Question / Help Trouble Recording SC2013

Okay :) hi everyone.

There are three problems I've encountered:

1. When I record, I record my speakers and my microphone. However, I only hear my speakers when I look back at the video. I can't hear myself talking; only the sounds of the game.

2. When I look back at a video after recording, I have horrendous lag, and I have no idea why.

3. Recently, SC2013 crashes when I hit my record hotkey.

I've set up my settings accordingly. Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Cap

Forgot to mention, test your down/upload speeds on speedtest.net and show me the results.

The video issues:

As a general rule of thumb, streaming to a server far away from you (with some jitter) will make your stream seem choppy/laggy.
I see you're streaming at 60 frames per second on the "veryfast" CPU preset, and this can hit your CPU very hard, causing it to skip frames in order to keep up with the stream, and thus appears to lag.

The audio issues:

The only thing I could suggest here is make sure you microphone volume is turned up on the streaming dashboard, like

This.

The game crashing issue:

No clue, this could be caused for so many reasons. Again, test your speeds and check how your RAM is while streaming. It could be that the potential lack of RAM crashes SC.

Could you try to stream at 30fps instead of 60fps and see if that makes a difference?
