Strange Volume Increase I can't Figure Out - Help?

[saltyd]

Going nuts and I'm sure it's something simple :)

When I switch from Scene-A to Scene-B - the volume level outputted of a source increases. It should not. I have checked all of the following. The source was created/added to Scene-A originally - then I created a second source in Scene-B - using the existing source I previously created.

I've checked the following:
- it's the same source in each scene, and it's using the same sound file for the source.
- Source is not duplicated in Scene-B
- Volume levels in audio mixer are the same for the source in each scene
- Advanced audio properties has the audio source at the same db levels
- No other sources have audio that could be causing the increase (I even turned everything to -inf in audio properties to confirm)
- No filters are set on the source or the scene.

I've also tried changing the sound file source - and the problem persists.

The only factor I think that could be an issue somehow... is that there is a fade transition set on Scene-B - but the audio immediately increases when I switch to that scene (not a gradual increase matched to the transition) - so assuming that can't be it.

Out of ideas - anyone have any thoughts?

If the volume level increases by switching to scene-b, it might be the audio in scene-b is captured/included twice. Not the source duplicated, the audio. Make sure the original audio whose volume increases isn't captured by any other source that is included in scene-b but not in scene-a. A simple check would be to remove the audio source from scene-b and check if the audio is still there -in this case it's the duplicated audio you should identify and remove.
If this isn't the case, an OBS log with a recording session would help and a screenshot of your advanced audio properties as well as a screenshot of OBS itself while scene-b is active to see which audio sources are actually visible in the audio mixer widget while scene-b is active.
