Bug Report Sound from 1 source only

[rcharrington]

Okay, tell me this Jim.....how come you can stream two (or more) sources of video yet only 1 source of audio?

I have a souce from my avermedia card and I have a source from my webcam. If I choose the webcam mic as the audio source, I don't hear any game sound. If I choose the avermedia as the audio source, I don't hear my webcam mic.

This makes streaming with in game commentary impossible with OBS as with both hands full of controller, ptt is unmanageable.

If you set both device to use your default audio device, and then tell OBS to capture your default sound device, wouldn't you get sound from both? I currently am able to get sound from my desktop and G35, or my desktop and Webcam just fine.

Having multiple sources of audio is something that I need to put in. I do realize that.

I don't see anywhere on the device properties to set anything to do with audio. The audio is set in the scene settings. If you set this to default you will only get audio from the default audio device. This is a problem with OBS in that it has been built with PTT for the mic, but like the previous guy said, with both hands on the controller you can't use PTT.

I believe this is being fixed in the next major release, but that was promised a few months ago.

The strange thing is I can get audio from my avermedia card and my mic if I am running a PC game, but not if I am sending the feed from my xbox to the avermedia card! So I guess that means that if the sound comes from the desktop (which is why your desktop + webcam works).

I can't find a way round this; even by sending the xbox sound directly to my sound card I can only get that or my webcam sound, not both.

Hopefully the next major release will be here soon, as I am having to use Xsplit for xbox streaming, which I don't really like.

It's planned. Afaik there are going to be many audio sources implemented, so you can choose your microphone AND avermedia. Capturing from PC works, because your microphone is set in OBS and the right hand side volume bar is about capturing 'what you hear' on your PC. Any way around that for now, is only using a paid VAC (Virtual Audio Cable) application. I think that if you've got a 'two jack into one jack' plug (I don't know if it ever exists) you could output your microphone and Xbox to one 'entry' in your PC and capture that.
