Random static on my AXIS camera live stream.

So anyways, so far all is good using the NVidia NVENC AV1 encoder. I am not sure if this is a NVidia driver or OBS encoder issue but finally narrowing it down.

Like I said This has something to do with either one of the OBS updates or one of the Nvidia driver updates because this worked fine before I can't remember the exact day in which update I wish I could.

Unfortunately, I do not agree that it has anything to do with the encoder.

Isolation is the only way you're going to find it.

Multiple systems exhibiting the same symptoms. Cameras are common to all. Eliminate them & test. If it still happens, it's not the cameras.

Run stress tests on those systems while you're at it. That shit is older than dirt, if the cooling systems have not been updated since day 1, they are more than likely not cooling properly. Pads, grease it all dries out over time...

Standard, not sure why you expected a different result.

Did you test with just 1 Scene/Source, no cameras?
and if I removed the cameras there would be no sound so it would not happen for sure. then it happens it Happens to the sound on the main camera. The sound itself just gets choppy the stream is okay the sound just goes choppy and staticky on the main camera, seams to be the encoder. And not the camera at all because again I record that stream live from the camera before it goes to OBS and it's perfect.

All is nice and cool there's a squirrel cage behind the server that pulls all the heat out of the rack and there's an AC unit in this room that keeps the room nice and cool. Like I said the only variable that has changed here are updates to OBS and updates to the Nvidia drivers nothing else has changed.

OBS Settings > Audio
Audio from the camera is 41.1 kHz audio set in OBS is 41.1 kHz I'm very good at figuring all this out and keeping things consistent, And paying attention to detail and as a IT Pro for 35 Years I do have a lot of experience troubleshooting issues. And if I remove any cameras from my scene i'll just get rid of OBS and stream directly from the camera to youtube and it'll be perfect. Will defeat the whole purpose of having obs. Like I said I've been streaming the same profile and seen setup since June of last year and never had a single issue with it this just started a month and a half ago, and absolutely nothing changed except fiber connections and OBS and driver updates.

30 minute stress tests on the CPU's & GPU's, I'll bet $1.00 they fail in spectacular fashion & aren't performing to spec.

And again you're missing it i'm having the exact same issue on two completely different systems this is now running on a very robust newer system and having the exact same issue so it has nothing to do with the system.

CPU's 2-Xeon Gold 6242R 3.10GHz, 40-Cores,
RAM 64GB DDR4
Video GeForce RTX 4090 24GB.
Monitors 2-Dell UP2516D 4K
2-WD BLACK 1TB NVMe SSD's

Interesting, it appears that you missed it. Anyway I'm done here, fix you rigs, send me a PM when you figure it out.

Test RAM

Yeah the new system comes in on Friday pretty much the same as the one I'm running right now so I don't see that change in anything but so far it's working on the AV1 encoder. When the sound messes up on that main live stream it just sounds like wind blowing in the microphone off and on it's hard to explain what's happening but it's not sound overall the entire thing it's just on that one stream that's getting encoded that messes up and if I change the encoder or uncheck hardware and recheck it it fixes the issue so it's something going on with that and AV1 has fixed the issue so far nothing else I've done has fixed the issue whether I change settings on the camera whether I change servers anything it's an encoder issue for sure.

Yeah, Ram's okay everything's okay on these systems I maintain everything on the DRAC 9 I can see everything there.

Yeah I don't know in the past 35 years I've bought thousands of Dell Servers, workstations, and laptops and I can't recall the last time I'd ever had to replace any ram or CPU or anything like that. I am not saying its not possible but it would show up in the iDRAC9

I tell you what when the R7920 comes in on Friday I'll load Windows 11 pro And the Nvidia drivers and Cinebench And get a full report. And I'll format the computer and reload windows 11 pro Nvidia drivers and OBS I don't put anything else on the computer it's designated OBS server and that Cinebench is 1.3 gigs and Who knows what it loads don't want any remnants of that on any of my computers.

IDRAC9 is just a management tool, not a troubleshooting tool. You could use it as Cinebench torches those systems when it loads them up to 100%

Yes like I said I'll run that on the new server I can't run that on my current computer because I'm running the stream etc I can't take it down. And again I don't want to install all that software on any computer without redoing it afterwards I want to keep it as clean as possible. And right now AV1 has fixed the problem everything's been running for two days not without any issues first time in a long time.

No worries Cinebench is a non-install, just click on the downloaded file & it starts.

Cool, but I'm not buying it. Plus, I have no idea what you've done, last log is from a week ago.

cool, nice to know there is no install. The only thing different from a week ago is that I'm running my workstation right now the R7920 I sent you the specs earlier it was still having a problem with the sound breaking up from the one stream and Changed it to AV1 and so far the sounds been fine that's all I've done different.

And again I couldn't imagine anything failing because of any workload on the computer, I render videos with this computer all the time. Running OBS is hardly using anything, and I'm just temporarily running it on this one until I get the new computer configured and installed.
