OBS Audio Echo - Can anyone diagnose the cause based on my settings?

YouTube

This problem wasn't as much of an issue when I was streaming Animal Crossing, as that's mostly just ambience, but in a game like Detroit it's especially disruptive.

I did some research and found this: "turn monitoring off on your sources in Advanced Audio Properties". According to this though, audio monitoring is already off:

This was taken post-stream and so I'm not sure that, because it's no longer in use/plugged into anything, it reverts back to this by default?

Muting the audio via my capture window mutes everything - could it be that the echo is a combination of this window and the OBS visualiser being open?

If it helps, this is another look at the audio settings (but again, I'm unsure if this changes when I fire it all up):

I only post this here because I've no trusted source of folks outside of this forum. :wub:

I don't think it's your OBS audio settings.

Looking at your last stream there are a couple of possibilities.

First, make sure that if you have your stream open in another window (like twitch's stream manager page) that you have it muted. The dialogue appeared to be significantly behind the game which would suggest that being the culprit.

Might also be the elgato window.

You're capturing from a PS5 right? Are you taking that directly into OBS or are you capturing the Elgato window? What capture card are you using?

Capturing from a PS5 with an Elgato 4K60. OBS is taking from the Elgato window.

The more I think about this, the more I think it might actually be that... :fp:

Pretty sure this has been a case of overcomplicating matters.

Most likely.

I've done it myself before and it's easy to miss.

As for using the 4K in OBS rather than having to capture the Elgato window, read this page.

It's ironic that this was going on whilst spending most of the stream doing detective work in-game, so in that respect I'm glad there's a funny side to it.

Thank you again, Devlin. :wub:

No problem.
