I've done a quick search here, and haven't come across this problem in the support area so I'm making a new topic / thread.
I don't use OBS all the time, just for recording games now and then. There must have been an update or two since I last actually needed sound.
Now that The Division 2's private beta is live, I'm trying to record some audio bugs to submit, and as soon as I start OBS, all of my Windows interface, and game sounds drop level by 50%. Other sounds like AV playback from VLC Player are at the normal level, it's just game sounds that drop by half, and they are recorded at half as well. Playing back with VLC player I have to roll the audio up to 200%
The VU levels show as 25%~50% while the recording is going on, and as can be seen from the attached screenshot my audio level is maxxed. Yet when I turn my mic on, background sounds max out the mic VU meter. had to turn my mic gain in OBS down to 50%
If I close OBS then the Windows sound effect audio levels return to normal, but I have to close the game and exit the UPLAY launcher, and restart them to get the game audio levels back to normal.
I see there is a "Gain" filter that can be added, I have tried adding that and setting it to it's maximum, but it didn't seem to do anything. Maybe I'm using the filter incorrectly?
Any advice?
incidentally, my playback audio and mic input are handled by a Sennheiser PC 363D headset on a USB interface (headset comes with a USB interface into which it's 3.5mm audio and mic jacks plug). Voice comms in games have never been an issue with either internal comms like in Destiny 2, or over Discord or TS3.
