When you don’t have access to a high-quality microphone, noise cancellation apps can be helpful. Most people do, if nothing else the audio output to their display.Noise cancellation software is a practical way to eliminate or lessen unwanted sounds such as background noise, microphone hum, keyboard typing, mouse clicks, and mic noises to produce clear sounds during online meetings, phone calls, streaming, and general recordings. Most likely they already had a different audio output device. The mic delay will still be there though. It'd really be better to just use Voicemeeter though at that point it would 'just work', no switching things back and forth before/after each streaming session. You won't hear any audio at all if OBS isn't running, unless you switch your default Windows audio output device back to Speakers, and will still have a small amount of audio delay on your microphone due to capture/digitization/playback delays. Set your Mic to 'monitor and output' in the AAP as well. Set the Desktop audio to 'monitor and output' in the advanced audio properties in OBS.Ħ. Set your Speakers as the 'monitoring device' in OBS.ĥ. Set the display audio as your Desktop device in OBS.Ĥ. Mute or turn down the display's speakers to zero.ģ. Set your default Audio Output Device (in Windows) to your display's audio output. Most people do, if nothing else the audio output to their display.Ģ. Then you get true realtime mic monitoring, with channel separation.Ĭlick to expand.Most likely they already had a different audio output device. Preferably one with ALT channel and/or audio group support. The only actual fix is to go with a real mixing desk. The big drawback to this is that it will increase the delay already present in OBS' software monitoring even further, potentially to the 'speechjamming' point (if it wasn't already).

Bam, you have both sound sources coming out of your speaker output, but avoid baking them together in OBS. Run virtual cables from the virtual desktop and virtual monitoring devices to your actual speaker output device. Have OBS monitor that device for your Desktop channel.Īlso create a playback device, and set it as your Monitoring device inside OBS. Create a default device for all your desktop audio. I'd recommend using something like Voicemeeter as a workaround. Unfortunately this is one reason that a lot of people go with professional audio gear after a while, including proper mixing desks.
