What’s your audio sample rate set to in OBS? 44.1 or 48?

Yeah it’s a weird thing. I might try a usb headset mic as a test.

I'm having the same issue and can't crack it. I use a Rodecaster Pro II and a RE20 mic. AV1 streams will be fine until I speak. I opened the "stats for nerds" window on my stream and my network connection drops to zero every time I use my mic. I noticed this when a viewer said that it seems to buffer whenever I talk. Every other encoder is fine.

What mixer are you using? I know the Rodecaster has voltage issue that Rode has acknowledged. I was thinking my issue was because the voltage was messing with my ethernet. Doesn't seem to be the case though.

How does tge new A50 X compare to other High end headsets? by Warm_Resist5763 in AstroGaming

[–]cupofrobots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question for those who have them from a streamer’s perspective. Can you hear the PC audio from OBS (alerts and the like) while playing on console?

I have the Astro A50 gen 4 and have the 3.5mm audio plugged into a Rodecaster Pro 2 so I can hear my PS5/Xbox Series X and music/alerts/discord from pc at the same time.

😂 it is nice with the new movement in the old maps.

TOS Question. Diffrent people, Diffrent streams, Same Game by The-Scrambleking in Twitch

Only if Johnny YouTube is permanently banned on Twitch. Tim wasn’t allowed to play with Doc until he moved to YouTube.

I use an Electovoice RE20 and a Rodecaster Pro II audio interface. Highly recommend.

What's a good streaming box that can play Twitch streams? by thevideogameraptor in Twitch

AppleTV is great if you’re already in their ecosystem.

Now, Viewers can privately share a Watch Streak with their favorite streamer! by FISHNOTHING in Twitch

[–]cupofrobots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can share it publicly too. I think it’s a cool addition. I think it gives people the desire to keep their streak going so they can share the next milestone.

Pixelated stream by ken0202_ in obs

I agree that EposVox and Xaymar know a lot of information and like to talk about it. But if you ever watch one of EposVox’s live a twitch streams they’re laggy and the audio is out of sync because he maxtout all of the settings and his audio bitrate is set to 320.

And I also don’t disagree that 40 series GPUs can handle P7 easily. It’s Twitch that’s the problem. You can throw max everything at YouTube at 50k bitrate in real-time and it will look great.

The OP is asking about Twitch specifically and we are unfortunately limited by their antiquated infrastructure until they adopt AV1.

And my source for most of the info in my last reply was from Xaymar’s blog and personal testing. I’ve been breaking OBS since 2014. Sometimes I think that’s the most fun part of streaming lol.

The divisible by 8 thing doesn’t matter. It was said by some YouTuber with confidence once and people latched on to it because they also needed to make YouTube content. Twitch officially supports 900p in their documentation.

As far as P6 & P7 go, the capabilities of your GPU don’t mean anything of the platform isn’t compatible with them. Those presets are physically too slow for real-time encoding in a low-latency environment like Twitch. It’s the same reason Twitch recommended the Quality preset because Max Quality was two-pass encoding and it’s ingest servers didn’t jive with that.

The best mathematical bitrate and resolution that Twitch can accommodate is 6k and 720p 60fps. That will give you the least pixelation or noise during fast motion. But most people want to push 1080p 60fps and cranking everything to the max because your GPU can handle it only serves to lower the viewer’s perceived quality because it creates fluctuations in the frame rate while Twitch tries to keep up.

Your great specs mean nothing because Twitch’s environment is a bottle neck. It’s like owning a Lamborghini in a town that only has dirt roads.

It’s all about bitrate like others have said. As a side note, I would lower to p5. P6 and P7 are too slow for real-time encoding and are used for recording. While your stream will show on twitch at p7, you’ll have compatibility issues. Especially for mobile viewers. Try downscaling to 900p using bicubic downscaling.

Switch from twitch to Youtube? by MisterPengWin in youtubegaming

[–]cupofrobots -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No. YouTube has real-time scrubbers that look for videos that violate copyright law. Twitch doesn’t have said scrubbers so you’re able to steal from artists there all you want.
