hello iv recently been trying to stream/record with OBS but its not picking up my mic at all. i'v messed around with the audio levels in windows, and the only way i can get OBS to pick up my mic is to have the levels at 100% with a 30% boost on it. the problem then is you only hear static when i talk. iv also messed with the noise gate in OBS, but nothing seems to work I'm currently using a mod mic 4.0 and plugin it in to the back of my computer.
here are my specs if you need them. 8350 AMD eight core ASUS saber tooth 990FX R2.0 a 770 graphics card two ssds and a hardrive the rest shouldn't matter
OBS has to 'recognise' your mic, and you need to go to the 'audio' settings window, then 'desktop audio device' and there will be a drop-down box where you will be able to 'reinitialize' and 'apply' the settings for your mic.
The other trick is to re-apply a new save-as file for your local recording to be sent to, OBS can be buggy, and sometimes doing this can force the mic to reset.
My 'noise gate settings' are -23dB closed, and -9dB open.
I use an AKG 120 Perception USB microphone.
*Just a note: it might also pay to look at your mic technique, too. All mics have a 'sweet-spot' for detecting sound, especially 'cardioid mics', I actually speak quite close to my AKG mic to enhance the audio.
ok so iv gotten obs to pick up my mic now i just need to figure out how to eliminate static, again messing around with the noise gate doesn't do anything if i record or steam there's permanent static thats being displayed, also i sound dissent, any thought on those issues?
