Question / Help Stereo image problem (External audio interface) [SOLVED]

[jHoover]

Hallo obs community,
I want to be able to stream a stereo audio signal, this works fine, but when I use the microphone its signal comes either from the left or from the right side.
In obs audiomixer I can check the "force mono" option. The microphone signal comes now from the mid, but I lose the stereo out.

Is there any possibility to solve this problem?

Cheers :)

Hallo obs community,
I finally solved my problem. Maybe there is an easier way to do it, but I will explain how I solved it, in case someone has the same problem.

System and Software Information:
I am on Mac OSX 10.10.3
DAW: Ableton Live 8 64bit
I am using OBS 0.14.1 (mac)
I use an external audio interface: "Focusrite Saffire pro 14" with the Saffire MixControl 3.7 (Software)
I also use JackPilot: JackOSX 0.90, Here is the link: http://jackaudio.org/downloads/

Solving the problem:

1. This interface has a Loopback function, use it. Select DAW1 & DAW2
   
   
   
   
   
2. Start JackPilot, go to preferences, I use this Settings:
   
   
   
   
   Save your settings, now press the "Start" button.
   
   
3. Next open your DAW (Ableton) & OBS. In OBS Go to Settings/Preferences (I use a german version) > Audio > Select external audio device: JackRouter
   
   
   
   
4. Go to JackPilot and click on the "Routing" button, a small window pops up.
   The Interface uses capture_7 & capture_8 as Loopback channels. My microphone is plugged into the first channel, capture_1. I routed them like this:

• capture_1 > obs:in3 & obs:in4 (doubled it, so the mono signal comes from both channels, sounds like from the middle)
• capture_7 > obs:in1
• capture_8 > obs:in2
• Here is a screenshot for the capture_1 routing:
  

Don't forget to save your routing!

I don't know if this matters but, in OBSs audio mixer I use this settings:

I hope this was useful, have a great day

Cheers ;)

Hey Dude, thanks for taking the time.

I Have 2 questions:

1- I also run saffire mix control, the loopback option is under "Router"correct? At the very bottom.

2 - This Jack Pilot failed to install on my mac. Wich one should I use?
I Run El Capitan 10.11.3

JACK1:

• Source tarball: JACK 0.124.1.

JACK2:

• Binaries: Mixed 64/32 bit, 0.90 of JackOSX for Snow Leopard and later
• Binaries: Legacy 32 bit, 0.90 of JackOSX for systems older than Snow Leopard
• Source tarball: JACK 1.9.10.

You want Jack2.
http://jackaudio.org/downloads/

JackPilot is the program that comes with it to start up and control jack. There is a routing window inside it. Personally, I use QJackCtl, a third-party program that does this with a few more options/features. However, I cannot find a current binary download, and I saw that the current source version is a good two+ years newer than the binary I've been using.
