Hello today i wanted to start with streaming a bit but its just unbearable to listen to my audio problems

The problems i have is the moment i start streaming my audio starts shifting around in my headphones from one ear to the other to the middle and keeps going its crazy i also get crackling noises sometimes

But its not when OBS only is active its when i start up Path of Exile then all this stuff starts to happen even if i launch PoE in --nosounds

Is it a common problem with this game or something i don't have any problem playing different games but id like to stream PoE

My computer setup

CPU: FX 8350 AMD
Motherboard: GA 970 UD3P
GPU: R9 390 AMD Had same problem with my older one R9 280x
Sound blaster Creative Z
DT 990 PRO Headphones/ Also had this with my G930 Logitechs
Blue Snowball microphone

Need your logfile from the help menu.

Also note that audio format for playback and recording devices must match I dont know why just POE would do this unless its trying to force some settings somehow. I would ensure that audio format matches with playback and recording devices in windows and that it also matches OBS (either 44100Hz or 48000Hz).

I changed it to 44100 24bits now it was diffrent before but i still get the audio changing around in my headset not as frequent but its all in my right ear kinda now and stays there 1 side just goes a ton lower

12:44:10: max bitrate: 3000
12:44:10: buffer size: 3500

the above needs to be the same. as for 720@30, its best when viewed between 2000 and 3000 bitrate/buffer. but that have to match for streaming

you might have to turn off 7.1 virtual to fix that in that game.

Thank you for the quick responses i wasn't available i will test this today and see what it does for me :)

Also where do i find the 7.1 Virtual setting? in-game or on my sound card ?

It might be both, but I would recommend searching in the game and changing it there first. Testing, then depending on the result, change the one in windows.

Seems like u were right it was that its fixed if i go to 2.1 lose a bit of sound quality but its still fine.
I don't have it with other games so im good :D Thank a bunch for your help kind sir

What i did was change my sound card setting to 2.1 and not Virtual Suround sound thats what fixed it like Dping said
