OBS Not Capturing Voice Chat In Warzone/Cold War (2024)

I recently installed a plug-in so that I am able to separate discord, game, soundcloud etc audio tracks so that I have more control when editing.
I would have thought my voice chat would come through with my game audio track but it has not.

Note, default system device for playback is my Headset.
In game settings for game audio and voice chat have both been set to default system device.

Any ideas?

You need to properly setup your audio sources in the preferences.
I use voicemeeter for this, and the audio sources looks like:

Desktop goes game / browser audio
Desktop 2 goes Discord

And for music I use Mic/Aux 4 wich I set up on windows itself, so I can send it to the VOD channel for Twitch.

yeah but what if you dont use voicemeeter? I dont. I seperated my audio directly in my scenes in obs with this addon.

I´m trying to fix this problem over a week now and still dont got it solved. Do I need get into voicemeeter or any other programm similiar to that? or maybe someone can help here? :)

have you tried voicemeter and have found a new Virtual cable

when you use this audio cable instead the other you can route more programs via the windows audio settings

Im having same issue game chat comes through fine with default desktop audio but not via this plug in. From what i can figure out there is 2 audio channels in warzone because you can mute them both separately vis f9/f10 keys so am guessing this plug in only pics up one channel

ok, then the problem is in the plugin.
You must contact the plugin developer about the issue.

Did anyone find a workaround the issue? I have been trying to capture the chat audio since is a different channel from game audio but I cannot find any solution. Please help if anyone have solved it.

Hi yes
I installed a vb-audio virtual cable and in the chat section on mw i set it to the virtual cable and then add that as i an audio input capture. I have it set to monitor and output in obs or otherwise I you can't hear the chat, but stream can and if obs not running you would have to reset it to hear the game chat

Let me know if it work or if you have a problem

I am having hard time understanding what exactly did you do with Vitual cable. I have it as well, but don't undesrtand how to do it, with having Discord, Game Audio, in-game voice chat, and my mic recorded all at the same time, seperate tracks.. Could you be able to hop in discord and maybe help me with that?

Hey I see you are using same Mic setup as me (Scarlett).. Have you figured out getting your Mic to record in Stereo (both left and right)? I have to turn it into mono, because each input counts it as one side of the input.. so if i plug the mic into right input, it only records right side, same for the left. Have you figured it out?

Cheers,
Bruno

OK, I have the same issue as everyone else I can be in-game and hear friends, teammates, and enemies but OBS would not record their audio. I don't know if it will work for you or for anyone using audiobananna but this is what I did.
I have about 5 sources on OBS right now for audio. I have game audio. mic audio. Music, discord, and yt. What I had to do for OBS to record my friend's and teammate's audio in-game was adding a new source called audio output capture. It worked like a charm I can now record all the angry cod kiddos when I kill them. I am guessing that MW2 splits the audio into two channels game audio and mic audio. Not exactly sure but it's now working for me.

Not sure how you fixed it? I’ve been dealing with it for a while now trying to fix it

I haven’t been able to add you on discord, when I click the audio input like you said it brings up the mics I have. Not the virtual cable

Also having issues with this. I've downloaded the vb-audio and set my obs to capture cable output and set my COD to have chat on same channel. In my recordings after a game I can hear game chat normal but I can not hear it during the game in my headset. Any thoughts?
