general

you on W10?

yup

ah

if you open up your sound panel, what audio options do you have?

or whatever it looks like on 10

we got it

alright, nice

does we got it mean you fixed it?

i thought

but if i mute obs i get no audio at all

now I think you just muted your audio again anyway, this is just Windows being terrible at audio channels your two options are to use a virtual channel or to use the "browser" feature in OBS

gonna try browser

I'm looking to see if any of the other OBS options let you split audio

I thought for sure window capture did, I remember it doing that at least

audio seemed like it was working for a second

yeah

still was double

i think i got it if i can figure out how to swap what source firefox uses

so I know W10 changed how audio devices work (or so I've heard)

if you have a spare channel, have firefox play through that, record that one in OBS, and just mute desktop audio

you can specify what audio device to use with firefox in the audio settings I am pretty sure

right

i have spare channels

i just need firefox to use it

I'll defer to Leg, he has more W10 knowledge than me, I just added a fuckton of channels to avoid this problem

that there is the menu I was thinking of

i moved its channel

and have the stream only fetch audio

wait

i didnt

oops

i have both splits

playing

so just mute one

you want to have firefox playing to a channel, that only OBS is listening for, and then have your normal desktop audio playing for you watching your own stream, which OBS doesn't record

ugh

Windows audio sucks, I feel you

obs hopped on the other source

tf

muted it on that source

OBS settings, options, audio, devices

obs wont fetch audio if its muted on the same source

once im there

okay

so do you have two audio channels, for OBS to listen on?

at that spot in the options

desktop audio 2

yeah

whatever you have firefox playing to

put it there

what do i want there

okay

perfect

and put the other one on descktop audio

or dont touch it

shouldn't matter

your default is probably your headphones/speakers

whatever device you normally listen on

should i unmute obs on that audio line

that won't matter, but sure, to avoid some weird issue I don't know about

OBS itself isn't playing audio

right

now no audio

do you have bars at the bottom

this is setup like yours should be

okay

yes

channel 1 is my audio (game I'm idleing in) channel 2 is audio for the stream (Google Chrome)

I don't hear channel 2, but the stream does

stream doesn't hear channel 1, but I do

if it's not working, you should just spend 3 minutes to download a virtual audio cable

back in the settings
