In OBS Studio 32.1 we updated the audio mixer and simplified audio monitoring. In 32.2 we removed the old options from the advanced audio properties. In 33.0 plugins and third party tools will require updates to use the new handling. You can still get the same results as before though! 👇

Three images below depict the visual state of these buttons when set to match the old monitoring dropdown options of 'Monitoring Off', 'Monitor Only', and 'Monitor and Output'.

The new Add Source window includes previews for active sources and a Recently Created tab, making it easier than ever to set up new scenes or find that one video file you know you already added somewhere. Preview updates are staggered and cached when possible for efficiency.

Next release we're aiming to update the workflow for adding sources by replacing the popup menu with a new window, which includes previews. We are looking for more users to test this update and provide us feedback. Visit our Discord to try it out and share your thoughts early!

New Additions - Pinning sources - Toggle of hidden sources - Toggle showing inactive sources - Previewed sources in Studio Mode This rewrite also means future updates are easier. Support for sorting the mixer is planned.
A screenshot of the new OBS Studio audio mixer. It showcases the new labels above each volume meter indicating their grouping or status. The labels from left to right denote Pinned, Active, Hidden, Unassigned, Preview, and Inactive.

A popup on the right shows the options menu list.

Each label also has a different visual appearance featuring different background colors for each category.

Both the vertical and horizontal mixer layouts have been updated, and vertical is now the default. Note: Due to how OBS saves default settings (It doesn't), if you've never changed layouts your UI will get swapped to vertical. Horizontal is still available!
A screenshot of the new OBS Studio audio mixer. Six audio meters are shown in vertical orientation and arranged in a row. New category labels appear above each entry indicating their grouping status. The first two are Global, followed by three Active, and finally one Inactive.

The meters of the audible sources are in color. The ones that are muted or inactive are greyscale.

Two buttons are shown below the meters. A speaker icon for toggling the muted state for each entry. A headphone icon for toggling audio monitoring for each entry.

Our crash handler has been reworked on Windows and macOS, including an addition to the startup prompt to upload crash logs to us after a crash so we can fix them! We can only fix crashes we know about, so we hope this makes it easier for people to send them to us!

Our work on the long requested Plugin Manager is finally underway! The initial version included in 32.0 lets you enable and disable plugins in OBS Studio without having to dig into your filesystem. Additional functionality coming in future updates👀
