What happens right now, is pretty simple but deadly for any DAW:

You can always set your desktop audio to 0% in the main window if you dont want your system audio and background software screaming while recording/streaming. OBS > Settings >Audio > select in the top 2 lines your onboard soundcard. Then make sure that OBS is using your audio gear for the DAW.

It may vary, because i have Windows 10 right now, but i remember this being the same stuff on Windows 8 & 8.1. Then you go to properties of each used device > advanced > disable Exclusive Mode there. The "default" settings under Windows are just normal audio settings, you rightclick on your audio icon in the taskbar, go to playback and recording devices and rightclick all your stuff that is used by ProTools and make sure that they are not selected as default devices or default communication devices. This is a mess, but this is the only way to make sure that OBS is not gonna mess around with your audio gear that is used in ProTools or any other DAW.ĭo this, if it doesnt help - give me a couple of days, i have to look into ProTools under Windows to tell you more about it, i have no idea about this DAW and how the audio system is built. Remeber that people would not hear what you have in your Preview/Cue output in ProTools, because you are capturing only the master output.Īnd also remeber to remove the "Default device" and "Default communication device" from your HD Omni audio interface. Then you route your master out from ProTools via cable to the line in on the second soundcard and you are ready to go. Leave the Desktop Audio Device at default, there is no way in OBS to disable it. Then you go to settings>audio>Micropone/Auxiliary Audio Device and set your line in on your onboard (or second external soundcard) as your input. If not (would be really strange but anyway) - get one, PCIe or USB, doesnt matter - but it should have a line in input. You have a basic soundcard built into your motherboard? If yes - use it. You have to split the software at a hardware level, that means 2 different soundcards, in this case your HD Omni audio interface (and whatever is attached to it) is ONLY for ProTools, dont even try to hijack this - it will result in high latency in the best case and software crash/bluescreen in the worst case.
