Hi guys,
I have an issue that seems so inexplicable that I couldn't figure out in any way.
I want to stream a DJ set with OBS. The devices are linked like this:
-I get the signal from the Record output (RCAs) of the mixer (Allen & Heath Xone 92);
-the signal goes into my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (2nd gen), in the input sockets;
-the audio interface is linked with my Macbook Air (M2) through USB port.
The OBS scene layout is this:
-an audio source, from which I should get the signal from the mixer, in which I set the Scarlett 2i2 as input device and also as the "mic/auxiliary audio" device in the audio settings;
-and a video source, with the camera as the video source;
The problem comes when I start playing some music from the mixer and what I get is a very garbled, distorted and altered signal as recorded product.
This is an example of what the audio output is like:

First I thought the problem was caused by the damaged cables or ports used in the mixer or in the audio interface. But then I tried to see if I would've gotten the same result by recording the same music on Ableton and it didn't. The audio was perfect, which means the devices (mixer and audio interface) are ok, I guess. I found out that Apple devices don't have any driver update for the Scarlett 2i2 because they don't need them. So, by exclusion, I think the issue is given by OBS itself.
A thing I also noticed during my tests was that sometimes OBS crashed when changing and trying to save the audio settings. The app is updated to the latest version so I really don't know what to think anymore.
If anybody has any idea or experienced the same issues as mine, let me know.
Thank you!
