Question / Help Stream Can Only hear Mic Audio

[TemporalLotus]

The stream can only hear my mic audio and not my desktop. I try playing music but it can't be heard or youtube videos. Help would be really appreciated.

Hey Temporal!

I've had the same issue yesterday after Windows 10 update. I solved it by disabling all sound output and input devices (in windows sound settings panel) except the ones that I'm using to stream/record in OBS. Additionally I unchecked all "Line" inputs in OBS except Line 1 which is the one I'm using, but I'm not sure if it had any impact. Hope this helps!

 

[TemporalLotus]

Thanks hans but this didn't solve the problem unfortunately

You're using surround headphones as your default output, but OBS is set to 2 channel audio-- perhaps that is the problem?

 

[TemporalLotus]

If you don't mind me asking, how do you take off the 2 channel audio?

 

[Narcogen]

Settings > Audio > Channels

 

[TemporalLotus]

Its on Stereo

 

[Narcogen]

Yes, that's what I was suggesting. If you're sending multichannel audio as your default output to a set of surround headphones, but OBS is set to 2 channel stereo, you may need to either set OBS to multichannel, or make sure you're sending an ordinary stereo output to your headphones.

 

[TemporalLotus]

So I should change it to 2.1?

*Update*
I changed it but it echos on stream

 

[Narcogen]

2.1 is just stereo with a subwoofer.

If you are echoing on stream you're either capturing something twice or you have monitoring on when you don't need it.

 

[TemporalLotus]

Do you know how to take it off?

 

[Narcogen]

If it is from monitoring, go to Edit > Advanced Audio Properties and check that your audio sources are set to "monitoring off" and not "monitor and output".

If it is from duplicate sources, check Settings > Audio and make sure you don't have the same device enabled more than once, or better yet, disable ALL the audio sources in Settings > Audio and add audio sources explicitly to each scene, that way you can be absolutely sure there are no duplicates.
