The Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling ("HAGS") feature added with Windows 10 is currently known to cause performance and capture issues with OBS, games and overlay tools. It's an experimental feature and we recommend disabling it via
this screen or
these instructions.
You are running an old version of OBS Studio (30.1.2). Please update to version 30.2.3 by going to Help -> Check for updates in OBS or by downloading the latest installer from the
downloads page and running it.
At least one of your audio devices has a sample rate that doesn't match the rest. This can result in audio drift over time or sound distortion. Check your audio devices in Windows settings (both Playback and Recording) and ensure the Default Format (under Advanced) is consistent. 48000 Hz is recommended.
OBS Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
HyperX Headset Microphone (HyperX Virtual Surround Sound): 8000 Hz
CABLE Input (VB-Audio Virtual Cable): 48000 Hz
VoiceMeeter Input (VB-Audio VoiceMeeter VAIO): 48000 Hz
Display and Game Capture Sources interfere with each other. Never put them in the same scene.
You are running Windows 11 23H2, which will be supported by Microsoft until November 2025.
Audio buffering hit the maximum value. This can be an indicator of very high system load and may affect stream latency or cause individual audio sources to stop working. Keep an eye on CPU usage especially, and close background programs if needed.
Occasionally, this can be caused by incorrect device timestamps. Restart OBS to reset buffering.
