Hello! I’ve been try to screen record FMOD but I can’t get OBS to record the audio from FMOD. How do I do it?

Do you mean FMOD Studio? Check what audio device Studio has been set to output as. OBS cannot capture ASIO for example.

Ok! I figured it out finally, at least on my system (Win 10). Posting here as note to self in case I forget, and in case it helps anyone else 😃

First I set up as shown in this video:  
“Audio: From REAPER to OBS - Music & Voice on separate tracks” by Tormy Van Cool

[![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/FCFXxQf-s6s/maxresdefault.jpg "#024 - ▶️ Audio: From REAPER to OBS - Music & Voice on separate tracks [Tutorial - How To -ENG]") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCFXxQf-s6s)

- note, after watching that video, he has also added an video updating for later version of OBS\*

The above works great for Reaper to OBS, but to make the same OBS setup work for FMOD, I had to change FMOD from ASIO to WASAPI for some reason.

And then instead of ASIO Input Capture (ie, to get the audio from the Reaper via Rearoute 1 and 2), I replaced that input with Audio Output Capture.

Note, I still kept the mic exactly as shown in the video (ie, using Asio Input Capture, set to OBS Channel 3.
