of audio. I added the audio to each scene, but with I fade to another camera, the audio sounds weird for a split second. What is the best way to accomplish what I am trying to do? I didn't notice this before, but I may have inadvertently changed something.

The usual way is to either configure your audio source in Settings > Audio, which will place it in all scenes, or leave it disabled there and add it as a Reference in all relevant scenes.

Not sure what you mean by "sounds weird" for a split second. Transitioning between scenes with the same source in them should not produce any interruption, either for audio or audio/video sources.

I have experience similar to you. Mine was a four camera setup with two lav mics and a shotgun for ambience sound. When I cut to the camera with the lav input it sound fine but cut away to another then the sound just dropped very low and sounded muffled and sometimes nothing. I added my audio in every scene as audio capture and levels seem fine but sounded awful.
I havwe since deleted it and instead use the mic/aux in the audio setting and select the appropriate capture on the blackmagic card.

Use the Downstream keyer plugin. Create an "Audio" scene, where you add all your soundsources. Add that scene to the DSK and enable it. Now the audio sources will be available across all scenes.
