Question / Help Windows 10 Audio Question/Issue?

[Megs]

Heya,

Been using OBS MP for quite a while now streaming daily, the other night I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and noticed some audio behavior changed..

Under Windows 7 I could change my Windows Volume Mixer master volume(device volume) without affecting the Desktop Audio in OBS MP. Setting my Windows Volume Mixer from 100% to 50% to 10% all without changing what the stream hears at all.

After the upgrade to Windows 10 my Windows Volume Mixer master volume now changes the OBS Desktop Audio meaning if I turn my headphones from 100% to 30% the stream also has a 70% volume decrease. These were independent before I upgraded.

Any insight of something I could've fudged up? Did a full clean install of windows 10 + drivers.

Log file of me opening OBS to play with volume sliders, not sure if it helps:

Small update, was just playing around a little bit to try figuring this out and noticed that if I mute the Windows Volume Mixer Device, the Desktop Audio goes to full blast in OBS.

Just a curious thing I noticed... Maybe it helps?

Anyone else have this behavior? It'd be nice to know this is the intended way OBS works under W10.
