    SMALL UPDATE: They have recently updated the website to hide the email address form making it a little tricky to find for some users. Simply click on the "I've Already Donated" button _(even if you haven't donated)_ , and it will show the download form. :)

    hmm the moment I went to preferences -> sound -> Audio for OBS it made all my sound go away. I couldn't hear you talk, and I can't hear anything on my desktop play (GarageBand, OBS sound, etc)

    • @LPSlight0
      @LPSlight0 3 роки тому +17

      In the audio midi setup application, when you create the multi-output device, select the Macbook speakers as well, so that it can play simultaneously with your desktop audio. So when you change your setup audio in systems preferences and select the "Audio for OBS" that you created, you can record desktop audio while hearing sound through your speakers.

    • @H12Beats
      @H12Beats 2 роки тому

      Had the exact same problem and nothing was working until I tried this:
      Go to desktop audio (on OBS)
      Go to advanced properties
      Make sure monitor and output is selected.
      This allows OBS to monitor the signal and output the signal from your device

You solved all my issues in the span of 4 minutes and for free!!! Thank you so much!!!!
