# Audio is delayed in OBS ### OBS specific issues Might be caused by a Browser-source related bug in OBS; this is normally the cause Fully restart OBS and see if that clears the issue.\ \ Start OBS in administrator mode, if on Windows, to ensure it's not being throttled.\ \ Some users have had better luck fully uninstalling OBS and then re-installing it.\ \ If that fails, you can try to bring in audio via instead. [`&novideo`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/video-parameters/and-novideo) can be used to ingest just the audio. Route the audio to a virtual audio device and then bring that into OBS as an audio device. Should be in sync this way. ### Other possible options VDO.Ninja uses 48000-hz sample rate for audio; using this sample rate whenever possible can help keep things in sync. Try to avoid overloading your CPU or using too many browser source elements in OBS; OBS Browser Source can get overwhelmed. VMix could be an alternative to OBS if problems persist; Vmix supports VDO.Ninja also. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
