Yes, setting a really low buffer on variable bitrate is really bad.

If you cant do 500/500 or 500/400 then there's not much point trying to stream most gaming i think

I can't get OBS to broadcast the music from my music player programs, and it seems to only plays sounds from Starcraft 2. My game sound and mic work perfectly. Any idea how to fix this?

My control panel settings:
Playback: Speakers / ASUS Xonar DX Audio Device - Default Device
Recording: Microphone / Webcam C260 - Default Device

OBS Audio settings:
Desktop Audio Device: Speakers (ASUS Xonar DX Audio Device)
Microphone/Auxiliary Audio Device: Microphone (Webcam C260)

Using game capture.

I had it working with these settings, but OBS stopped broadcasting my other desktop sounds after restarting my computer with the same settings left on. I've tried using default settings in OBS with no success as well.

You mean Xsplit gamesource? Im not aware of anything called game source in OBS (and it would probably be avoided to avoid confusion)

Xsplit gamesource is vastly different in terms of performance and how it scales to anything in OBS. I think its worse by some margin at high resolution and FPS (like 1920x1080) but better at lower ones, it's also much more limited as to what it can capture etc.

Hi i just want to stream but I don't know if my computer can afford it.

Intel® Core™ i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
2,7 GHz
2,99 Go
ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
1680x1050

Here is the test of my Internet speed : www.speedtest.net/result/2572756046.png

I tried to stream with 600/600 buffer and 30 FPS but it was horrible for viewers.

Thanks.

Try 840x525 (1:2 downscale) at 20-30fps with x264 preset set to medium or slow

I hope you aren't responsible for all the problems on the OBS support forum we have to deal with caused by people changing their preset .

Maybe if they misinterpret me =P

I have done more yelling at people for doing it than i have reccomending it, plus quite a bit of stress testing with cpu logging. If i can run through stress tests in sc2 without exceeding 90% on any core aside from occasionally the main game thread @3.8ghz for 960x540, 60fps at medium, im pretty sure he can handle 840x525, 20-30fps at medium if not slow @2.67 (both nehalem)

Not sure if thats a joking smily or pissed/judging o.0

I just really dislike anyone giving advice to change the preset without knowing the full circumstances. It's incredibly easy to ruin your stream with it, and the benefits are extremely minimal.

His circumstances are very similar to mine and i experimented a lot and spent a very large amount of time learning what i could, i dont think you could go wrong with medium @30fps at that resolution, maybe slow @20. The efficiency gains between Veryfast and Medium/Slow are large, as much as 30% higher at times.

I wouldnt touch it for playing around with a higher resolution stream (maybe 720, 30fps - 720, 60fps/1080, 30fps with a CPU like a 3770k@5ghz or a 3930k perhaps) but we're talking less than 20% of the resolution of "1080p" at only 20, 30fps. Tripling CPU load is not exactly fatal, it may not be sandy/ivy bridge or overclocked, but its still a desktop i7. I know the Nehalem i7's and ivy bridge pretty well.

anyone else having a high pitched tone when they are using their microphone?

i only have it when i enable my microphone but it just hurts my ears so much, any fix for this?
The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

Apologies if this has been answered already. The quality is great for me thus far, but I do have this annoying black box around the edges of what it is capping, and I've been tweaking the aspect ratios but it won't solve the issue.

Is there a 'fit to screen' option or something that I've been dumb and missed?

Are you sure it wont?

What input/output resolutions are you using?

Twitch player is 16 : 9 i believe so it will have black bars unless you fullscreen if you don't use that aspect ratio.

would anyone know why even though my upload is consistently 4.3mbs+ up (on multiple servers, ive tested), yet I can't stream on a bitrate any higher than 2000/2000?

5ghz i7-3770k, 2400mhz 4gb mushkins, z77x-ud5h, x25-m g2 80gb, gtx 460 768mb

I've also been messing with the presets, for whatever reason given my bitrate issue, i can just stream on medium right? That'll make up for my low bitrate?

You miss crucial information (1366x768, 60fps) but as i already said medium would probably be ok on 5ghz 3770k for streaming sc2 at that resolution, fps

Preset cant make up for lower bitrate very well, even if you have like 25% higher efficiency in encoding, 2k 1366x768fps wont look nearly as good as 4k, even medium vs veryfast - and 2k medium vs 4k medium again you have the same bitrate gap but nothing to bridge it

Is there a way to set up a webcam in multiple scenes? When I add my cam in my game scene and the same cam in my other scene used for desktop / loading etc. for games 1 scene will always turn out with a red cam screen.

Are you sure it wont?

What input/output resolutions are you using?

Twitch player is 16 : 9 i believe so it will have black bars unless you fullscreen if you don't use that aspect ratio.

I don't have the upload rate to stream to Twitch, I'm just saving the vids to disk and uploading the occasional one to Youtube. I'm also in terrible shape as a player so I don't see the point in streaming a lot :p

I play SC2 on a different resolution to my monitor, and I've capped both with my monitor's standard aspect ratio, and the one I used for SC2. The latter actually looked a lot worse.

I can get on my other PC to check these things if you want more specific details? Apart from the black border around everything, I'm actually super happy with OBS thus far.

Well, what resolution are you playing the game in and what resolution are your file outputs? You can check them with right click - properties

If they are the same resolution or aspect ratio im not sure how black bars would manage to get added
