I'm at a loss... does anyone have any suggestions for what I can do to fix this? The audio on my live stream is adequate, but does sound a bit harsh, and I'd like it to be better if possible. Thanks! :)

Question / Help Youtube reports my audio is at 43Kbps, but OBS is set to 128

yup but this is before it compresses anything. it reports that OBS is generating low quality audio (between 41 and 44Kbps)

and when i've streamed stuff on youtube just using my built in webcam with the same laptop, the audio has been might higher quality. so i assume OBS is doing something, but i have no idea what...

yup, here's the direct quote from Youtube:
- We recommend you use an audio stream bitrate value of (128 Kbps). The current bitrate for the audio stream (44.00 Kbps) is lower than the recommended bitrate.

I found that I had to use an audio setting of 160kbps in order for the YouTube "OK" message to go away and change to "Good". At 128kbps it gave me a similar error message to what you had (though it said current bitrate was at 78kbps).

turns out this isn't OBS's fault. If I record anything with a microphone in this Win8 laptop, it comes in at the incredibly low bitrate, for reasons that I can't figure out at all. If I use the built in mic, it's fine, but that doesn't sound so good obviously. :(
