Sometimes it only works after a reboot.Īfter you did this and are able to hear everything fine, start OBS and configure all your audio devices in Settings->Audio. Toggle it, close Windows audio mixer, re-open to make it work. Windows is sometimes refusing to activate it.

Sometimes, "Listen to this device" doesn't work immediately. To make these apps audible without OBS, configure their virtual audio device and enable the "Listen to this device" option and direct the output to your speakers.

For every app you want to have a separate audio track in OBS later, install one virtual audio device and configure the app to output its audio to its virtual audio device. To achieve this, you may need to indeed install some virtual audio devices. Use only Windows as Windows audio mixer.Ĭonfigure Windows audio in a way every audio device you intend to capture with OBS Studio has one audio source only. I propose a completely different approach. And you don't want to run OBS just to get access to all audio on your system, I suppose. The issue with this, as well as any external mixing software like Voicemeeter: it's working only, if the mixer app is running. OBS is no replacement for your local Windows audio mixer. Any and all help will be GREATLY appreciated. For some reason even though obs has sound running through it, it doesn't want to output any sound that it has processed. I guess I got my hope up that it would work. I have tried setting OBS's output to a virtual cable via windows' audio settings and enabling 'Listen to this device', but. In place of voicemeter however, I use window's built in sound system to route all of my audio. My end goal of this whole ordeal is having OBS as my sole control panel and not have an external program like voicemeter to handle it. I know that 'monitor and output' lets you broadcast the audio to youtube or some other streaming site, but is there a way to broadcast the audio from OBS to my speakers aswell?Ĭurrently anytime that I want to listen into the audio source I have to go into window's sound control panel and un(tick) 'Listen to this device' on the virtual cable to toggle the source. I am trying to take OBS's audio output and broadcast it to my speakers.
