1. One of your audio devices has a sample rate that doesn't match the rest. This can result in audio drift over time or sound distortion. Check your audio devices in Windows settings (both Playback and Recording) and ensure the Default Format (under Advanced) is consistent. 48000 Hz is recommended.
OBS Sample Rate:
44100 Hz
Speakers (Samson Q2U Microphone):
48000 Hz
Microphone (Samson Q2U Microphone):
48000 Hz
2. Download and install the newest Release Candidate (currently 2) of OBS 27.1 from
https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-studio-27-1-release-candidate.147633/ . This has YouTube integration (similar to Twitch and Restream) built in.
3. Run OBS as Admin. Right click on the shortcut, properties, advanced, check box, ok, apply, ok.
4. In OBS, go to "Settings -> Advanced" and set "YUV Color Range" back to "Partial".
5. Browser hardware acceleration is currently disabled. Enabling acceleration is highly recommended due to the improvements to performance and significantly lower CPU usage for browser sources. This can be enabled in Settings -> Advanced.
6. Enable Dynamic Bitrate in Advanced too.
7. Display and Game Capture Sources interfere with each other. Never put them in the same scene (Live scene and rec).
If still having issues after making those changes, post new log.
