figure out my audio issues.

-OBS seems to be stuttering.

Uh, sorry, local recording with FFmpeg did not stutter, but local recording with OBS was stuttering, so I might need to, oh, I might need to check my OBS audio sampling rate.

What do I know?

  • Local recording with ffmpeg is smooth. ▶️
  • Whisper: This is another test one, two, three.
  • ▶️
  • sample rate is 48k in OBS and 48k in pactl list sources short
  • Let's try OBS recording without streaming.
    • There's stuttering.
    • Setting the audio source in OBS to just the EasyEffects mic seems to make it smoother, so maybe it's a Pipewire thing
    • `PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30` obs makes it sound clean
  • On X11, using Screen Capture (XSHM) consumes excessive CPU time, starving the audio thread. ?
