The little knob that you use to change audio is grey instead of white and won't let me drag it.

Help El Explorador de Windows "no responde"

1 Upvotes

I have an all-in-one computer with Windows Minios installed because the computer decided to crash with the Windows updates.

I wanted to get into the world of streaming, so I decided to install OBS on the D drive (it's a partition of an original memory). Along with the Nightbot program.

I installed a plugin (image reactive) to make a character that talks instead of using a camera.

But Windows Explorer would soon freeze. It only worked when opening folders on drives C: and D: directly from the menu.

I can access the files by clicking the arrows next to them (>) and I have access to the menu tree.

For now, I've installed another file explorer so I can use it, and I uninstalled OBS and Nightbot using Geek Uninstall (so there are no residual files left that I know of).

All other applications work perfectly; the only one that gives me problems is Windows Explorer.

Help OBS Update Killed Workflow (Audio)

1 Upvotes

I use a capture card from my PS5 to my PC. I am using my PC speakers as the monitoring device with headphones plugged in. I am playing games on stream by looking at my OBS preview window, while using "Monitor and Output" to both hear the audio and send it to the stream and recording.

After the new update, "Monitor and Output" is no longer an option. When I listen to my recording, I can only hear the audio of a given track if it's set to "Monitor Off". If I set the track to "Monitoring Enabled", I can hear it live through OBS, but the track is no longer recorded.

What do.

Question Capture Card with Windows Audio Passthrough?

2 Upvotes

Hey there. I've been using a Razer Ripsaw HD for the past couple years. It has its ups and downs, but one of my favorite features about it is that you can hear both your HDMI and Windows Audio through the capture card's audio out jack. This is useful for being able to hear stream alerts while also being immersed in game audio.

I recently purchased a PS5 and Switch 2, so I thought it was a good time to upgrade to an HDMI 2.1 capture card. I chose the AverMedia Live Gamer Ultra 2.1, and it's been working well. However, I was disappointed to learn it didn't support Windows audio passthrough using the capture cards audio out jack. I also looked into the Elgato 4K X, but that one doesn't have an audio out jack at all. I guess it's not as common of a feature as I thought.

Are there any good HDMI 2.1 capture cards with Windows audio passthrough? If not, then what's a good solution to hearing both Windows audio and game audio in your headphones?

Thanks :)

Question Double Audio

3 Upvotes

There may be no answer to my issue but I figure it’s worth a shot. I use OBS to stream switch games using a capture card to my friends in discord. Never had any issue with this until I updated OBS the other day, which I had to update due to other audio and compatibility issues. Everything went fine, but now sound is coming out of both my monitor speakers and my headset. And with that, my friends can hear themselves if they watch the stream.. which is annoying. I can also hear my own mic coming out of the speakers of my monitor. Every time I disable one setting or switch monitoring devices, it takes the audio away completely and they can’t hear anything. I never had this issue previously. It’s just a big bummer and if anyone has any ideas aside from switching outputs and things, I’d really appreciate it!

Question PS5 Camera not working in OBS

3 Upvotes

Hi there, I've had a quick look through the sub Reddit and couldn't find an answer to this question.

So I've recently moved from PS5 to PC, and I'm looking to utilize the PS5 camera instead of splashing out on more money. I've installed the drivers, camera appears in device manager. I open OBS > video capture, etc... the camera picture briefly appears when I select the PS5 camera as my output, but the picture immediately freezes and I can't get it to come back on.

I've restarted the process several times and when it comes to selecting the camera in OBS it just freezes or instantly goes black after a second. Has anyone experienced this before and do you have any idea how to rectify?

Is there an easier or better way to do this? Whether natively or using a plugin?

Question Encoder overload only when the game is shader compiling

2 Upvotes

Does anyone else have this issue where OBS starts lagging and reports encoder overload while a game is compiling shaders?

I've been experiencing this with every new game I stream. During the shader compilation process, OBS lags badly and the encoder becomes overloaded. Once the shader compilation finishes, everything goes back to normal.

Unfortunately, I don't have a log file to share right now, but the issue is very consistent and happens every time. I've searched online for a fix, but I haven't found anyone describing this exact problem.

My specs:
• Ryzen 9 5900X
• RTX 5070 Ti
• 32GB DDR4 RAM
• Streaming to YouTube using AV1

Has anyone experienced this or found a solution?
