Question / Help Ventrilo, Ducking, and Volume issues

Here's the setup I've got.

I'm streaming a play session of World of Warcraft to Twitch.TV and I've got it set up where game sounds and Ventrilo are directed to one sound source. Ventrilo has Ducking enabled where it will reduce the volume of other sounds by 80% when people are speaking or I'm transmitting (and there's a short half-second delay before it kicks in, so it's very obvious when it's happening). This works just fine on my speakers. The game volume is turned down while the Ventrilo voice chat remains at a constant volume and I'm able to hear everyone clearly.

However, after reviewing the streaming video, it appears that the Ventrilo voice chat is being reduced by 80% as well! So when people are talking, ALL volume, including the voice, is being reduced and it's very difficult to hear the voice chat.

I'm using the following settings:
Desktop Audio Device: Speakers
Mic: Disable
Use Push-to-Talk: Disabled
Mute/Unmute: None
Mute/Unmute: None
Force Mic to Mono: No
Desktop Boost: 1
Mic/Aux Boost: 1
Mic Time Offset: 0

Advanced Audio settings are all unchecked.

For Ventrilo, Output Device is using Direct Sound to Speakers
No Hardware mixer
Inbound is 0
Outbound is 4
Ducking is enabled for all Ventrilo sound

When I try to record the session with Flaps, I don't experience any issues with Ducking. It records the voice chat and game audio at the correct volumes as I hear them through the speakers.

Any suggestions on what I need to configure so I can get the audio to stream as it sounds on my speakers?

Here's a log file and a quick revision. Halfway through the game session, I switched the audio sources from my speakers to my headset. I could hear Ventrilo just fine and ducking working correctly lowering the game sounds on my headset. However, the streamed video shows the same issue where all volume, including Ventrilo, was reduced to 80% when people were talking. So it didn't matter if I used my speakers as the source or my headset.

I could theorize but I couldn't say for sure. To say that this is a bug with OBS wouldn't be correct, because OBS does not directly modify the volume of any device itself, it only captures the audio, and then applies the volume control values to the output -after- the fact. Basically, what I'm saying is the lowered volume is what OBS is getting from windows itself, and is not caused by OBS itself.

Even though it might work fine with some other application -- vent is modifying the sound of other applications, and perhaps with the particular API OBS is using to capture audio (known as WASAPI which was introducted in windows vista and up), it's most likely affecting OBS in the same way. It's just a theory, but alternative APIs for sound won't be available for quite some time, and it's the most plausible theory I can think of simply because of the fact that OBS does not modify actual device volume directly.

Though. hm. perhaps I could think of a way you could use a different API -- for example, using the directshow audio source plugin for your mic: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2579 -- that would record the mic through a different API (directshow) via the plugin, and perhaps that may help as a workaround, but it's not quite as responsive as WASAPI, which is what OBS uses natively.

Worst comes to worst, until other API implementations become available natively for capturing the audio, you may have to find workarounds.
