Okay, so I've been at this for a while now. For context: I used to use Arch linux and I recall having to do some loopback command to listen to the output of my default sound device, thereby capturing my desktop audio to stream with in OBS. Since then, I switched to FreeBSD but also streamed from OBS on a separate (Windows) computer, using a capture card to capture the HDMI output. Now, I'm trying to set up OBS to stream from FreeBSD.
I have audio working on my system and I can pick up input from my headset mic (but I haven't figured out how to get audio from my webcam mic. A separate issue, but if I can get help with this too, that'd be great). I can't seem to figure out how to capture my desktop audio.
Like I mentioned, I used to do some kind of loopback to record the output sent to my default device, but I think I read on the forums that this isn't possible with oss (or there is a hacky way to do it with virtual_oss, but I couldn't get that to work. Can't find the thread).
I also tried to use ffmpeg to capture audio, but I could only figure out how to capture my mic input.
Does anyone have any idea how to capture desktop audio using OBS? I've provided a screenshot of what I have available (-sndio input, which is same as Audio Input Capture (OSS), that is my headset mic). Here is the output of
Please let me know what other information you might need. Thank you in advanced!
