I was recording a video, and the recording was supposed to be 20 minutes. When I opened the finished video file, it ended up being 14 minutes, along with the footage being sped up. This has happened while I was streaming too, and I'm not sure what's causing it. If anyone has any clue, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Make sure your audio devices aren't using some crazy sample rate or bit depth. 16 or 24 bit and 44.1 or 48 kHz should both be fine. Set OBS to match.

I tested around with the audio settings, and it doesn't seem like anything was fixed. I've tried re-installing before, and that also didn't work. This problem seems really random, so I'm not sure where to go from here.

Are you overclocking any components in your system? We've had some weird timing issues come up related to that before.

Does the same thing happen if you set your audio device to your Realtek onboard instead of your ASUS VN248-0?

After testing a bit more, this is also an issue with Bandicam, but apparently not Fraps. Still have no clue what's going on...

After restarting my computer, OBS started functioning properly again. It seems as if the issue is completely random from the point where I start up my computer... If this issue ever comes up again and after several restarts, it doesn't get fixed, I'll post something. Thanks for the help c:

Every time I've seen this happen it's either been an improper overlock, or the user was running a third-party system utility that causes it. Usually such utilities claim to improve system performance, but end up having the side effect of speeding up the system's timer, making it unreliable for things like recording/streaming which heavily rely on accurate system timing. It's definitely not anything obs is doing. Again, every time I've encountered it it's been one of those two cases.

The fact that you're having the same issue with other programs should be a big obvious indicator here. If you're not overclocking and haven't messed with the bios at all, then I would need a list of all programs active on your computer via an msinfo log file to be about to troubleshoot what's running and what utility is most likely causing it.

Once I encounter this issue again, I'll be sure to get a log of all running programs. Thanks for the insight.

EDIT: After testing recording again, I found I encountered the issue again. I'm going to PM you a log file in a bit.
