Warning Windows 11 21H2 (EOL)
You are running Windows 11 21H2, which has not been supported by Microsoft since October 2023. We recommend updating to the latest Windows release to ensure continued security, functionality, and compatibility.
Warning Mismatched Sample Rates
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.

VoiceMeeter Input (VB-Audio VoiceMeeter VAIO): 48000 Hz
CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable): 44100 Hz
Warning Unrecognised Encoder
One of the configured encoders is not recognised. This can result in failure to go live or to record. To fix this, go to Settings -> Output and change the 'Encoder' option.
Info No Output Session
Your log contains no recording or streaming session. Results of this log analysis are limited. Please post a link to a clean log file.
To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:

1) Restart OBS.
