Obs studio not recording audio - best obs studio alternative for PC?

ShareX is also very stable in recording, and there are few problems with audio recording failure. What's more, it takes up very little system resources and will not slow down your computer, so it is particularly suitable for those occasions that require quick screen and audio recording, such as when making tutorials or game videos, making the whole process smoother.
ShareX is a powerful and free OBS Studio alternative for PC, but it does have some shortcomings. Although the interface seems simple, the settings are hidden deep, especially the audio and screen recording settings, which are not very intuitive at first. In addition, there are occasional minor bugs, such as audio desynchronization or stuttering after recording.
If you need a tool to get started quickly, ShareX may not be as convenient as other alternatives in terms of user experience.
OBS Studio was not recording audio, okay, before trying other, let's try some troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:
- Check the audio settings: Ensure that the audio input and output devices are set correctly in OBS Studio. You can do this by going to Settings > Audio > Audio Input and Output Devices.
- Restart OBS Studio: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve the issue.
- Check for conflicts with other audio apps: If you're using other audio apps simultaneously, try closing them or switching to a different audio input/output device.
- Update your audio drivers: Ensure your audio drivers are up-to-date, as outdated drivers can cause issues.
