How To Fix Stuttering Audio in OBS Studio or Streamlabs OBS

I was having an issue in OBS Studio where I would change scenes and my audio would start to stutter but it was only affecting certain applications. After doing a bunch of research that got me nowhere, I figured out what was going on and thought it may help others! Hope it does!

Dude you don't know how much you helped with this video, I literally spent weeks trying to find why my recordings had stutters and for the life of me I couldn't figure out but now thanks to you I literally no longer have that issue, honestly a life savour!

THE HOLY GRAIL, IT TOOK ME A YEAR TO FIND THIS FIX. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[JustOneSmallExplorer]

Thank you bro! the sample rate on my mic was set to 44 vs my playback was, which was at 48. This did the trick!

What fixed it for me, the problem was a plugin I was using called Advanced Scene Switcher to manipulate media sources, and every time the plugin checked for new conditions (every 100ms in my case) it caused the audio in the recording to stutter. If you check the option "Perform on action change only" on the macro that's causing problems in the plugin settings then it will check only at the beginning and won't cause any issues.

I was struggling so much until I found this video!!! Thank you!!!

[Itsmethodman]

This helped an enormous amount as I use voice meeter potato and Nvidia Broadcast to press my audio. Huge thank you.

Thank you so much!!! You're a lifesaver! I thought something was wrong with my computer, but this really helped me troubleshoot my issue!!! All of my inputs were on 48Hz but all of my outputs were on 41.1Hz Great Tutorial!

Just watched this and realized that I always tested my microphone with the windows sound settings panel open...for some reason OBS doesn't like that at all and the mic gets all crackly when listening to yourself trough Discord or TeamSpeak. Just close the settings panel and you'll sound fine again.

I think I will download this Banana Software JUST for the ability to record the different audio levels on different layers, so you can adjust them separate from the game volume! That is HUGE!

Going to test to see if this is what I needed for my music audio. Microphone and music were both going into OBS and then into a Virtual Audio cable and then into multistream software rumble studio. Music was weirdly distorted, voice was perfect. This seems like it should work!

Omg thank you so much. I was having random stuttering when recording and was so confused. It didn't show up in audacity really since that's set to 44.1 but obs stuttered like mad. That was set to 48 and input was set to 44.1. So I just set everything to 48. Thanks again and have a good one.

Just to add to this, if you're a fedora user and use pulse, muting the monitor of the mixer input in the configuration tab sorted it for me.

[PokeJacks]

thanks so much for this. I'm on Mac but was able to easily figure it out. Useful and informative :) i had to restart OBS streamlabs to get it to register the change

Thanks for this information. I dj using OBS and Irig stream 2 for audio coming from my dj controller, some times I create different scenes which means I need to add my irig to those also, but whenever I have a issue with a scene (meaning no camera or audio) during my recording with OBS if clicking a scene that has no audio then going back to my recording starts shuttering. I wouldnt know until after finishing my recording. Some tips that worked for me is never troubleshoot during your recording and listen to the recording as you record through the audio bar in OBS clicking on the gear drop down menu selecting Advanced Audio Properities and Audio Monitoring then monitor audio. This saved me from recording hours of shuttering music. Tested this with listening that way and trying to troubleshoot, after going back to the original scene the audio was slow. Because I didnt select record at that time believed if recorded it would have shutter because the music was slow and the recording couldntfix it. Hope this help anyone.

Thank you so much for this video - I have been going in circles trying to figure this out today!

[JohnnyJice]

I for sure have been having the issue of - I downloaded and tweaked Voice Meter and my Mic would stutter when I would change scenes. I had to select the mic again and that would fix it until I switched again...hopes are high for this fix!

[TheLSpike]

Is there an example of the stuttering you mean? im not sure if this is the same issue as I have

[sorenchesscoach]

I've just went to Audio in OBS, Filters, pressed Default, restarted the fecking OBS. Things seem to have gotten back to normal

[Rogmash]

hey if u still getn issuses after syncing the sample rates - 6:46 - uncheck -> Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device - worked for me :) (record and output)
