I am using OBS to switch between scenes, and routing the output to zoom. Details:
* Mac Mini, Big Sur. 3 cameras + 3 microphones
* OBS: 26.1.2. 3 scenes, one camera and microphone each. All microphones set to Monitor and Output. in OBS preferences, Audio for Mic/Auxiliary Audio is set to VB-Cable.
* VB-Cable: 1.0.7
* Zoom: 5.4.7. Audio Input is VB-Cable, and Output ios External Headphones (my speakers). Mac Mini is the zoom host
This set up all works fine, but when I actually used it in production, the audio suddenly disappeared ( after testing everything 15min before :-( ). OBS was still getting sound, but Zoom wasn't getting anything from the VB-Cable. I couldn't restart zoom (would restart the Zoom meeting, very bad), so I ended up having to choose the relevant mike directly in zoom whenever changing scenes (using my StreamDesk) (instead of using VB-Cable). Restarting everything after the event ended - it's all ok again.
Does anyone have any idea what might have happened, or suggestions for troubleshooting under pressure if it happens again?
