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
Analogue 1 + 2 (Focusrite USB Audio): 44100 Hz
Display and Game Capture Sources interfere with each other. Never put them in the same scene.
You are running Windows 10 22H2, which will be supported by Microsoft until October 2025.
OBS is not running as Administrator. This can lead to OBS not being able to Game Capture certain games. If you are not running into issues, you can ignore this.
Encoder overload may be related to your CPU or GPU being overloaded, depending on the encoder in question. If you are using a software encoder (x264) please see the
CPU Overload Guide. If you are using a hardware encoder (AMF, QSV/Quicksync, NVENC) please see the
GPU Overload Guide.
Your stream encoder is set to a video bitrate that is too low. This will lower picture quality especially in high motion scenes like fast paced games. Use the Auto-Config Wizard to adjust your settings to the optimum for your situation. It can be accessed from the Tools menu in OBS, and then just follow the on-screen directions.
