OBS plays music on startup that I've never brought into my system, in every scene w/o letting up!

Hi,

After using OBS many times without issue, I now cannot stream because of music playing when I start OBS and it only stops when I shut down OBS. It's the same Classical music every time. I changed scenes and it plays in every one. I unshowed every source in every scene, and it continues playing. I see no setting for autoplay of audio in OBS. I never brought this music into my computer. Log file is: https://obsproject.com/logs/1SEgk1vFmIJuA-xr
Thanks to anyone who considers helping with this.

If it's not from some media source you include, it's probably from some vst plugin you loaded.

And if you make a new scene COLLECTION and switch to it, does it do the same thing?
I don't know. Luckily, help from the Discord OBS group helped me solve it. It was a browser source, like you thought. I didn't know that if "shutdown source if not visible" is not checked, then the source is activated ON STARTUP, not when you first "show" it. Thanks very much Harold for looking out for me.

I have the same problem. I cannot find where "shutdown source if not visible" is available to click. hahaha funny I don't know where this source music is coming from, its something I must have added somewhere because its the eclipse, which I wanted to use as a BG.

I had this same problem. Turned out to be a YouTube link embedded into a Browser object in one scene. Took forever to find it. The fix is to check all the URLs in any Browser objects that you may have and act accordingly
