How To Stream Obs To Discord With Sound

Hey there, fellow streamer! Grab a coffee, let's chat about how to stream OBS to Discord with sound. You know, because talking to ourselves in the mirror just isn't the same as sharing our awesome content with the world, right?

First things first: The Basics

Alright, so you've got your OBS Studio all set up, and you're ready to start streaming. But wait, you want your trusty Discord fam to hear your sweet voice and amazing gameplay, yeah? Let's make that happen!

Here's the thing, though. Discord doesn't support streaming audio directly from OBS. But don't worry, we've got a workaround. It's like that time we had to use a ladder to reach the high shelf in the kitchen. A bit of a detour, but totally worth it!

Setting Up Your OBS Scene

First, let's make sure your OBS scene is all set. You've got your game capture, webcam, and maybe even some fancy overlays, right? Great! Now, let's add an Audio Output device. Click on your Sources panel, then click the + button, and select Audio Output Capture.

Name it something like "Discord Audio" (because, you know, that's what it is), and click OK. Now, select your Discord desktop app as the Device. Boom! You've just created a virtual audio device that'll send your audio to Discord.

Configuring Discord

Now, let's hop over to Discord. Click on your server, then go to Server Settings (the little gear icon). Under the Audio tab, select your new "Discord Audio" device as your Output Device. While you're at it, make sure your input device is set to your mic, so your voice can shine through!

Here's a little tip: If you're using a mic, you might want to turn off Automatically adjust volume. It can be a bit too enthusiastic and mess with your audio levels.

Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3!

Alright, almost there! Let's do a quick test. Start streaming in OBS, and make some noise. You should see your audio levels pop up in Discord. If they do, give yourself a pat on the back – you've just streamed OBS to Discord with sound!

But wait, what if your audio isn't showing up? Don't panic! Double-check that you've selected the right devices in both OBS and Discord. If you're still having trouble, try restarting both apps. Sometimes, a simple reboot can work wonders!

Final Touches

Now that your audio is all set, let's make sure your video is looking sharp too. In OBS, click on your video source, then go to the Effects tab. Add a Color Correction filter to boost your colors and make your stream pop!

And there you have it! You're now streaming OBS to Discord with sound, and your stream looks amazing. High-five! (Or, you know, just give yourself a virtual pat on the back. Whatever floats your boat.)

Remember, streaming is all about having fun and connecting with your community. So go out there, show off your skills, and enjoy the ride!
