Hey everyone,​


I'm encountering an issue with OBS where it’s not outputting any audio during my streams or when I try to monitor it. Here’s what’s happening:

  • OBS is receiving audio: The audio bars for my desktop audio, game window capture, and microphone are moving in OBS, indicating that it’s detecting all audio sources correctly.
  • No audio output: My stream doesn’t broadcast any audio, and when I switch to "Monitor and Output" in the Audio Monitoring settings, I still can’t hear anything being played back.
  • Windows audio mixer: OBS is not muted in the mixer, and everything appears fine.
  • Hardware and permissions: My microphone, headset, and desktop audio are all working perfectly with other applications. OBS also has all necessary permissions enabled.
I’ve double-checked the following:

  1. My audio devices in OBS settings are configured correctly.
  2. My default playback and recording devices in Windows are set properly.
  3. There’s no other application overriding or conflicting with audio output.
Despite all of this, OBS doesn’t output the audio as expected. Has anyone faced this issue before or have any ideas on what might fix it? I’d really appreciate the help!

Thanks in advance!

Can you please tell us how you solved it.
The mkv video files that OBS records to dont have sound (very similar to you) and in the Properties/details tab of the file there is no bitrate data for video AND audio

A restart of the program has now got it to record audio - HOWEVER there is still no bitrate data populated in the file details - Davinci Resolve Studio will see the lack of this bitrate data as no audio and wont import the sound. I have had this happen with other software (Shinobi Pro etc) that has the same issue in Resolve.
