Your audio monitoring device failed to load. To correct this:

2) Restart OBS.
3) Go to Settings > Audio and set your monitoring device to the correct one. Press Apply.
Warning Windows 10 22H2 (EOL)
You are running Windows 10 22H2, which has not been supported by Microsoft since October 2025. 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.
OBS Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Odyssey G60SD (NVIDIA High Definition Audio): 48000 Hz
HDMI (Elgato 4K S): 48000 Hz
Line (2- Studio 24c): 44100 Hz
Realtek Digital Output (Realtek USB Audio): 48000 Hz
Warning Max Video Bitrate Limit Exceeded
Current bitrate 8000kbps exceeds max video bitrate limit 6000kbps. This may result in the streaming service not displaying the video from your stream or rejecting it entirely.
Warning Wrong Color Range
Having the Color Range set to "Full" will cause playback issues in certain browsers and on various video platforms. Shadows, highlights and color will look off. In OBS, go to "Settings -> Advanced" and set "Color Range" back to "Limited".
Info Windows Game Mode
In Windows 10 versions 1809 and newer, we recommend that "Game Mode" be enabled for maximum gaming performance. Game Mode can be enabled via the Windows 10 "Settings" app, under Gaming > Game Mode.
