Question / Help Serious Audio Echo Problem - Help Appreciated

Hello,

I've been using OBS for a good number of weeks now without any trouble, but recently, I've started having a major echo issue seemingly out of nowhere. It is not because I have a tab of my stream open in the background on the same computer that i'm streaming from - i'm watching it back on my separate laptop, and it's very distinct there. Both my game audio as well as my voice audio, and even alerts such as follower alert audio, is all echoed, from the moment I begin streaming to the second I end it.

I've been searching for an answer for a couple of hours, and haven't had any luck or found a post listing the exact problem that I have. I've tried analyzing my current log, but the only thing it mentions is that i'm streaming from a wireless connection, which is 'ok'. But that doesn't address my audio issue. I've also tried deleting and re-adding all of my sources and scenes, with no luck, as well as completely re-installing OBS from the beginning (deleting all third-party content and prior custom settings along with it) but the echo problem is still there.

This makes me think the issue is some sort of audio setting directly on my machine, unrelated to OBS? Any insight would be incredibly helpful, as I stream multiple times a week, and haven't been able to now for quite some time.

Thank you for your time reading this.
P.S. This problem began after I messed around trying to get a donation alert set up for my stream, with the help of the program Subalert and StreamTip. I don't recall changing any audio settings during this process, and even after removing the changes I made from this, the issue wasn't fixed.

Apologies for another bump... I'm pretty desperate to get this fixed, and still haven't found a solution. Any insight - or even just an idea - would be helpful and much appreciated if you have one.

Since before, I've tried unplugging my speakers, which didn't help any, as well as adjusting the microphone properties under "Recording devices" so that under the "Listen" tab, it says my headset instead of Default Playback Device, but that didn't help either. I'm kinda pulling at straws at this point.

I solved the problem with the help of OBS support chat! I have a fancy logitech keyboard (g19s) which has its own separate settings window for adjusting mouse sensitivity, keyboard buttons, audio etc. The problem is that under "Recording Device" the wrong checkbox was selected. It was,"Tie up same type of input jacks, i.e. line-in or microphone, as an input device" instead of the correct, "Separate all input jacks as independent input devices."

Thank you, and this thread can be closed now. :)
