Hello!
I'm getting soft and muffled audio when recording from any desktop audio device. My sound card (Asus Xonar D2X) has an internal loopback, and when I use this (passing desktop audio back into the mic input), everything sounds great. The downside is I have to point the desktop audio in OBS to a silent dummy and use the auxiliary for game audio. No mic now. :(
My encoding settings (x264) are as follows:
Codec: AAC (MP3 is always silent?)
Format: 48kHz, 44.1 doesn't make a difference. Ran through 44-192 on my sound card too.
Bitrate: Normally 160 for Twitch, but I've tried up to 320.
Channel: Stereo
I also have GX mode disabled, as I've read here that this can cause some trouble with Xonars.
Anybody have any thoughts on why everything sounds like it's coming through a pillow? It sounds different to me than a low bitrate, but I don't have enough experience to diagnose much else.
I can post a log later today if it'll help, thanks!
System specs, if relevant:
CPU: i7 4770K
Mem: 16GB RAM
Video: GTX 770 + GTX 460
MB: Asus ROG Maximus VI
Audio: Asus Xonar D2X
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro, 64-bit
