OBS monitoring disabled/only/output - difference?

Okay, after some trials and research, I have understood the different options:

The "monitoring disabled" and "monitoring and output" are quite similar when using a boom microphone; when using a headset microphone, there would be a greater difference between the two, but since I don't have a headset microphone, I can't say exactly what.

As for the monitoring only (cut the output), it simply cuts the audio input from the desktop in the recording; I can hear it on my speakers, but not in the video, we only hear the microphone.

I mark the topic as resolved.

Hello,

You opened a new topic... so I marked the old one as resolved to close it. "No Duplicates".

-- Your microphone is on a stand/arm... there might be a cable length and maybe also a small amplifier before it enters the PC... that could affect your Audio delay.

-- Is your Audio delay ahead of or behind the Video?? And is that always the case?

... To add some info, I use two screens on the same video card... One displays OBS and the other the video in question... and there, I have no delay at all.

I should specify that the processor is quite powerful, it's a Ryzen 7 - 2700X, it has no trouble at all... your problem could also be there; with a processor that can't keep up..?

Hi, the other topic shouldn't have been closed, for one it's not resolved and for two, it's not the same topic, just the same software.

Here I just want to understand what these 3 mentions/options correspond to/are for, it might help me resolve this timing issue, which is sometimes ahead or behind, but never has the same "timing" for each new live...

To note: monitoring disabled - monitoring only (cut output) - monitoring and output

What changes between them, and what are their effects/utilities? There might be one that suits my issues for my lives.

(I have an i7 11700k, RTX 3080, 1440p screen, DDR4 3600MHz RAM, so the power is not the source of the problem)

There you go, it's no longer resolved...
