Using an external DAC or amp? This may help you.

Hello everyone,

I was a proud user of OBS Studio for years until I got a Schiit Magni and Modi stack. When I would use this stack via USB, my desktop audio would cut out randomly and my viewers wouldn't be able to hear any game sound or any music I was playing. Then, I switch to Streamlabs OBS and this worked for awhile, but I ultimately ended up having the same problem. I believe this is due to Dolby Atmos or other sound enhancements. However, I decided to try using the optical input on my amp via an optical cable. Ever since doing this, my audio consistently captures no problem. Even with audio enhancements on. So if you are using an external dac, I would totally suggest you using an optical cable, if your motherboard supports it. I have since migrated back to OBS Studio and I've had no issues with my setup in about 3 weeks. Just sharing.
