Bug Report Microphone monitor responds but no microphone output to stream

[bluesatin]

I've been having this problem repeatedly recently.

The microphone meter responds and goes up and down when I speak as per usual, however the stream gets no audio output of my microphone. The audio of my desktop goes through without a problem though, it's just my microphone.

Just to confirm, I mean this meter:

Now I assume this is due to my odd audio setup, I'm currently routing my microphone through Adobe Audition and Virtual Audio Cable and then into OBS so that I can apply realtime effects on my voice. I'm also using QPC timestamps to try and fix the sync between my webcam and voice.

Here's a pastebin of one of my logs: http://pastebin.com/83Uw4D6w

Note that I've edited it because there is thousands of this line in it, you can see the note on line 93:

14:46:42: Audio timestamp for device '[VAC] Line 1 In (Virtual Audio Cable)' was behind target timestamp by 3518

The problem doesn't happen all the time but it's incredibly annoying because I have no way to tell if it's happening or not before I go live. I have to wait for someone to tell me it's messed up! D:


Thanks for your time,

Bluesatin.

Virtual audio cable can have issues sometimes, though if you're using the most recent version it shouldn't. Is your VAC up-to-date? Also, if it comes through the audio meter then it definitely should be going out to stream as well, though that error being repeated means audio is definitely getting cut off. Mic QPC timestamps may not be what you want. How much delay do you have in VAC? If your VAC buffering is too high it'll get cut off in OBS as well.

I had it set to the default 7ms per interrupt if that's what you mean.

I had thousands of those timestamp out by 3518 messages in the log, making the file several MB big. They were always the same length, although it was different every separate time it happened.

So would it get behind and then never recover from the delay, causing it to just constantly cut out the audio?

I was having a tiny bit of a DPC latency problem due to Netlimiter when there was heavy network usage, I uninstalled it and it reduced my DPC latency to an extent. That might have fixed the problem for reference.

Haven't had the problem since, so I guess I'll leave this to be, unless it happens again.
